R Branham Chandler

I’m an associate attorney at Garmer & Prather, PLLC, where I represent plaintiffs who have experienced serious personal injuries. My practice includes cases involving medical negligence, semi-truck accidents, defective products, and more. My commitment to public service drives me to use my legal skills to help the firm pursue justice for our clients. I earned my law degree from the University of Kentucky J. David Rosenberg College of Law in 2024. During my time there, I was honored with the Best Oral Argument award in Legal Research and Writing. I also gained valuable experience interning for the Kentucky Justice Cabinet, Fayette District Judge Lindsey Hughes Thurston, and the Fayette Commonwealth’s Attorney. After law school, I served as a Staff Attorney for Judge Phillip Shepherd of the Franklin Circuit Court in Frankfort, Kentucky, for one year. I am admitted to practice in all state courts across the Commonwealth of Kentucky and am a member of both the Kentucky Bar Association and the Kentucky Justice Association. Before law school, I completed my undergraduate studies at Centre College, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in politics. While at Centre, I was actively involved in campus life as a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity and the Centre College Democrats, serving on the executive committee for both organizations. My summers were spent working as a counselor at Burnamwood Camp and Conference Center and interning in the United Kingdom Parliament. I grew up in Versailles, where I currently live with my fiancée. I’m the son of Ben Chandler, a former Congressman and Kentucky Attorney General, and Jennifer Chandler. Being raised in a family deeply rooted in politics and government taught me the importance of making service to others a central part of my work. My family’s legacy continues to inspire me every day.
