Attorneys

Breck Norment, Attorney at Law
The Law Offices of W. Breckinridge Norment III, P.S.C.

277 East High Street, Suite 301, Lexington, KY 40507
Telephone (859) 303-6007, Fax (859) 363-5959

William "Breck" in Ridge Norment III is a second-generation attorney practicing primarily in Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky. He also regularly represents clients in family, circuit, and district courts across the Commonwealth. He is in his ninth year of practice and passionate about helping his clients through life's most difficult challenges.

After practicing in another Lexington Firm out of law school and earning the position of general counsel for a commercial construction company, Breck founded his firm in 2015, where he has practiced for the last 7+ years. His firm prides itself on being a "one-stop shop" for most of the legal issues out there. It operates as a "people's practice" of law, handling almost all family law cases, construction disputes and litigation, plaintiffs' injury claims, criminal defense, estate planning and probate matters, business startups, and other general civil litigation.

Many of Breck's clients seek assistance with divorces and other family law problems, and through thick and thin, he has helped hundreds of clients through some of life's most stressful circumstances. When first meeting with a family law client, Breck encourages realistic expectations and reasonable plans for resolving the case by agreement, as long as his clients' interests are protected. This involves gathering the information necessary for representation, advising clients about their legal rights and responsibilities, identifying the issues that need to be resolved, and discussing potential resolutions. He may suggest drafting a settlement proposal to see whether any agreements are possible at the outset or attempting mediation with a neutral third party. He has found that in most cases, parties who reach their resolutions with less attorney and court involvement typically discover that they are happier post-divorce and save more of their money and resources.

Breck earned his law degree from the University of Kentucky College of Law in 2013, graduating in the top third of his class. He also served as a staff member of the Kentucky Journal of Equine. He was published in the fall of 2012 in Agriculture and Natural Resources Law. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Eastern Kentucky University in 2009, where he played Division I college baseball as a catcher/designated hitter and earned a Bachelor's degree in Broadcasting and Electronic Media. Breck is admitted to practice in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the United States District Court, Eastern District of Kentucky, and the United States District Court, Western District of Kentucky.

Jenny E. Scott, Attorney at Law
Jenny Scott & Associates, PLLC
Telephone (859) 225-8888, Fax (859) 201-1290

Jenny Scott began practicing law in Lexington in 1994, having graduated from the UK College of Law with her J.D. and Centre College with her B.A. She owns Jenny Scott & Associates, PLLC, and practices family law, serving Central Kentucky. Jenny recently served as President of the Fayette County  Bar Family Law Section for the 2015-2016 term. Jenny helps clients navigate divorces, custody issues, emergency protective orders, time-sharing issues, and child support calculations/enforcement. She also has an extensive adoption practice, dealing with interstate, independent, stepparent, grandparent, relative, and contested adoptions.

Family law matters are stressful, and the laws can confuse a layperson. When appropriate, Jenny encourages clients to participate in mediation with qualified mediators to reduce litigation costs and for the client to maintain control of the process. Jenny engages in these mediations alongside her clients to provide legal advice and to help structure agreements. However, not all cases can be mediated; Jenny is an experienced litigator with over 25 years of experience. Her divorce cases range from multi-million dollar, complex litigation to simple, uncontested divorces.
