In 1974, Jerry Rhoads started our law firm in Madisonville, Kentucky. Two years later, his brother Tom joined him, and they formed Rhoads & Rhoads P.S.C. The majority of their practice at the time focused on representing injured and disabled coal miners but grew into a full-service personal injury firm over time. Rhoads & Rhoads is now one of the largest personal injury firms in Western Kentucky, with two offices housing seven experienced attorneys and an outstanding staff. We have a reputation throughout Western Kentucky for being aggressive injury attorneys who get results. As testament to our successes, many of our clients come to us as referrals from former clients or other attorneys. Our attorneys are active in protecting the rights of people in the courtroom and in the legislature. Jerry Rhoads is the former president of the Kentucky Academy of Trial Attorneys (now Kentucky Justice Association) and currently serves in the Kentucky State Senate. Chris Rhoads currently serves as a district vice president and on the board of governors of the Kentucky Justice Association.
