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.
