The majority of my work is helping small business owners and companies work through difficult financial times, by restructuring debts and reorganizing operations, either in or outside the bankruptcy system.

My name is Erwin Roberts. I grew up in Hardin and Meade Counties and was an Army brat as a child.

As I neared High School graduation, I knew I wanted a good education and to continue to play basketball in college so I went to Transylvania University where I graduated in 1994.

Following graduation, I took a position with Bunch & Brock Law Firm, as a runner and law clerk. During that time that I decided to become a lawyer because I found I could help people throughout their legal issues and get the justice they were looking for.

Being in Lexington, I could not only go to a law school that was local, but was also one of the best in the country. So I applied to and was accepted at the University of Kentucky College Law. I graduated from law school in 1997 and right away I took a position with the Fayette County Commonwealths Attorney's Office as a prosecutor.

In 1999, I began working for the United States Attorney's Office for the Western District of Kentucky as an Assistant United States Attorney prosecuting those charged with federal offenses. shortly after that, I joined the United States Army Reserve Judge Advocate General's Corp (JAG) as an attorney. I wanted to develop more experience in a number of different areas and this position allowed me to do just that. I am still in the Army reserve and currently hold the rank of Major.

In 2004, I joined the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security as the Executive Director and soon after that, I was asked to join the Kentucky Environmental & Public Protection Cabinet as the Deputy Director. Also in 2004, I was named the Cabinet Secretary for the Personnel Cabinet for the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

In early 2006, I was recruited to work in private practice and accepted a position at Frost Brown Todd in Louisville and worked there for four years. Until 2010 when I wanted to open my own law firm which I did in July of that year.

With my extensive experience as a prosecutor I help my clients defend themselves against criminal charges'..and I will do the same for you.
