Legal Advocacy in Kentucky: Civil Rights, Business Disputes & Appeals
Servicing Louisville, Shepherdsville, Burlington and Shelbyville, KY
When your rights have been violated, your business is under attack, or a court decision has gone against you, you need attorneys who are prepared to fight -- in negotiation, in the courtroom, and on appeal. At Fernandez & Moloney PLLC, our civil litigation attorneys represent individuals and businesses throughout Louisville, Shepherdsville, Burlington, and Shelbyville, KY in a wide range of civil matters.
Civil Rights
Unfortunately, there are still individuals who have been victims of bigotry, ignorance, and the abuse of power. Our civil rights practice covers police misconduct, inmate rights, and constitutional claims under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments. We have been committed to an aggressive, critical, and creative approach to these cases long before they became a subject of widespread public attention -- and that commitment has resulted in meaningful settlements on behalf of our clients.
Civil rights cases we handle include:
- •Violations of due process
- •Unreasonable search and seizure
- •Excessive force, including police shootings with both firearms and less than lethal methods
- •Malicious prosecution and wrongful arrest
- •Conditions of confinement
- •Failure to provide necessary medical care
These cases are complex, often difficult, and not every attorney is willing to take them on. We are committed to the belief that no one is above the law, and that everyone deserves the protections those laws afford. If your civil rights have been violated, we want to hear from you.
Business & Commercial Disputes
Business disputes can arise quickly and escalate faster. Whether you are dealing with a breach of contract, a partner who has violated their fiduciary duties, or an employee who has taken proprietary information to a competitor, delay only makes things worse. Our attorneys work to assess your position quickly, identify the strongest available remedies, and pursue resolution in the most efficient way possible.
Business litigation matters we handle include:
- Contract disputes and breaches of contract
- Partnership and LLC disputes
- Shareholder disputes
- Breaches of fiduciary duty
- Misappropriation of trade secrets and intellectual property
- Non-compete and non-solicitation violations
- Fraud, theft, and commingling of assets
- Employment disputes
- Sales contract and service agreement disputes
- Construction disputes
In many cases, the cost and disruption of litigation can be avoided through effective negotiation. Our attorneys will work to resolve your dispute in the shortest possible timeframe and in the most cost-effective manner -- but when litigation is necessary, we are fully prepared to see it through.
Appeals
Losing at trial is not necessarily the end of the road. If a legal error affected the outcome of your case -- whether criminal or civil -- you may have grounds to appeal. Appeals require a different skill set than trial work: a meticulous eye for legal error, the ability to identify the strongest grounds for reversal, and the capacity to craft persuasive written arguments for appellate judges.
Our attorneys have handled appeals in both state and federal courts. As experienced trial attorneys, we are uniquely positioned to identify what went wrong at the trial level and build the most compelling case for a different outcome on appeal. Even if your original case was handled by another attorney, we can step in, review the record, and advise you on whether an appeal is worth pursuing.
