Criminal Defense & Estate Planning Specialist
Dedicated legal professional serving Western Kentucky
Houston Harvey's roots were planted in the small city of Benton, found within deep Western Kentucky. After graduating from Marshall County High School in 2017, Houston secured his Bachelor's degree at the University of Kentucky in 2021. Upon graduation, he successfully earned his Juris Doctor from Chase College of Law in 2024.
Houston was admitted to the Kentucky Bar Association in 2024. In his first year of practice, Houston chose to jump headfirst into the courtroom with the Kentucky Department of Public Advocacy in the Murray Trial office. Throughout his first year, Houston was tasked with handling the vast majority of Marshall County's criminal dockets - something not typical for recent graduates. This allowed him to gain a wealth of knowledge in regard to felony, misdemeanor, and traffic offenses of all kinds by zealously advocating for his clients. Houston joined Hooks Law Firm, PLLC in January of 2026.
Houston is an active member of the legal community in western Kentucky, most notably in Marshall County. He has spent countless hours advocating for individuals inside the courtroom, both adult and children, who need it most.
Outside the courtroom, Houston enjoys anything sports – especially when it involves the Kentucky Wildcats. When available, he enjoys volunteering with Special Olympics. Houston is an active member of his local church and has a strong relationship with Jesus Christ. It brings him tremendous joy to help bring others to know Him.
As an emerging attorney, Houston is guided by a commitment to integrity, diligence, and principled advocacy. He believes the practice of law is ultimately a service profession—one rooted in the pursuit of justice, the protection of individual rights, and the thoughtful resolution of complex challenges. His philosophy centers on three core values: Ethical Excellence, Client-Centered Advocacy, and Thorough Preparation and Strategy.
