About Michael J. McMain

I am a member of The Academy of Northern Kentucky Collaborative Professionals — this is a group of lawyers who offer, as an alternative, the option for divorce clients to settle cases without court intervention. In an informal setting, couples are encouraged to take a mature, cooperative, non-combative approach. The couples and their attorneys agree to avoid litigation, thus creating an environment where all involved are committed to reaching an efficient, mutually agreeable settlement… out of the courtroom.

In addition, I have previously volunteered my time to the AIM Program (Attendance, Intervention, and Mediation) — a truancy diversion initiative (or Truancy Court) that was implemented on-site in three Boone County Schools. Each participating school selected 8 to 10 students in the 8 to 14 age range who are habitual truants or who are in the process of becoming habitual truants. I served as a “judge” who agreed to meet with the students and families on a weekly basis during the school year to discuss and monitor the problems that impact the truancy behavior. The AIM Program fostered positive attitudes towards school and increased the participation in school activities by both youth and parents. The Boone County AIM Program, of which I was a part, received the “Kentucky Child Now Destiny Award”. This award was given to recognize individuals and organizations who have made a significant impact on the future of Kentucky’s children and youth.

If you are interested in an experienced lawyer who has been trying cases for over 34 years, call me and allow me to help you through your legal issues with respect and compassion.

Testimonials

T.F.

I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Greg Erpenbeck for his prompt, professional service in representing my husband and me when we were injured in an automobile collision. Each and every time we had questions or concerns, he responded with patience and much needed reassurance in a very timely manner. He allowed us to concentrate on getting well without the stress of wondering how to handle all the insurance paperwork associated with our case. Greg’s knowledge of Kentucky law was essential in protecting our rights and reaching a settlement. Again, I can’t thank you enough for all of your help and support during this difficult time in our lives.

No one ever gets married thinking one day they will end up in divorce, but that is exactly where I found myself after 22 yrs. of marriage. My whole world as I knew it was about to change. For the first time in my life, I needed an attorney. Several of my friends and co-workers recommended Michael McMain with Busald Funk Zevely. From the moment I met Mike, I knew he was the attorney I wanted on my side. At all times Mike was very professional, responsive and pleasant to work with. While my case seemed like a simple one to me, we did encounter some delays from opposing counsel which might have, in less capable hands, resulted in a negative outcome. It didn’t take long to realize I had the best attorney. He always took the time to answer all of my questions and do his best to make...

This law firm has a reputation for getting things done right. So when I was hurt in a car wreck I took my case to Busald Funk Zevely. My lawyer was always available to me and he took the time to answer all of my questions throughout the case. When it came time to settle, we did it quickly and got all of the benefits available. I am very satisfied and will recommend this firm to my family and friends.

My mother (88) and father (87) were injured in an automobile accident. Dad suffered a brain injury and mother had some localized trauma. Both went to the hospital. Mom was immediately released and Dad remained in ICU for two additional days. This accident was unquestionably the responsibility of the driver who hit them in the rear. After trying six months with no success to reach a reasonable settlement with the other drivers insurance, we took a recommendation from an attorney we knew and hired Andy. It took over a year to get everything resolved, but Andy did an excellent job. The settlement we received was more than we anticipated, but the service we received was outstanding. Andy kept us updated, but he also showed us that he really cared about helping Mom and Dad to understand everything as it occurred. I can’t imagine finding an attorney who would have served...
