About Stockwell & Smedley PSC

Stockwell & Smedley, PSC is a Lexington, Kentucky law firm that has served clients since 1992 and reports 74 years of combined legal experience across its team. Its practice centers on intellectual property, with patent prosecution, trademark, and copyright protection listed as core services, and it extends into estate planning, franchise law, and corporate and business planning. That combination suits inventors, entrepreneurs, and business owners who need both an IP strategy and the surrounding contracts, entity formation, and succession documents that protect an enterprise over time.

Estate planning work covers wills, trusts, living wills, powers of attorney, and related tax and probate matters. On the franchise side, the firm describes representing individuals and businesses in preparing legal documents, filing and renewing registrations, and litigation. Corporate consultations address entity organization for businesses of varying sizes. The firm frames its positioning as global experience with local service, and its own site notes an emphasis on protecting assets in the digital age, whether virtual or physical.

The office sits at 861 Corporate Drive, Suite 200, in Lexington, with weekday hours from 9am to 6pm, a main phone line, a fax line, and a newsletter signup for periodic firm news. Prospective clients can reach the firm by phone or through the website’s contact page.

Across the six public reviews available, the strongest recurring signal is communication quality. Reviewers describe thorough, clear, and concise explanations during initial calls, including one prospective client who had already contacted other trademark-focused offices and chose this firm based on how the consultation was handled. Responsiveness appears repeatedly, with clients noting prompt replies to calls and inquiries, and attorney Christopher Smedley is named in multiple reviews for his counsel on business matters and a delicate commercial situation. Powers of attorney and trademark research also appear in the feedback.

That four-star review also notes the client had to research whether the firm was still in business before returning with a new design to trademark, which points to a modest public visibility gap rather than a service complaint. Clients describe clear, thorough explanations at trademark consultations and prompt responses to phone inquiries. A returning client also describes checking whether the firm was operating before bringing additional work.
