Joe Buckles is a Lexington trial attorney with nearly two decades of courtroom experience. Whether you’re navigating a civil dispute, a contested probate matter, a family law issue, or planning for your family’s future, we bring the skill and personal attention your case demands.

What We Do

Civil Litigation — We represent individuals, families, and businesses in disputes ranging from breach of contract and property conflicts to collections and insurance claims. Joe has secured multi-million-dollar verdicts and has tried cases at every level, including federal court and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Probate Litigation — Losing a loved one is hard enough without a legal fight over their estate. We help clients resolve will contests, fiduciary disputes, contested guardianships, and other probate matters so families can move forward.

Family Law & Estate Planning — From divorce and custody to wills and trusts, we guide clients through life’s most personal legal matters with care and strength.

Why Buckles Law Office?

We’re a small firm on purpose. That means your calls get returned, your questions get answered, and your attorney actually knows your case. Joe has been practicing since 2008 and opened his own firm in 2011 because he believes legal representation works best when it’s personal.

He also serves as a Fayette County Trial Commissioner and an Administrative Hearing Officer for LFUCG Code Enforcement Appeals — roles that reflect the trust the local legal community places in his judgment and temperament.
