About Jeffrey
Biography
I am a veteran of the United States Navy. I proudly served my country directly out of high school.
After my tour of duty, I attended the University of Virginia to study political science. I recieved my degree in 2000 and was accepted into Northern Kentucky University's College of Law in 2001. I recieved my degree from NKU in 2004 and have been in private practice since that time.
I fully believe and support everything that our wonderful Constitution was created to protect. I believe that everybody deserves their day in court. I believe that the rights afforded to us in our Constitution are rights that everyone is entitled to and that everyone is entitled to a full and zealous defense of those rights.
At Ernst & Associates, we will fight for and defend your rights, in and out of the courtroom with detail oriented focus and zealous representation.

Replied last June 26, 2019I am sorry to hear you were not satisfied with your experience. The best way to address an issue or concern is to contact the office directly. I do not recall the facts of your case as you have stated them. Your facts are extremely vague and do not even address a court your matter was to be scheduled in. Our attorneys take great pride in their work and results. If you would like to discuss your comments or concerns, please contact the office directly.

Dishonest, money motivated, lazy
Made promises prior to hiring which never materialized just to get the business. Said he would advocate for certain things during my divorce but let them slip by the sidelines. Did not stand up to competing attorney. Not an advocate. Left retirement issues go uncompleted at the time of decree. If I ...

Replied last October 24, 2018I am sorry to hear you are not happy with your experience. In order to properly address your concerns or issues, we would need you to contact us and bring these issues to our attention. I attempt to do the very best I can with every client within the bounds of the law. I can not control the facts that exist prior to my team being hired or the way the current law deals with martial properties.
