Service Review
I was extremely pleased with my services received at Forman and Associates. Specifically, Tracy Shipley was amazing. She went above and beyond to ensure every detail of the case was investigated all while being clear and transparent with me through the entire process. Her actions and knowledge ultimately led to a court ruling we were beyond pleased with. I highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Stay out of Magoffin County, KY courtrooms
If the system was a functioning, sane, evidence-based system, Larry Forman would be an undefeated lawyer. He is a world class lawyer and THE Best DUI lawyer in the world. He filed motion after motion, resulting in my charges being reduced, and he even filed a petition against the judge (who was super suspect). The inside-joke stares and the sarcastic nods and rehearsed nudges and clueing from the Magoffin County DA, the judge, and the testifying officers, makes their courtroom reek of corruption. If I had to go to war, I would want Larry beside me. And when you go to court in America, you are indeed going to war. Larry has the intellect and wit you need to strategize, plus a pair of big brass balls to execute the job. If you need a REAL DUI lawyer, someone who will fight tooth and toenail for you, someone who will look the judge and the trooper in the eye and ask the difficult questions, you’d be mistaken to go with anyone for representation except Larry Forman.

My Atty. Evan Bates & Firm Admin. Stephanie Kelley
I appreciate all efforts Attorney Evan Bates extended while representing me. I feel he brought me justice in my court case. I was experiencing anxiety every moment in the courthouse, but Attorney Evan Bates was extremely professional, kind and patient with me explaining details of pleadings and demonstrated exceptional stewardship of my case through the entire process. I cannot express how grateful I am that Evan had the awareness & sharp observation to catch the police irregularities that brought justice to my case. Additional observation is that Stephanie Kelley, Firm’s Administrator, was always friendly and patient whenever I had any scheduling or minor questions. Larry Forman is extremely fortunate to have Atty. Evan Bates and Firm Admin. Stephanie Kelley on his team. I’m happy to report that I had little interaction with Larry Forman himself, as a voicemail he left me was very unpleasant, unprofessional, laced with intimidation and revealed a very awful demeanor on his part. This occurred after I conveyed my hesitancy to pay the final 1/4 of the agreed amount until my case was concluded, which I thought was appropriate and reasonable although he did not.

Thank you Mr Forman!
I cannot say enough good things about Mr Forman's work and results. He is aggressive, thorough, fearless, passionate, creative and relentless in the courtroom.
** not legal advice to follow **
It is legal to consume alcohol and then drive in all 50 states as long as you are not under the influence. When you have been pulled over or stopped by the police, they are not your friends. They want to arrest you and will find any reason to do so. Do not give them any more information than you have to. Do not do their tests, do not answer their questions.
** end not legal advice **
I was arrested on a DUI charge 6 months ago after being pulled over for a technical violation (16 days expired registration tags). There were some serious holes in the assertions made by the state trooper. Mr Forman and his associate, ROBERT BATES, guided me thru the legal process. They appeared with me at hearings and advised me to not back down.
My trial was yesterday on the charges of DUI and other minor non-moving violations. The prosecution would not offer any reasonable deal despite having very little evidence. A senior prosecutor was assigned to the case. Mr Forman delivered on his promises. What you see in his videos is what you get. He didn't pull any **verbal** punches. He relentlessly attacked the officer and the complete lack of hard evidence. In the prosecutors closing arguments, he spent the first 7 minutes complaining about and attacking Mr Forman. At that moment, I knew we had won. The prosecutor and state trooper even refused to shake Mr Forman's hand while the jury was deliberating. The jury agreed with us and two of the sweetest words to ever grace my ears were returned on the DUI case...NOT GUILTY.
No matter your location within Kentucky, do not hesitate to hire LARRY FORMAN. He will not bow down to the prosecutions bullying tactics and games. You want him standing next to you during one the toughest ordeals of your life.

I wholeheartedly recommend Larry Forman, Esq
I believe Larry Forman, Esq, of Forman & Associates is brilliant. My family experienced some devastating events and I needed an attorney for several reasons. He sincerely helped me get through some very rough times. I don't want to go into details about everything, but he got criminal charges against me and my husband dismissed with prejudice and Larry was by my side, fighting to help me keep my professional license. Through it all he worked hard for me and my family. He was professional, confident, caring and flat out amazing. I know that even though we did not win in every incidence, he did everything he could for me. He is straight forward and honest and he was blunt with me when I needed it. Even to this day he is there for me when I need him. I honestly do not know what I would have done without him. I wish I could put it into words how much I truly appreciate what he has done for me and my family.

THE DUI GUY
Hey guys, I am here to tell you my story about how awesome this man is. I am currently a CDL driver, and I got a job opportunity of a life time. The following week I got a ticket doing 20 MPH over. Needless to say I was devastated that I did that to myself. This man answered all 1 million of my questions (literally 1 million) promptly and fully. Took care of everything I never had to speak to a another person other than him. He got my charge completely dismissed. The amount of gratitude and disbelief I have toward this man is immeasurable. Thank you DUI guy! You are the real deal.

DUI not guilty. Best lawyer period.....
I was driving my tractor trailer through KY and I had gotten pulled over. I had been upset because of personal trouble and had been crying. The officer said my eyes was red and because of that I was under the influence of something. The officer had made sexual advances towards me and gave me his phone number. When I called larry and told him about this he told me how wrong it was and from the state of Kentucky he truly was sorry that had happened to me. Not once did he ever doubt me. He said he would make sure the court knew what had happened. Then the day of court he come in to win. He had to not only do his job he had to keep telling the judge what the law was and he would prove he was right. He is a great lawyer. When I come to court I didn't have any idea if I would get to leave because of the charges and of course I believe in him. I was not under the influence of anything. I had been crying. And my great lawyer made sure the jury seen they had no proof. And not only that he never once left my side because he knew how scared I was of the officer. My driver's license is everything to me because I drive a tractor trailer. Thank you for everything you did for me. You made sure I didn't lose my driver's license and didn't go to jail for something I didn't do. If you need to get a lawyer trust me this is the lawyer you need. He not only will fight for you he cares about you and what the outcome is. Best lawyer around.

Best lawyer you could get.
I had been charged with DUI and reckless driving and no seatbelt of a tractor trailer. When I called Larry and explain to him how that horrible nightmare began. He never once doubted me. The officer who had stopped me had made some sexual advances towards me. The officer even give me his phone number after going through my phone and looking at my pravite and every personal pictures and videos. Larry right away said no Jennifer this should have never happened to you and from the state of Kentucky he truly was sorry and he would be sure that it was brought to the court room what this officer done. He really is intelligent, Brave, he knows the law better than the judge did he had to correct the judge several times. He went in there and he never once miss one thing that they was doing that was against the law or was not going by the law. He went in there to prove a point to win a case and he did win my DUI case. He prove without a doubt there was no evidence. The best thing I ever did was hire this lawyer Larry Forman. I would like to thank you Larry because you saved my career my livelihood and if I would have went with another lawyer I believe I would have lost. forever I am grateful. If you need a lawyer trust me he is the best of best you. This lawyer is who you should hire.

excellent representation
I received excellent representation from Larry Forman for a "stop sign violation" at Fort Knox, KY. He worked meticulously to get the ticket dismissed. He helped keep my record cleaned. I would recommend his service to others in the same situation. Very professional and knows the court system well. He is passionate about his work and fights hard for you.

I cannot recommend this man enough
Regardless of the offense you’ve committed he’s the person to call. I was recently cited for expired tags, a suspended license due to failure to pay a ticket, and driving without insurance. He was able to get all three of the offenses dismissed and the cost of his services were far less than what I had to pay in my court fees. He even made my traffic ticket disappear. The man is a legal God send. Now I’m just trying to find a way to tell my friends about him without admitting how stupid I was to drive around illegally. Not condoning it, but if it happens..call Larry and he will make it right! Definitely a positive learning experience.

All DUI Charges Dropped!
I found Larry Forman while searching the internet for a DUI lawyer. The actual search I performed was "Greatest DUI Lawyer in Kentucky" His name and website caught my attention quickly. I read a lot of his reviews and I was immediately hooked. The next thing I did was pick up the phone and call, it was very easy. He asked me to explain my situation. He told me it would be a case he could handle. The confidence in his voice and the professionalism of his reply put me at ease. I immediately trusted him and I don't know how I knew but I felt that I was in great hands. During my arraignment and the following court appearances, Mr. Forman's professionalism continued to impress me and make me feel certain I had the best man for the job. Mr. Forman was able to get all of my charges dropped. I am forever grateful that I found Mr. Forman. He never accepted defeat and he helped me to believe that I could put all of this behind me. He is the kid of man you want in your corner. I would recommend him hands down to anyone facing DUI charges. I promise you will not regret choosing him to defend you. My life has returned to normal thanks to Mr. Forman!

DUI charge dismissed
I initially hired another lawyer who did nothing about my case at all. I decided to contact Larry for a second opinion and he fought my case like a lion, we even took the case to trial and the charge was completely dismissed. Larry Forman is extremely intelligent, reliable, honest. He basically save my life. Thank you Larry, it was a pleasure to work with you!!
