David Crittenden

A consummate professional who guided us through a complex business dispute

Our family-owned construction company faced a significant legal challenge when a former project manager filed a wrongful termination lawsuit. The allegations were serious and threatened both our finances and reputation. From our first consultation, David Crittenden demonstrated the deep, three-decade expertise you hope for in a Louisville attorney. He meticulously analyzed our employment contracts and internal policies, immediately identifying key strengths in our position that others had overlooked. His dual recognition in Employment Law - Management and Real Estate Law proved invaluable, as the case involved property development nuances. David’s strategy was both assertive and pragmatic; he navigated negotiations with a steady hand, avoiding unnecessary courtroom drama while securing a highly favorable settlement that protected our business entirely. Throughout the process, his communication was clear, direct, and reassuring. He translated complex legal concepts into actionable advice without ever condescending. It’s clear why he’s been recognized by Best Lawyers—his command of the law is exceptional, but it’s his strategic thinking and genuine commitment to client success that truly set him apart. We emerged from a stressful situation not only intact but with stronger operational safeguards, thanks to his counsel.
