The People Behind
Kentucky Asset
Protection

Kentucky Asset Protection is a small Bardstown firm, and that is deliberate. When you call our office, you speak with the people who will actually work on your matter — the same faces you see here.

We help families across Nelson County and central Kentucky with estate planning, elder law and Medicaid planning. Your first consultation is free, and it is a conversation rather than a sales pitch: we will listen, explain your options in plain language, and tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.

S. Thomas Hamilton

Attorney S. Thomas Hamilton leads Kentucky Asset Protection, the elder law and asset protection practice of Thomas Hamilton, PSC. A Kentucky native, Thomas earned his bachelor’s degree from Transylvania University in 2006, where he studied Political Science and Spanish, before going on to earn his Juris Doctor from the University of Kentucky College of Law in 2010. He was admitted to the Kentucky Bar in 2011 and has practiced in the Commonwealth ever since.

Thomas began his legal career in the courtroom, serving as an Assistant Commonwealth Attorney for the 10th Judicial Circuit, where he prosecuted felony cases across Nelson, Hart, and LaRue Counties. That trial experience continues to shape how he approaches planning today: he builds estate and elder law plans designed to hold up if they are ever challenged, not simply to look complete on paper. Clients who come to him with a dispute already brewing benefit from an attorney who has spent real time in a courtroom.

Today Thomas focuses his practice on elder law, estate planning, Medicaid planning, and asset protection. He is a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), ElderCounsel, and the Academy of Special Needs Planners (ASNP), organizations that keep him current in a field where the rules change often. He also stays active in the Bardstown community, including through the Kiwanis Club of Bardstown.

What clients tend to remember, though, isn’t the résumé — it’s the way he explains things. Thomas has a talent for taking genuinely complicated law and making it understandable, so families can make confident decisions instead of anxious guesses. He and his family are proud to call the Bardstown area home, and that local connection shows in the way he treats the people he serves.
