Champions for Educators & Employee Rights in Lexington
Working in public service, education, or state administration is a noble calling, but it also exposes professionals to unique administrative regulations and complex disciplinary procedures. When a professional dispute, contract non-renewal, or disciplinary charge threatens your career, you need a highly specialized advocate who understands the administrative state. At Brooks, McComb & Fields, LLP, we have served as trusted legal advocates in Lexington, Kentucky, since 1993. We focus our practice on education law, administrative advocacy, labor disputes, and civil rights. If you need to find an attorney who will aggressively and intelligently defend your professional standing, our experienced partnership is here to help.
Dedicated Defense in Education Law and Teacher Disciplinary Hearings
Our firm has built a legendary reputation across Kentucky for representing public school teachers, administrators, and university faculty. We understand that educational personnel are bound by strict statutory rules, including KRS 161.011 and local school board policies. As long-time approved participants in the NEA/KEA Attorney Referral Program, we have represented Kentucky Education Association members in hundreds of complex cases. If you are facing an administrative inquiry or contract non-renewal, finding an attorney with a deep background in education law is critical. We handle education matters including:
- Contract Disputes & Non-Renewals: We challenge arbitrary non-renewals, helping tenured and classified employees protect their jobs and seniority.
- Administrative Disciplinary Hearings: We represent educators before the Education Professional Standards Board (EPSB) and local school boards, defending credentials against suspension or revocation.
- Whistleblower Representation: If your contract was not renewed or you faced retaliation for speaking up about student safety or regulatory violations, we pursue aggressive whistleblower protection claims.
- Code of Conduct & Title IX Proceedings: We provide specialized counsel for university students and faculty members in administrative disciplinary hearings.
Fearless Advocacy in Workplace Discrimination and Administrative Appeals
In addition to school personnel, Brooks, McComb & Fields, LLP represents public and private sector employees in a broad range of civil rights and employment disputes. We believe that every worker is entitled to a safe, fair, and respectful workplace. If you are dealing with wrongful termination, hostile work environments, wage theft, or harassment, we offer experienced guidance to navigate state and federal courts. Our attorneys, including veteran litigator James Follace Fields II and founding partner Joellen S.
