About

Golden Law Office is a Lexington-based personal injury trial law firm staffed by experienced Kentucky attorneys dedicated to representing injured individuals and their families. The firm was founded on a distinctive principle: its lead attorney and partners spent years representing major insurance companies before pivoting their extensive expertise to advocate for victims of negligence.

J. Dale Golden, the firm's founding partner, is a nationally certified civil trial specialist with the National Board of Trial Advocacy—a credential he has held for over 25 years. Board certification in civil trial practice represents an elite credential requiring rigorous examination, substantial trial experience, and adherence to the highest ethical standards. As of 2025, only 14 attorneys in Kentucky hold this distinction. Golden's background defending insurance interests has been transformed into a competitive advantage for his clients, who benefit from his deep understanding of how insurers and defense lawyers approach cases.

The firm maintains a robust practice across multiple areas of personal injury law. Its attorneys handle car accidents, truck accidents, nursing home abuse, wrongful death claims, product liability matters, medical malpractice, premises liability, and workers' compensation disputes. Partner Laraclay Parker has achieved particular recognition in healthcare litigation, obtaining over $25 million in jury verdicts against national pharmacy chains, regional hospitals, and individual physicians on behalf of Kentuckians. Her practice emphasizes corporate wrongdoing within the healthcare system. Partner John W. Walters brings additional litigation depth, having previously founded and managed a regional insurance defense firm, while Partner Alexandra DeMoss-Campbell focuses on complex civil litigation, wrongful death, medical malpractice, elder abuse, and appellate advocacy.

The team includes several attorneys in earlier career stages. Brianna Palmer, an Eastern Kentucky University graduate and former Chief Justice of the student court, and Anthony J. Gonzalez, a University of Kentucky graduate, bring fresh perspectives to client representation. Perry L. Greer III concentrates on workers' compensation claims and pre-litigation resolution of personal injury matters. Several current associates began their careers with the firm in support roles, including Cody McIlvoy and Kennedy Slusher, who each advanced through the organization from runner to law clerk to attorney.

Golden Law Office has achieved million-dollar verdicts on behalf of its clients and maintains a 4.4 Google rating based on 59 client reviews. The firm is located at 771 Corporate Drive, Suite 800, in Lexington, and serves the greater Kentucky region. Prospective clients can reach the office at (859) 469-5000.
