My Philosophy
My mission is to help you avoid and solve legal problems effectively and efficiently. The firm has the experience to provide that service to you and a support staff to help you and me toward that end. I want to maintain a personal “small firm” approach to serving my clients.
I am accessible and responsive. I will work hard to find creative solutions to fulfill your immediate and long term goals. I know that my clients’ needs are often best served by avoiding litigation, but at the same time I will zealously protect your interests if a lawsuit is necessary.
I recognize that if you come to me with a problem it is important to you and it will be important to me. I will act promptly and responsibly in your best interests.
History of the Firm
John M. McIlroy Sr. began the practice of law in Bowling Green in 1946 when he became associated in that practice with United States Senator Edward V. Long. The partnership of Long and McIlroy was dissolved in 1952 when Senator Long ceased the practice of law to devote himself exclusively to politics.
James Millan joined Mr. McIlroy in the practice in 1955 establishing the firm of McIlroy and Millan. William C. McIlroy joined the firm in 1965. John M. McIlroy Jr. joined the firm in 1968 and became “Of Counsel” with the firm upon his retirement in 2005.
Malaine P. Hagemeier joined the firm in 2003. James D. Burlison joined the firm in 1997 and retired from the firm in 2019. The firm has been located at 220 West Church Street in Bowling Green since 1946. With the death of William C. McIlroy in 2024, Melaine P. Hagemeier formed McIlroy and Millan, LLC, and is the sole attorney affiliated with the firm.
