I met with several attorneys regarding my case. Retaining Mr. Butler was hands down the best decision that I made. On a professional level his knowledge, expertise, and experience surpassed all my expectations. On a personal level I was surprised how quickly I went from communicating with Mr. Butler to working with Brian. With Brian your not just another client, he sincerely cares about you as a person and is dedicated to ensuring that you get the best possible outcome.

After having someone refer me to Brian Butler, I decided to give him a call. He was available all hours of the day, even on weekends and returned all calls or emails within 30 minutes! Brian was very knowledgeable about everything throughout the entire process. He kept me updated every step of the way. He fought for the best possible outcome for my case and we received it. I would highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for a great attorney!

Brian Butler, successfully, defended me in a high profile legal proceeding in the spring of 2019. He was able to obtain a change-of-venue in the highly publicized case. A jury of my peers, ultimately, acquitted me of the allegations. I found that Mr. Butler was always available to answer questions; was thoroughly prepared at trial; and was ethical. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking top-notch counsel. Brooks Houck Bardstown, Kentucky

I made one of the best decisions of my life when I hired Brian Butler to represent me. He was professional, smart, a fighter and most importantly he cared. Because of his ability and his hard work ethic he helped me keep my way of life. Still to this day it was one of the best decisions of my life switching attorneys and hiring Brian. Even years later he checks in with me and is an incredible person.
