Practice Areas

Car Accident 43%

Around Central Kentucky, many drivers treat I-75 and I-64 like the Daytona Speedway acting like the speed limit is just a suggestion. What those people don’t realize is that Lexington car wrecks and Kentucky car crashes anywhere can change the lives of their victims in an instant. When that happens, we are here to help.

Trucking Accident 30%

Truck wrecks cases are not the same as car wreck cases! Don’t let any lawyer try to tell you otherwise. You should only trust your case to an attorney who has the knowledge and experience that comes with practicing several truck wreck cases. Attorney Julie Butcher has that knowledge and experience with many truck cases over her 22+ years of practice. Julie is also one of only a few attorneys in Kentucky who is a member of APITLA that dedicates itself to helping the victims of truck wrecks.

Personal Injury 20%

We vigorously pursue compensation for every aspect of damages. We get to know each client individually, really listen to them, and help guide them through the legal process so their fears are lessened. We know we cannot take away someone's pain or rewind the clock, so we work to put as much money in our clients' pockets as possible so their financial situations will not interfere with the recovery process.

Slip and Fall Accident 5%

Some people think that just because you get hurt on someone else’s property, they must compensate you. That is absolutely not true! Before the property owner (like a grocery store) is legally responsible, they must be negligent. In other words, they must fail in their responsibility to keep their place free of unreasonable hazards and if a hazard is unavoidable, the property owner must warn people of the hazard so they can protect themselves.

Wills and Living Wills 2%

Although we don't do a lot of wills/living wills, we are able to help people get the basic documents they need for a reasonable cost.

Words cannot express how helpful she was

I was injured by a car while crossing the street, and the driver had minimal insurance. Julie was able to make sure that not only were my medical bills paid, but that I received compensation as well. If I had not hired her, I would still have a stack of unpaid bills. She is very personable--she bro...ught me homemade chili while I was homebound, came to my house for consultations, and even deposited my check for me. I liked her so much I went back for a will, power of attorney, and living will, and she did an excellent job and gave me a great break on the cost. Her paralegal, Cynthia Duffy, did a great job as well, and was on the phone daily with the insurance companies and medical providers to make sure my case was settled as quickly as possible Kudos to a great team!

Lisa, you are too sweet! My only regret was there wasn't more insurance coverage available. You certainly deserved it. Thank you.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
