A decade on Dixie Highway.
Dixie Law Group, PSC was built around a principle: a small, focused firm that picks its cases carefully will deliver better outcomes than a billboard practice that chases volume. Ten years in, the principle still holds.
Ten years. One firm. Two practices.
We opened our doors on Dixie Highway in 2015 with one personal-injury attorney and a conviction that Louisville families deserved counsel that knew their corridor — the on-ramps, the intersections, the trucking lanes, the families that lived along it. A decade later we are five attorneys across two practices, with offices in Louisville, Mt Washington, and Elizabethtown, but the conviction has not changed.
Personal injury came first. Estate planning grew alongside it, because the same families we represented after car wrecks needed someone to help them plan for what came next. Today our practice splits roughly evenly between the two — a balance that is unusual in this market and intentional in our firm.
Why we don't take every case.
Personal injury law in Kentucky is a volume business for many firms. They advertise on billboards, sponsor radio jingles, and accept anything that comes through the door so that the math works at scale. We do not work that way. We take cases we believe in, and we work them to the standard those clients deserve.
That choice has consequences. We turn down work other firms would happily accept. We say no when a case is not strong enough for us to recommend a client invest two years in it. And we negotiate from the position that, if the offer is not fair, we will try the case to a jury. The 7th Amendment is not a slogan to us. It is the source of our leverage and the duty we owe to every client we accept.
In the community.
Justin May sits on the Board of Governors of the Kentucky Justice Association. Brian Weber serves on the board of the Dixie Area Business Association. The firm sponsors the Dixie Highway Give Back Program, sports schedules for Louisville-area schools, and runs an annual St. Patrick's free-ride program for the corridor we share with our clients.
Best Lawyers in America selected Justin May for inclusion in the 2026 edition. We mention it not to boast but because the designation is peer-reviewed — other attorneys, on the other side of the table from us, voted on it.
What makes Dixie Law Group different.
The answer most law firms give to this question — "we care, we're aggressive, we have decades of experience" — is true of almost every firm. So we will be more concrete:
- We will not over-promise. If a case has a weakness, we will tell you. If a settlement offer is fair, we will tell you that too — even if it means the engagement ends sooner than we both would like.
- One firm, two practices. When a wrongful-death case becomes a probate case becomes an estate-planning case for the surviving family, you do not need to find three different lawyers. We handle the full arc.
- We know the corridor. Dixie Highway, Preston Highway, the Gene Snyder, I-65 South, the back roads of Bullitt County. We know where the crashes happen and why. We do not learn your accident scene from a Google Street View screenshot.
- You will talk to your attorney. Not just an intake coordinator. Not just a paralegal. The attorney whose name appears on your engagement letter will be the attorney who returns your call.
Frequently asked.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes. Initial case reviews are free, both for personal injury and for estate planning matters. We use that conversation to understand whether we are the right firm for your situation. There is no obligation.
Where do you practice?
Primarily Kentucky and Southern Indiana. We have also represented personal-injury clients in Missouri and Illinois when the case warrants. For estate planning, our practice is centered on Kentucky probate and Kentucky-domiciled estates.
What does it cost to hire you?
Personal injury cases are handled on contingency — we do not collect a fee unless we recover for you. Estate planning is generally flat-fee, quoted in writing after the initial consultation, so you know what to expect.
How long does a personal injury case take?
Most cases resolve within twelve to eighteen months. Cases that require litigation can take longer. We will give you a realistic timeline at the start, and we will tell you when something changes.
