Prior to joining ELPO Law as senior counsel, she served as an associate attorney for Broderick & Davenport, PLLC and most recently as a staff attorney for Warren Circuit Family Court Judge David A. Lanphear. While primarily practicing in general civil litigation, Kate is enthusiastic about advocating for her clients and consistently delivering exceptional client service.
A Hart County, Kentucky native, Payton graduated from Western Kentucky University in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science.
