Firm Information

With offices in Kentucky and Indiana, the banking and business lawyers at Morgan Pottinger McGarvey, provide a full range of legal services.   We offer real estate and corporate counsel services for small and medium businesses, lenders, banks, and finance companies. We combine the experience found in larger law firms with the level of service found in smaller law firms, offering cost-effective legal representation with the highest level of personal service and attention.

For business, banking and financial institution issues, our experience is unsurpassed. We have handled thousands of business issues, banking issues and individual matters on behalf of hundreds of clients since our inception in 1974. We have extensively lectured to attorneys and other professionals on numerous subjects, including banking laws, business laws, lender liability and Uniform Commercial Code. We also have authored numerous publications on a variety of legal and business topics.

Morgan Pottinger McGarvey's State and Local Tax (SALT) attorneys provide comprehensive experience in a variety of Kentucky SALT controversies.  We represent large and small businesses and individuals in complex SALT matters.   Our attorneys regularly represent clients before the Kentucky Department of Revenue, the Kentucky Claims Commission, and trial and appellate courts regarding property tax, sales and use tax, public service company tax, severance tax, and income tax.  We can assist and guide our clients through the entire tax process, from support on audit issues; representation and negotiations with taxing authorities; and litigation before administrative and judicial tribunals.

While we stand ready to litigate SALT issues, we recognize that, in many cases, litigation is not the best outcome for a taxpayer.  To that end, our attorneys have a great deal of experience in negotiating with taxing authorities to obtain the most favorable possible settlement for our clients.
