About

I have been practicing law since 1993 and have significant experience in business, real estate and family law.  I have been involved in a variety of major business transactions and, as a result, have a broad basis of knowledge and expertise in numerous areas of the law.  I have significant experience in dealing with corporations and corporate restructuring.  A number of my family law clients have benefitted from my business background during their divorce especially with regard to their business holdings and investments.I am in recovery and that is a significant part of my life and my practice.  As part of the process of recovery but as the result of my past alcohol abuse, I have been subject to a reprimand by the Kentucky Bar Association.  Rather than being embarassed by this fact, I embrace it and am dedicated to staying sober and help others achieve sobriety. I am active in the Kentucky Lawyers Assistance Program whereby lawyers help other lawyers dealing with alcohol or substance abuse issues and other programs dealing with addiction and recovery.I also serve on the Board of The Morton Center in Louisville, Kentucky.  This unique institution supports a 12-step model of recovery and uses evidence-based practices to treat individuals, couples and families.  It also partners with the Kentucky Bar Association to offer treatment to attorneys with chemical dependency problems. In addition, I am sensitive to the needs of others dealing with alcohol or other issues and can provide valuable insight to those dealing with addiction or in relationships with people in addiction.

Anyone navigating the family court system can understand how difficult the process can be on families and children. So many processes in the system don’t feel like best practices for children and coparents; rather, they seem to incite conflict, drain finances, and cause stress in parents and children. Jim is absolutely insightful, responsive, honest, and he understands difficult issues. He clearly is self-aware and open-minded, and he pays attention. His assistant Summer is very helpful and responsive. I’m so appreciative to have crossed paths with Jim and Summer.

James represented me in 2018 in a very difficult divorce case. He and his team were simply great. everytime I thought it was the end and we couldn't find a solution, they just thought of something. James always goes the extra mile for his clients, he dosn't just do the job, he actually does all its needed to win the case.

After experiencing a horrible and devastating experience with a family lawyer that I had previously commissioned, Jim helped me overcome all the trials that I was facing as well as the additional stress that was added by my previous, crooked council. Jim's paralegal, Summer, was also very helpful.

Jim has represented my husband and me for two serious legal issues we faced in the past couple of years: a lawsuit from an unscrupulous HOA trying to collect fees for my deceased mother's condo and a grandparent visitation petition that he filed on our behalf. In both cases we were extremely pleased with Jim's expert advise, his patience in explaining the answers to all our legal questions (we had many), and with the final outcomes in both cases. I would highly recommend him to friends and family.
