About

I am a "small town girl" who grew up in a blue-collar family in Bardstown, Nelson County, Kentucky. I graduated from Bardstown High School in 1990 then moved to Louisville to obtain my undergraduate degree from Bellarmine University (formerly Bellarmine College). Although I always considered the practice of law as a possible career choice, I learned some very practical skills from my course work at Bellarmine. I was proud to be a part of Bellarmine's nationally recognized Mock Trial team while a student there. I graduated with honors in 1994 with a BA in philosophy and economics, shortly thereafter pursuing my juris doctorate degree at the Louis D. Brandeis School of Law at the University of Louisville.After graduating law school and passing the Bar in 1998, I was hired where I clerked:  Tilford, Dobbins, Alexander, Buckaway & Black, where I was exposed to multiple areas of the law:  real estate; contracts; family law; workers' compensation; and civil litigation. The bulk of my time there was devoted to workers' compensation defense. In 1999, I married my high school sweetheart, and moved back to Nelson County where we now reside with our two teenage sons.Since 2003, I have practiced law with Bradley D. Harville. Mr. Harville has been a great professional mentor and role model.  While my practice still concentrates in the area of work compensation,  we also do a lot of personal injury work at Harville Law Offices, PLLC. Personal service and client communication are very important at this law office. Call for a free consultation.

I would strongly recommend Dana Skaggs and her law firm. They were recommended from a family member who used her office. My case was handled professionally and all questions were answered completely and promptly. My settlement was more than I expected and my long term protection for my injuries are also covered.

I hired Dana about a work related back injury & workers compensation neglect. I highly recommend her. She was very professional, very informative & was always available to me when I needed her. She was highly recommended to me & I will continue to recommend her to others. She went above and beyond for me & I will forever be greatful.

I had a workers comp case that went from-they were working for me to I needed legal. My husband found them whileI was in surgery and im glad he did! Dana got the job done quick and easy. She always answers her phone and she always is friendly to me and she works hard to get the job done right! If you want a great lawyer, she's the one to go to!!

Referred to Dana by a co worker and I called Dana and she talked to me for 45 min. about what was going on and really eased my stress and felt comfortable to meet and hire her. She is a great attorney and better person and got me everything and more. You can call or text her anytime about anything. Everyone I talk to about what happened I definitely recommend calling Dana.

This was my first experience with this law firm and this attorney. Ms Skaggs was very knowledgeable in the work comp processes. She did an exceptional job defending me. She provided excellent communication keeping me updated often via phone calls, emails and text messages. She was very prompt in responding if I had any questions. I was amazed at all that she accomplished for me. There is no doubt that I will call her in the future if I ever have the need for an attorney again.

I was injured on the job and then fired. I had no idea what to do or who to turn to and I goggled for attorney information and came across an attorney named Harville, I spoke with him briefly and my case was given to Ms. Skaggs through his office. I had never been hurt on the job or had any dealings with workers comp before, so I had no idea what to expect. My injury was one that was very complex. The workers comp insurance started my treatment out with the most respected doctors in this type of injury field. I spent close to a year and half going to appts, getting different diagnosis each time, having different types of treatment plans etc, my care was all over the place. Then the workers comp insurance decided it was time to get rid of me, thus ordering the IME (individual medical examination) and this doctor (another well known) in this field decided I was as good as I was ever going to get and released me from all doctor treatments! My attorney Dana immediately got me into a different doctor who not only said that I WAS NOT healed but that I also had permanent damage due to my injury. I'm writing these details because the main thing I want to stress in "my situation" was that it wasn't as typical as most for many reasons. Then end result was this. Workers Comp insurance attorney offered me a very very small settlement, to which I believe that many attorneys based on my case might have said, this is as good as we can get. Not Dana!! She fought my case as if it was happening to her personally! She gave me the confidence to stand up for myself by talking me thru my uncertainties. She gave me a top notch experience because she is a top notch attorney! She knows her workers comp laws and knows her way around the workers comp court. My case went all the way in front of the judge, because Dana listened to me, she believed I deserved more and she fought for me. In the end I was awarded the maximum amount allowed based on my injury and my disability. I felt so vindicated and of course a little richer! If you are looking for an attorney who knows what their doing in this field, you won't find one that's more knowledgeable or that will fight harder than Dana Skaggs! On a personal note, she treated me with such kindness and support but it was her knowledge and drive that impressed me more than anything. She is a sweetheart of a person, but a fighter in her profession. Thank you again Dana for giving me the satisfaction of knowing that "I WON" there is no better feeling than that!!!
