Nolia Batey O'Dea

The Short Version

For the last ten years, I’ve helped clients through some of the hardest moments of their lives. Car accidents, trucking wrecks, motorcycle wrecks, and catastrophic injuries. These are the cases where people need someone who’ll fight for them and treat them like family. If you’ve been hurt, you can call or text my work cell anytime: 502-518-3731.

Before I became an attorney, I spent seven years as a paralegal. That experience changed everything about how I practice law. I learned how to support injured clients, manage complex files, and fight insurance companies from the inside out. By the time I got to law school, I already knew what it looked like when a case was handled well.

A lot of my clients stay in touch long after their case is over. Over the last decade, many of them have been friends and family of past clients, or folks referred to me by someone who knows me personally. That’s the ultimate compliment, and I think it says a lot about the experience I want every client to have. That matters to me more than anything on a resume.

Background

During law school, I worked in-house with Churchill Downs, Inc. in their legal and compliance department, and later with the IRS Small Business/Self-Employed Division. Those experiences gave me an inside look at regulatory compliance, investigations, and how large institutions operate. It’s knowledge I still use every day when I’m going up against an insurance company.

What I Do

Personal Injury

This is the heart of my practice. Catastrophic injury cases, car accidents, trucking accidents, and motorcycle accidents. The cases where someone got hurt and the insurance company is already working against them.

I’ve been fighting insurance companies since my paralegal days, so I know their playbook. Kentucky has its own rules. We’re a no-fault state with PIP insurance requirements, a comparative negligence system, and statutes of limitation that vary depending on the type of case. I work inside these rules every single day.

Uncontested Divorce

If you and your spouse have already agreed on the terms of your divorce, I can make sure the paperwork is prepared correctly and take care of filing it for you. I usually handle uncontested divorces for a flat fee, and the amount depends on how complex things are.

If the case becomes contested at any point, we’ll need to talk about moving forward on an hourly basis.

Community and Pro Bono Work

I currently serve as Chair of a Citizen Foster Care Review Board, where community members review foster care cases to make sure children in the system don’t fall through the cracks. I dedicate significant time to pro bono work for both organizations and individuals. I’ve stayed actively involved with the Kentucky Bar Association since the start of my career, and I’m a member of the Kentucky Justice Association.

Education

Outside the Office

I love traveling, playing pickleball, gardening, and spending time with my spouse (and law partner) Tim O’Dea and our two rescue dogs, Ozzy and Chop. They make every part of life a little brighter.
