Dependable And Prepared Legal Counsel
At Foreman Watson Holtrey, LLP, our attorneys take pride in being prepared and going the extra mile to help clients personally and legally. Before our first meeting with a client, we begin researching the details of their situation and leverage our knowledge of the law to develop a strategy tailored to them and answer any questions they may have at the initial consultation.
This approach enables us to create a custom, strategic plan that incorporates your personal and legal goals that aim to pursue a resolution to your legal concern.
Whether you or a loved one has experienced a personal injury, our skilled attorneys will advocate for the compensation you need to start recovering and work to hold the negligent party liable. If you are facing criminal charges, our lawyers will come to your defense. If you are struggling with a family law issue, such as divorce or child custody, we can help you. If you are a business owner and need help with subcontractor agreements, contract negotiation or litigation, we have the experience and drive to help you.
We also represent clients in estate planning, probate services, real estate law and immigration law.
Do I Need Legal Counsel?
People sometimes have questions about whether they need legal counsel or not because they need to attend a meeting at school involving their children or perhaps there is a neighborhood association meeting or an issue with the media. Our attorneys offer nearly 90 years of combined legal experience, which enables us to assist on general legal matters. So, consulting with one of our attorneys could save time, energy and resources in the long run.

Helping Kentucky Residents Get Results
$2.6 Million Dollars – Product Liability Claim
Evansville, Indiana – Our client was a house guest visiting friends. While sitting outside around a table, a tabletop fire place, fueled by rubbing alcohol, was being refilled. Upon the rubbing alcohol being poured into the tabletop fireplace, an explosion occurred causing serous burn injuries to client’s upper extremities and face. Case was based upon negligent warning and negligent design theories. Travis Holtrey and Lane Siesky were lead counsel on the case. Davin Shaw assisted.

What Our Clients Are Saying
“I knew Travis Holtrey from years of playing softball against him. When my mother was involved in a serious wreck, I called him and he dropped everything he was doing and came to sit with our family in the hospital. Travis kept us informed of every move he was making and explained it all so well. Travis and Tyler assembled a team of experts to quickly work on the case. The outcome of this case was far beyond our expectations, and we owe all that to Travis Holtrey and his team at FWH. The folks at FWH made us feel like there was no one more important than us.”
— J. Wedding – Owensboro, KY
“[We] are so thankful for your help last winter. You were there for us when we had no idea where to turn and we can’t begin to tell you what that meant. Thank you for your valuable direction, time, and most of all, compassion.”
— T. R. Seidehamel, Owensboro, Kentucky
“I came to Travis Holtrey just two days before my statute of limitations ran in a medical negligence case. They moved quickly to obtain ample information to file a lawsuit and to protect my claim involving an I.V. mishap that went undetected and caused permanent nerve damage to my right arm. Before speaking with this office, another attorney advised he could not assist me. Through Mr. Holtrey’s hard work, I was compensated fully (more than 20 times my medical bills) for the injuries I suffered. Even after the case settled, he continued to work with Medicare and another health insurance carrier to handle the reimbursement for medical bills. Now, I can prepare for my future and make modifications around my house to adapt to my injury.”
— R. Rogier, Grandview, IN
“Travis Holtrey took our very difficult medical malpractice case and never stopped believing. Travis’ honesty and hard work ultimately paid off and we were beyond happy with the outcome. No other local law firm would take our case. That did not prevent Travis from believing in us and our right to be compensated. We highly recommend Travis and the folks at FWH.”
— Jerry W.
