Your Winchester, Kentucky Family Law Attorney

Winchester and Clark County

Winchester is close enough to Lexington that a lot of Clark County residents commute there for work—down the Mountain Parkway or I-64, depending. That can complicate family law cases when one parent works in Fayette County and the other works locally. Custody exchanges, school schedules, all of it has to account for where people actually spend their time.

We're based in Paris and Carlisle, which puts us about 30 minutes from Winchester. Most of our Clark County clients handle the initial consultation by Zoom, then we figure out from there whether we need to meet in person. First consultation is free, and we'll give you a realistic assessment of your case.

  • Flexible meeting locations for Winchester area clients
  • Evening appointments available for working families
  • Experience with Clark County family court procedures and local judges
  • Winchester & Clark County Family Law Services
