 Free Initial Consultation (Main Office) Blackburn Domene & Burchett represents companies, non-profit entities, insurers and individuals in a broad spectrum of civil litigation. The firm also provides general non-litigation counseling to businesses, non-profit entities and educational institutions, and maintains a domestic relations and estate planning practice as well. When representing clients in civil litigation, the firm employs a proactive approach. We believe that clients are more likely to achieve a better result if we set the agenda and push a case to resolution, as opposed to simply reacting to the opposing counsel or party. Experience demonstrates that this approach typically shortens the lifespan of litigation resulting in a more cost-efficient representation. The firm is able to remain proactive by ensuring that its attorneys maintain reasonable case loads and those new representations are appropriately staffed. This philosophy also ensures timely communication with clients on all aspects of the litigation process. Blackburn Hundley & Domene is the only Kentucky member of the International Society of Primerus Law Firms, which is a network of small to medium-size firms committed to excellence in the practice of law. Primerus membership is highly selective and firms must pass a rigorous screening process demonstrating their commitment to excellent work product, integrity and reasonable fees. The firm is also a member of the Primerus Defense Institute, which is a collaborative endeavor between Primerus attorneys and corporate representatives with the goal of lowering litigation costs and reducing liability exposure.
