Responsive, clear, and helpful.

Helped guid me through the confusing legal system. Explaining all possible outcomes and being honest about my situation. Ended with great results and getting my case dismissed.

Tracy Shipley was my attorney at the firm

Mrs Shipley was very knowledgeable and concerned. She wanted the best outcome for me. She also didn’t mind what it would take to get it. I highly recommend her.

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 ultima...tely 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 demon...strated 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.
