Criminal Defense
& DUI Attorney Serving Owensboro & Western Kentucky
B.J. Early
Attorney at Law
Since 2007, Attorney B.J. Early has been defending the rights of Kentucky citizens facing serious criminal accusations. He also practices federal criminal defense and is admitted to practice in the U.S. District Courts for the Western District of Kentucky, the Southern District of Indiana, and the Southern District of Florida. Over the course of his career, he's become a well-respected figure in Kentucky’s legal community and was even awarded the “10 Best Attorney Client Satisfaction Award” by the American Institute of DUI/DWI Attorneys. B.J. loves what he does, and it shows through his passionate defense representation. Part of his success comes from telling it like it is; there’s no sugarcoating the truth. He'll tell you what you need to hear — which may not always be what you want to hear — because, with so much on the line, you deserve total transparency.
