Stephen H. Poindexter                          
Attorney at Law

Located in South-Central Kentucky, our office is in close proximity to Dale Hollow Lake, Lake Cumberland, Green River Lake, and Barren River Lake.


 

We provide representation to clients throughout Southern Kentucky.  While Mr. Poindexter concentrates his practice in the areas of criminal defense, family law, and social security disability, he is also available for representation in other areas of the law.  As each individual case has it's own unique facts, he is always available for free consultations on any legal matter.

  

DUI and Criminal Defense

       As a former Franklin Police Officer, Logan Co. Narcotics Detective/Deputy Sheriff, Kentucky Probation/Parole Officer,  Commonwealth Detective,and Assistant Commonwealth Attorney, Mr. Poindexter has a strong relationship with area law enforcement officers and prosecutors.  However, as a former Public Defender and now a private criminal defense attorney, he is the first to stand-up for the wrongfully accused!  Also, because many people are arrested at night and on weekends, Stephen provides his cell phone number for emergencies: (270) 459-1111   


Social Security Disability

 

       Social Security Disability and Social Security Income is an area of the law which centers around a person's loss of income and the ability to meet their most basic needs of food, shelter, and clothing.  Most applicants seem to be denied at the initial level and this is when it helps to have an attorney to assist with the Request for Reconsideration and the Request for a Hearing Before the Administrative Law Judge.  In the vast majority of cases, after a person has been denied by the ALJ the chances of obtaining a "fully favorable" ruling is greatly diminshed.  Therefore, even if you don't hire us, seek legal advice upon the first denial.  It will make a difference!

Family Law (Divorce, Child Custody, Child Support, and Visitation)
      While it is settled that the Commonwealth of Kentucky is a no-fault divorce state, which means that the court is not concerned with who is at fault for the failure of a marriage; the issues of child custody, child support, and visitation are always evolving.  These areas require the greatest amount of time and energy, due to the emotions involved and the fact that we are ultimately dealing with the best interest of a child.  No parent is perfect, so we must always be mindful of the mental, emotional, and physical well-being of the child who is ultimately at the center of the conflict.
