Trial Lawyer | Co-Founder – Dixie Law Group

Justin May is a trial lawyer who represents people whose lives have been changed by serious injuries. He co-founded Dixie Law Group with the belief that when someone is hurt because of another person's negligence, they deserve someone willing to stand up to insurance companies — and take the case to trial if necessary.

Justin was born and raised in Fleming County, Kentucky. After earning his B.A. in Government and Master of Public Administration from Morehead State University, he earned his law degree from Saint Louis University School of Law, where he served as President of the Student Bar Association.

In 2015, Justin and Brian Weber founded Dixie Law Group with a simple mission: fight for injured people the same way they would fight for their own family.

Justin focuses his practice on serious injury cases including car crashes, trucking collisions, traumatic brain injuries, and bad-faith insurance claims.

When Insurance Companies Say a Case Isn't Worth Much

Justin prepares every case as if it may need to go to trial. When insurance companies refuse to be fair, he is willing to let a jury decide.

Some recent jury verdicts include:

Traumatic Brain Injury Case

Insurance Company Offer: $50,000

Jury Verdict: $1,000,000

Truck Collision Case

Client suffered tinnitus and vertigo after the crash

Insurance Company Offer: $150,000

Jury Verdict: $616,000

Underinsured Motorist Case

Insurance Company Offer: $25,000

Jury Verdict: $313,740

Justin also obtained one of the very few jury verdicts in the country during the COVID-19 pandemic, when most courts had stopped trying cases entirely.

In addition to these verdicts, Justin has helped resolve numerous serious injury cases referred by other attorneys throughout the region. Many of these cases involve catastrophic injuries and are resolved confidentially.
