About

A Professional, Compassionate Approach Peter strives to handle each of his clients with respect and compassion. “Most people don’t approach bankruptcy willingly and they are usually at their wits end. I try to understand their situation before laying out their options and hopefully laying out a path toward the fresh start they deserve,Nothing is more rewarding than watching a client realize they are nearing the end of their debt trap.” says Brackney. Peter takes the same approach with his estate planning clients. Most individuals don’t like facing their own mortality, but doing so can bring peace of mind for both themselves and for the loved ones left behind. Peter also represents Kentucky businesses from startup to wind down, and at all stages in between. Beyond the LawPeter was born in Ohio, but he grew up in Lexington and calls central Kentucky home. As a double alumnus of the University of Kentucky, he bleeds blue! He married his high school sweetheart and together they have three children. When he isn’t practicing law, Peter is a big history buff. His award-winning website, kaintuckeean.com is about Kentucky’s rich history. He even wrote a book, Lost Lexington, about places in Lexington, Kentucky that have been “lost” to history. Peter is active in his community as well; he currently serves on the boards of both South Elkhorn Christian Church and The Blue Grass Trust for Historic Preservation.

I hired Peter to handle estate matters related to my late wife's estate. It was like a life line had been thrown to me. Peter handle all issues dealing with her estate. Peter is personal in consulting with clients. Peter's planning is very pragmatic. And finally I noticed that Peter was highly professional in the work he did.

Our daughter was born into our family with a world of medical complexities. As we navigated through the challenges of seeing her overcome the medical obstacles placed before us, my wife and I simultaneously faced the personal financial challenges overflowing from costs of prescriptions, medical bills, leaves from work, and much more. As the dust settled and our daughter was fixed, we faced a daunting financial outlook. Life happened and we felt helpless. After sitting with Mr. Brackney of Brackney Law Office, we were immediately put at ease with his compassionate approach and professional legal advice. He listened and understood, as we talked through our journey leading us to him. As humbling as it was to walk into his office, Mr. Brackney brought optimism and energy in seeing what steps were available and how to systematically move forward. I never once felt overwhelmed and left feeling very relieved. I would highly recommend Peter Brackney. He is kind and understanding. He brings a unique approach to your unique situation. Words simply do not provide justice in describing how incredibly thankful we are for his practice.

Professional and personal. Truly cared about helping to create an environment to advise and help solve my challenges and threats. Others I know agree he gives you more than just your money's worth.

I got in touch with Peter about a difficult family situation involving an estate dispute. Peter was very understanding and compassionate as he took the time to talk me through the different scenarios and actions he would take on my behalf to help resolve the situation. When things took a turn, Peter referred me to a litigation attorney and didn’t take a dime from me. Thank you for your honesty and generosity. I can’t say enough about how appreciative I am that I found someone trustworthy during this difficult time.

Peter Brackney handled my estate case in excellent fashion. He knew how to resolve problems and cleared them away quickly. He stayed in touch with me throughout the process and clearly explained the sequence of steps and how much time each one would take. He also provided detailed billing and stayed within the costs expected for the case. Mr. Brackney is a very capable attorney and I would certainly recommend him.
