Bryan Keith Underwood

I enjoy being able to live and work in my hometown. I started my legal career as a public defender and still take court appointed cases. Along the way I acquired the trial skills necessary to successfully defend those accused of crimes, the injured, the disabled, and men and women struggling with domestic issues. I practice regularly in the courts of the following Ky. counties: Mason, Bracken, Fleming, Lewis, Rowan, Nicholas, and Harrison, and will take criminal cases throughout the Commonwealth and in Federal Courts.
