As the member in charge of the McBrayer Louisville office, I am confident when I state that we are proud of the personalized responsive attention that we give to our clients. Our team of attorneys at McBrayer have experience in all disciplines of the law; we are a full service firm built on leadership, expertise and strong foundation. When the community thinks of the McBrayer name, they think of a respected law firm comprised of attorneys working to accomplish the best result possible. Whether we are representing a client out of our Louisville or Lexington law offices, or Frankfort government relations office, we have an enormous amount of resources available and will go to great lengths to bring you the best legal representation in the Commonwealth. 

My legal practice is diverse, and over the years I have obtained vast experience in complex commercial litigation in state and federal courts throughout the state and country. I have litigated a wide range of commercial claims, including tortious interference with a contract; fraud, nondisclosure and misrepresentation; false advertising and deceptive trade practices; breach of contract; breach of fiduciary duty; breach of express or implied warranty and antitrust litigation. In addition to my litigation practice, I also advise the firm's corporate clients with respect to complex corporate, employee, residential and commercial real estate transactions, landlord/tenant and lease matters.

My experience in governmental entity defense includes defense of local governments, governmental agencies, and officials in connection with claims brought under both state and federal law. These claims include Section 1983 claims, negligence claims, and state constitutional claims such as  alleged deliberate indifference to medical needs, excessive force, wrongful termination, and abuse of process, among other claims unique to city and county governments.

BEFORE MCBRAYER

From 2002-2010 I served as the managing partner of the Louisville office of Landrum & Shouse, LLP, where I was recognized in 2006 by the Kentucky Civil Jury Trial Reporter as one of the most prolific trial attorneys in Kentucky.
