Meet Our Trusted Attorney

In his first job as an attorney, he was afforded the opportunity to work on personal injury cases and class action cases, which involved large policy limits. At that time, he also worked on numerous motor vehicle accident cases involving minimum policy limits. By observing and working with excellent attorneys, he was able to conclude that an attorney must give the same effort to every case that he has, regardless of how big or small it is, and that level of effort must be 110%. He strives to treat all of his cases the same … as if he were the client. 

From his time as a trial attorney with the Department of Public Advocacy, Mr. Cornett was able to hone his trial skills, as well as form relationships with the County Attorneys, Commonwealth Attorneys, Court Personnel from clerks to bailiffs, and become familiar with the Judges of Fayette County and what they expect out of the attorneys that practice before them. Due to the sheer amount of cases he handled while there, he came to develop a great understanding of the process as well as what jurors expect from an attorney to convince them to favor his clients. The relationships he has formed along the way enable Mr. Cornett to work with people in order to "get things done" for his clients. The most intelligent attorney in the world isn't very effective if the prosecutors, judges, and juries do not like or respect him.

Mr. Cornett is a member of the Kentucky Bar Association and the Fayette County Bar Association. He received his undergraduate degree from Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky, and his Juris Doctor from the University of Kentucky College of Law.  So, while Crafton is a native of Knott County, he has lived in Lexington for the bulk of the last 20 years and is completely committed to providing its citizens with the best legal representation possible.
