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.

Greatly Needed Guidance
I was in a very bad divorce. My ex would not agree to anything and would not communicate to even try to work things out. Jeff kept me calm and advised me all along the way so that I knew exactly what was going to happen. His advice was spot on. I could not be more pleased with his help. Thank...

Last Minute
My husband decided that our marriage was over without talking to me about it. He just up and left.
