Golden Law Office stands out for having multiple attorneys with this distinction, underlining their proven trial results, expertise, and dedication to clients.
Golden Law Office in Lexington is home to Kentucky personal injury trial attorneys with a long record of proven results. As of September 2025, Kentucky has over 19,000 licensed attorneys, yet only 14 have achieved board certification in Civil Trial Law from the National Board of Trial Advocacy—the highest and most rigorous distinction available in the field. Golden Law Office is proud to have three of those attorneys: J. Dale Golden, Laraclay Parker, and John W. Walters.
