He knows the judges, the tendencies of opposing counsel, and the specific procedures of every courtroom he walks into. When you hire Jeff Hensley, you get Jeff Hensley — not a first-year associate, not a paralegal, and not a case number.
Over the past 35+ years, Jeff has built a practice rooted in personal accountability and direct client relationships. He has argued cases in Boyd, Greenup, Carter, Lawrence, Lewis, Rowan, and Fayette counties — as well as in workers compensation and Social Security administrative hearings across the state. His firm has secured six-figure verdicts and settlements for clients across multiple practice areas and multiple counties.
Jeff is supported by two paralegals with a combined 50 years of experience at the firm — both of whom are known throughout the region for their knowledge, care, and dedication to clients. One holds a real estate license alongside Jeff, adding yet another layer of service available to Hensley Law clients.
Outside the office, Jeff remains active in the community — coaching youth baseball and basketball, maintaining his involvement with Bridges Christian Church, and staying connected to the people and places that make northeast Kentucky home.
