About Joseph

Sound advice for important decisions...I focus in personal injury, family law, and criminal defense.

Personal injury, family law and criminal defense trial attorney licensed in Kentucky and Ohio. My clients trust me to advocate for them with integrity and dedication.  I gladly accept this responsibility and have built my practice one satisfied client at a time.  

I am a trial attorney.  There are very few lawyers that consistently try as many cases as me.  This trial experience has provided me with tools most lawyers simply don't have.  Ever case has its own story that must be told.  It doesn't matter if it is helping an injured client recover compensation for their pain and suffering or defending some one accused of a crime, I never give up.  

If you want an attorney that will tell you the truth, provide you with options, and help accomplish your goals, call me.  I frequently handle the following types of cases: 


Civil Litigation: Serious Injury | Automobile Accidents | Motorcycle Accidents | Insurance Bad Faith | Insurance Claims | 

Family Law:  Divorce  | Disolution  | Custody | Neglect & Abuse

Criminal Defense: Misdemeanor | Felony | DUI | Child Abuse

Would hire him once more, if needed.

Mr. Ireland is intuitive and honest. I hired him to help with school placement for my children, as my ex-husband and I couldn't agree upon the location. He walked me through the entire process with honesty and integrity (despite the unprofessional tactics used by my ex-husband's attorney).

A Perfect Choice in Family Law

Posted by

I was in desperate need of legal help and guidance as quickly as possible as it pertain to a domestic issue I was dealing with and could not make go away. When I got "zero" help from the family court system, police departments in two states, or any other resource I reached out to I found Joseph Ireland. He listened to my issues and responded accordingly in a matter of a few hours delivering an end product that same day, which was most favorable to me in my difficult domestic situation. Extremely knowledgeable in the law, very professional, and prompt in his service and delivery, he exhibited excellent and complete follow through. Hands down I could not recommend a better attorney for your family law needs.

Legal Advisment

Posted by

Joseph's professionalism was evident the moment I contacted him. He was very courteous and concerned, he made us feel like we were his only client. This was a case in, involving my son so it was very emotional for my wife and I, his concern meant a lot. After reviewing the facts Joseph helped us relax and gave us the direction to handle this case the appropriate way. Again, I felt as if he dropped everything and we became his #1 priority. Without going into details, things played out almost exactly how he predicted they would. Joseph stayed in touch and followed up with us regularly until the issue was resolved and we were comfortable with the outcome. I can't thank him enough! Joseph Ireland will certainly be my family's "go to" for any legal needs.

Non-Competition Agreement

Posted by

Joseph provided exceptional legal advice regarding a non-competition agreement I encountered with my consulting firm. He reviewed a specific clause in my employment agreement that I was led to believe prevents me from taking a job at one of my former clients. He was very thorough and knowledgeable on the subject, and provided an interpretation of the language in the agreement that was overall very favorable and supportive. Before speaking with Joseph, I was under the impression I may need to quit my job in order to be eligible for the new position with my former client. Now I am much more confident there are other options I can explore before leaving my firm. His advice has saved me 2 years of uncertainty during the waiting period that is called for in my agreement. I appreciate his help in the matter and would recommend his services to anyone needing legal support and advice in the future!

Gives Hope when Hope is needed

Mr. Ireland is a great lawyer, who gives hope when hope is needed and is very positive. He fought hard for our case and was on top of any questions or needs we had! I would recommend him to anyone!
