About Justin
Justin May built his legal foundation in the Midwest. He earned a B.A. from Morehead State University in 2010 and followed that with an M.A. in 2012. He completed his J.D. at Saint Louis University School of Law in 2015. Those years combined classroom study with early leadership roles on campus and practical experience in court.
As a law student and recent graduate he worked inside courtrooms and prosecutor offices. In 2013 he served as a judicial office assistant for the 22nd Judicial Circuit Court, supporting Judge Dierker in Division 18. That same year he took a position as a legal intern at the Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. Those roles exposed him to courtroom procedure and the pace of trial practice.
He moved quickly into private practice. In 2015 he became a founding partner and lawyer at Dixie Law Group, PSC, starting the firm the same year he finished law school. He has continued at the firm since then and has handled client matters in Kentucky courts. Colleagues describe his practice as grounded in courtroom work and client representation.
Outside the office he has taken on bars and association duties. He joined the American Association for Justice Philanthropy Committee and its Young Lawyers Division in 2016 and remains active there. He has been on the Kentucky Justice Association’s Board of Governors since 2016. From 2015 to 2018 he chaired the Kentucky Justice Association’s Young Lawyers Committee. He held membership in the Louisville Bar Association from 2016 to 2017.
Leadership roles extend back to his undergraduate days and law school. He served as president of the Delta Tau Delta Housing Corporation from 2010 to 2016. During the 2014–2015 year he was president of the Marquette University School of Law Student Bar Association. Those positions involved governance, budgeting and organizing events for members.
Over more than a decade in practice he has balanced firm work with association service. He continues to practice at Dixie Law Group, PSC, working on matters that arise in Kentucky courts.
