About Julie A
Julie A Butcher earned her law degree from the University of Kentucky College of Law in 1987. She entered practice equipped with a Kentucky law education and an early interest in courtroom work. Over the years she built a steady practice that spans trial and appellate work.
Her early career included an associate position at Landrum and Shouse, beginning in 1990. That role introduced her to the day-to-day of litigation and client counseling. By 1994 she moved into a leadership position as the lead attorney in a satellite office of Gary C. Johnson, PSC. That stint gave her supervisory experience and a chance to run a regional practice hub.
She later established The Law office of Julie A. Butcher, PLLC, where she continues to practice. The firm appears on her roster of professional experiences and serves as the base for her current work. She is admitted in Kentucky and has experience before the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, indicating work that ranges from trial courts to appellate courts.
Butcher has been an active member of several professional organizations. She joined the American Association for Justice and the Kentucky Justice Association in 1994 and remains a member of both. In 2010 she joined APITLA and continues that membership as well. These affiliations reflect steady involvement in professional networks over decades. They also signal an ongoing engagement with developments in litigation practice and trial advocacy.
Colleagues describe her as methodical in case preparation and deliberate in court. She combines case work at the trial level with appeals, which has required keeping current on evolving precedent in the Sixth Circuit. Her courtroom experience dates back to the early 1990s and includes roles that required managing both client relations and office operations.
Outside of courtrooms, she has balanced the demands of running a small practice. That work includes client intake, case strategy, and supervision of legal staff when necessary. Her practice sits squarely in Kentucky, and she handles filings and appeals in the regional federal appellate court when cases require it.
She continues to represent clients through The Law office of Julie A. Butcher, PLLC and focuses her practice on litigation at the trial and appellate levels in Kentucky and before the Sixth Circuit.
