Our History

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.
