Bill Oldham’s career began in 1986 after graduating from Davidson College with a degree in English. He then served as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army, spending four years stationed in Germany. During that time, he served as an Aide-de-Camp to a Brigadier General and witnessed the historic fall of the Berlin Wall—an experience that shaped his perspective in lasting ways.

In 1990, Bill transitioned into law, enrolling at the Louis D. Brandeis School of Law at the University of Louisville. While earning his J.D., he interned for Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Boyce Martin, gaining valuable insight into the judicial system. After passing the bar in 1993, he joined Middleton Reutlinger, where he rose to equity director and focused his practice on health care litigation, particularly defending nursing homes.

Over the next 26 years, Bill became known as a tenacious trial attorney, handling high-stakes cases across Kentucky. He developed a deep understanding of the state’s legal landscape, building strong relationships and a trusted reputation among clients and peers.

In 2020, Bill founded Oldham Law with a clear vision: to offer outstanding legal representation and unmatched responsiveness to nursing home management and caregivers. With decades of experience behind him, he continues to raise the standard for client-focused legal service.
