Michael McDonner is the President of Kentuckiana Court Reporters and Kentucky Court Reporters. He oversees a staff of over 300 court reporters, transcriptionists and legal videographers across the South. He is focused on new trends in litigation technology and was a sponsor of the Jefferson County Courtroom Upgrade Project in Louisville, KY that made the courtrooms there some of the most advanced in the country.

Before retiring from the practice of law, Mike worked in a wide range of litigation backgrounds. He handled medical malpractice defense cases, RICO litigation and appraiser litigation during the housing crises. He successfully defended an insurer from indemnification claims during Kentucky’s “Enron” litigation at the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals and handled numerous other personal injury claims. In short, he took a lot of depositions.

Mike has a particular interest in communication and persuasion. He was the first person to win back-to-back NFA National Collegiate Debate Championships and still holds the record for most national titles won. He also has five children who test and refocus his persuasion skills on a daily basis.
