Favorite music album & why? 80’s because it is the best!
Favorite film and why? Titanic because I am obsessed with the Titanic.
Best Live concert you’ve ever attended? Vanilla Ice and Tone Loc in Central City.
Favorite food & why? Steak because it is amazing.
Best memory while working at FWH? When Tyler came upstairs with marital property in a divorce and was holding a rifle while Tom Neal was coming down the hallway on the opposite end and Tyler just looked at Tom and said, “family law case”.
Sarah Cooper
Paralegal to Davin L. Shaw – Madisonville
Favorite music album & why? Fleetwood Mac 1975 or Rumors, everyone thinks Taylor Swift is the best for these songs about her exes, but Stevie would write them and make them sing them with her. True Legend. Seriously though the album is amazing.
Favorite film and why? UP. It is hands down the sweetest love story you’ll ever find. I oddly enough relate to Ellie in the movie a lot.
An embarrassing moment? When I learned that taxidermists in fact do NOT do peoples taxes.
Have you ever seen or heard a ghost? 100%
Best memory while working at FWH? I would say being on the podcast, but the haters keep me from doing it. JK. Probably when Davin fell down the stairs, the first time though because by the third time I knew what the noise was.
Stacey Hagan
Paralegal to Hollie Lindsey (Probate, Estate Planning and Immigration) – Hartford
Favorite music album & why? —Rod Stewart—Greatest Hits
Favorite film and why? To Kill a Mockingbird. Just so wholesome.
Dumbest decision you’ve ever made & what would you have done differently? Used my dad’s razor to shave my legs at 10 years old and cutting a 6-inch gash in my leg leaving a scar that still haunts me.
An embarrassing moment? Never letting that cat out of the bag, next question.
What do you love most about working at FWH? Most of the time it doesn’t feel like a job, it’s my life.
AK Warren
Coordinating Director of Marketing & Social Media Management – Owensboro
Favorite film and why? Talladega Nights – because Ricky Bobby is my spirit animal and it’s the only movie I can watch 100 times and it never get old.
Dumbest decision you’ve ever made & what would you have done differently? Probably backing into my dad’s two day old, brand new, truck after being told “watch out for my truck”. Things I would’ve done differently- looked at my backup camera
What’s your greatest fear & why? My greatest fear would be not going to heaven.
Favorite food & why? Deer meat because you can have it 100 different ways – jerky, summer sausage, burgers, tenderloins, backstraps…yum!
What sets FWH apart from other law firms? The way they care for people. Clients at FWH aren’t just another number. They’re part of us.
P.J. Starks
Director of Media Arts and Crash Scene Technical Operations
Favorite film and why? If I said a film I wrote and produced titled New Fears Eve would that be shameless?
Do you believe in Bigfoot? Yes. I’ve never seen a Bigfoot but it’s just an animal, and new large mammals are discovered all the time. I don’t see why this is considered too farfetched.
What’s your greatest fear & why? It used to be dying and then I got saved. Now it’s less about dying and more about how I die. Will is be insanely painful and gruesome? Yikes.
Have you ever seen or heard a ghost? Absolutely. I’ve seen ghosts my whole life starting when I was about eight. I had a panic attack in 2012 and got placed on anxiety meds and since then I don’t see or experience them as often. So, either it has stifled my sixth sense or I was just crazy the whole time. I suppose either one is a logical explanation.
What is something our firm does for the community & why is that important? We get involved to change lives for the better. Not just from a professional standpoint with clients who’ve been injured, going through divorce, need a will and the like. We’re at local sporting events, helped build low-cost housing, put on blood drives, and even donated our time and resources to produce videos for non-profits free of charge. It’s about being there when those in need require it the most and we provide that in spades.
Meredith Rowland
Legal Medical Investigator – Owensboro
Favorite music album & why? Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’. Their MTV Unplugged Episode is my favorite of all time. Kurt Kobain was either brilliant or disturbed but was excellent at telling stories through music.
Do you believe in Bigfoot? Why or why not? It’s a NO for me! That show “ Finding Bigfoot”, I don’t remember one episode where Bigfoot was found.
What’s your greatest fear & why? Ironically being in a car accident. There is such a broad spectrum of what could happen. I think it is just a fear of the unknown and the possibility of extensive injury.
Favorite food & why? Homemade Butterscotch Pie. I don’t get to have these anymore because my grandmother was the only one who could make them in our family. She didn’t teach anyone in the family how to make them before she left us. If anyone out there knows how to make them, please hit me up. I’m talking butter and brown sugar in a pan on the stove top to make the pie filling, NOT butterscotch pudding in a graham cracker crust! Yuck!
What do you love most about working at FWH? This is truly a phenomenal group of people to work with. They take pride in what they do. They strive to be the best at serving their community and clients.
Warren Garrison
Client Relation Specialist and Quality Control – Owensboro
What’s your Favorite Film?
Goodfellas. Any old mob movies are interesting to me.
Do you believe in Bigfoot?
Yeah, I believe in Bigfoot! Have you not seen the pictures!?
What’s the dumbest decision you’ve ever made?
I decided to take a class at WKU that was about Gandhi because I thought it would be easy…. I was in that class for about 3 days before I realized it wasn’t what I thought.
What is your greatest fear?
Scary movies. I don’t see the point in them, and I will be the person that screams out loud in the theater.
What sets FWH apart from other law firms?
I think the consistent effort to not only provide the best quality of representation for clients but also in the community through various events or sponsorships. I think it is easy for people to do it one time and say that they were a part of it but to continue to do it year after year it’s what sets us apart.
Eden Pendley
Legal Assistant to Hollie Lindsey – Hartford
Favorite band and or album?
33 (Live) by We the Kingdom. They are one of my all-time favorite bands, and I feel like I wrote every song on the album. Each lyric reflects so much of my life it’s crazy!
What is your favorite film?
All the President’s Men is my current favorite movie! One of my degrees is in History, and my Senior Capstone project was on Watergate!
What is the best gift you’ve ever received?
Salvation from Jesus and being raised in church truly is the best gift I’ve ever received!
Favorite food?
Sweet potatoes made any way! I used to strongly dislike them, but I had some amazing sweet potato fries from Burger & Bowl in Bowling Green, and ever since, I’ve been sweet potato obsessed!
Why would you recommend FWH to a friend or family member?
FWH strives to help families in each community, through multiple outreaches, including in the schools. Education is extremely important and knowing that community businesses are supporting our education system is such a huge encouragement to students!
