Izzo joined Landrum & Shouse in its Lexington office in 2011, where she continues to represent both plaintiffs and defendants in matters including civil rights, labor & employment law, workers’ compensation, and personal injury, among other areas, at both the trial and appellate levels. In 2014, she responded to the call from the Fayette District Court Judges, seeking help from the local bar to voluntarily mediate cases on their Small Claims docket, which she has continued to do every month since then.
As an Arbitrator, Izzo continues to serve parties by hearing and deciding case disputes often involving nursing home/medical negligence, bad faith, elder abuse and neglect/exploitation, criminal abuse, endangering the welfare of an incompetent person, and wrongful death.- Kentuckians want to know that they have a court they can trust to protect their fundamental Constitutional rights. As a law and order conservative, I will be a Supreme Court Justice who applies the law equally, protects our freedoms and imposes justice fairly.
- Judges serve an important role in our judicial system, but on the Kentucky Supreme Court, we’re electing a Justice, not a judge. Judges only know what attorneys want them to know about a case. Kentuckians have insisted that their Supreme Court Justices have extensive prior litigation experience to ensure that their Justices fully understand the effect of their decisions. I am the only candidate with that experience -- 19 years of real-world experience litigating complex cases from trials through appeals -- and I am the only veteran appellate lawyer on the ballot.
- Through my 8 years of experience as an Arbitrator, I have heard and decided complex cases involving catastrophic injury and death for Kentuckians across the Commonwealth. The people have and continue to trust my decisions, knowing that I will hear the evidence and interpret and apply the law justly and fairly.
I have also been named as Best Lawyers in America for 2022-2025 - Insurance.
