Stephen S. Burchett is a Member in the Health Care industry group, focusing primarily on health care litigation and medical malpractice. He practices out of the Firm’s office in Lexington, Kentucky.
As the son of a small-town surgeon, perhaps it was only a matter of time before Stephen became involved in medicine. He is widely regarded as one of the leading trial attorneys in the arena of medical malpractice defense, having tried more than 50 cases to verdict in notoriously plaintiff-friendly venues in Appalachia with remarkable success. Stephen and his excellent litigation support team defend clients throughout our region in cases involving high exposure, multiple litigants, and complex medicine. Stephen is further committed to representing the business interests of his medical clients and preserving their hard-earned reputations. In an effort to protect quality medical care inside and outside of the courtroom, he also works extensively with state licensing boards, credentialing bodies, and in defending criminal prosecutions.
In his spare time, Stephen enjoys spending time with his family. He and his wife, Jennie, like spending time outdoors and cooking great meals.
