I got divorced after 30 years and Peter was an incredible support from the beginning of the process through the end and well beyond.. I was unbelievably lucky to have found them. I dont think I would be in such a good place mentally and financially without them!! 10/10 recommend!!

Melanie is truly top-tier. She’s an excellent communicator, incredibly reliable, and has a deep, working knowledge of the system that shows up in every interaction. I always felt informed, supported, and confident that nothing was being missed. If you want someone who is sharp, responsive, and exceptionally capable, Melanie is it.

I am very happy with the staff of the firm. Always very professional and helpful. Michele was my attorney for my divorce. Overall I was happy and was glad we were able to wrap this process up as soon as we could. A very good firm. They know what they are doing.

I cannot say enough good things about Michele McKinney and her incredible staff, Shanetta and Stephanie. They are, without question, the absolute best.
Michele demonstrated exceptional legal knowledge, strategic insight, and genuine care. Divorce is stressful and emotional, and Michele has a rare ability to be both fiercely effective and deeply compassionate. She is prepared, thoughtful, responsive, and always several steps ahead. I felt confident and supported at every stage because she truly knows what she’s doing—and she does it with integrity.
Shanetta and Stephanie deserve just as much praise. They are professional, kind, organized, and incredibly responsive. Every question was answered promptly, every concern was addressed, and nothing ever slipped through the cracks. Their teamwork, attention to detail, and warmth made an otherwise overwhelming process manageable and reassuring.
This team goes above and beyond for their clients. If you are looking for a family law attorney who will fight for you, guide you with clarity, and treat you with respect and care, Michele McKinney and her team are unmatched. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone who wants the very best representation.
Truly outstanding.

Tom Banks is the best family attorney in Louisville. My kids and I are forever grateful for Tom’s compassion, skill, and commitment to doing what is right. He is more than a good lawyer, he is a good man!

These guys are amazing. Michelle Mckinney handled my case with professionalism and care. I could tell that she actually cared about us, and that our case was not merely a “job” to her, it was personal. If you are ever fortunate enough to work with Michelle, consider yourself in excellent hands, and know that you are free to finally exhale and relax.

If you are going through a high conflict divorce, especially with any form of abuse, go ahead and do yourself a favor and hire Tom! There are not enough good things to say about him or his staff. Tom treated my daughters and I like family and fought for five long years to keep us safe. (The length had nothing to do with Tom) I can promise you, you don’t want to be the opposing party going against him in the court room, you want him on your side. He holds everyone accountable and fights for you. I truly consider him a friend and would not be living the life I am now without him. My daughters and I are safe, happy and thriving thanks to him. He is worth every penny. I have referred several friends of mine to him as well and they all agree that Tom is the best there is!

I have worked with Thomas Banks and known him for over 15 years. I have personally witnessed the hours and care he pours into each case and have also seen the quantifiable results at the closing of those cases. Thomas Banks has the intelligence and talent, the dedication, and the fire in him that you need in your corner. I would recommend Attorney Banks to anyone.

I don’t have any words to describe how well I was treated at every step of the way and Peter and Tom don’t just treat you like clients but as a family. Tom is a shark in the court. If I would have listened to him earlier my case would have been settled long time ago. Initially everyone is scared and make stupid mistakes but if you put all your faith in Tom and Peter and do as they say the truth and justice will always prevail. I have moved to Florida but my case is still going on in Kentucky and even I get a choice to move to Florida I won’t because I know won’t find attorneys like these. Thank you brothers.

I can’t recommend Michele McKinney enough, she is absolutely amazing at what she does and I will keep her as long as I have to!

Mr. Thomas Banks is mine and my husbands attorney, and he always does a fantastic job!
