Attorney

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 for her J.D. and Centre College for her B.A. She is the owner of Jenny Scott & Associates, PLLC, and practices in the area of 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 supports calculations/enforcement. She also has a large adoption practice, dealing with interstate, independent, stepparent, grandparent, relative, and contested adoptions.

Family law matters are stressful, and the laws can be confusing to 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 participates 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, the complex litigation to simple uncontested divorces.
