Rob Goff’s father is an attorney who, he remembers, occasionally allowed Rob to “state his case” in familial arguments, giving Rob some experience with the subtleties of negotiation. These early debates provided Rob with some helpful legal strategies, even though the decision didn’t often go his way.
His recent graduation from the University of Kentucky Law School and affiliation with the firm of Denton & Keuler has, however, given him the confidence and the knowledge to see the law in a much broader sense.
Rob primarily concentrates on estate planning and corporate law. Spending quality time with his clients and going the distance with them, whether they’re at the beginning of their careers or near the end, underscores his daily professional life.

“I particularly enjoy working with clients to create and execute their professional and personal estate planning needs. In so many areas of the law, people only come to you when there’s already a problem or situation which needs to be resolved. Corporate and estate planning allows us to work towards preventing the problems in the first place. That can be a very rewarding experience and allows us to forge relationships that stem from very positive contacts with our clients.”
