About James
James N. O’Toole is a founding member of Smith & O’Toole, PLLC. He has served as a trusted legal advisor for business owners and individuals since 1995 with clients ranging from individuals, to small mom and pop shops to $800M conglomerates. Mr. O'Toole has successfully represented businesses and individuals in the following areas of law:
Business acquisition, formation, and divestment;
Commercial litigation;
Commission disputes - for employer or sales representative;
Employee disputes - wrongful termination and discrimination;
Supplier negotiations, collections, and contract disputes;

All family law disputes (divorce, custody, support, etc.); and
Criminal defense at both the misdemeanor and felony level;
Mr. O'Toole prides himself on taking the time to fully understand his client’s needs and formulating an effective plan to accomplish his client’s goals.
Mr. O’Toole honed his craft in the highly competitive Detroit Metropolitan legal market from his first days as an attorney. He has provided legal counsel to individuals and businesses alike. He moved to Kentucky in 2008 as in house counsel for a large manufacturing conglomerate and now works in private practice with his partner, Dan Smith at Smith & O'Toole, PLLC.
Mr. O’Toole has a well-rounded understanding of the diverse needs of people and businesses alike. The common thread in all legal matters is that the attorney needs to take the time to listen and understand the clients problem. Only after fully understanding the problem can a good attorney apply the facts and circumstances of that case to the law and find a solution.
Mr. O’Toole has learned that this technique works in all facets of the law - from divorce to felony defense, from commercial litigation to commission disputes. Keeping an open mind, listening, and learning from the client produces the best results for that client.
Mr. O’Toole has utilized this approach to providing exceptional legal counsel with clients ranging from the local waitress or bank teller to the $800,000,000 conglomerate.
