Firm Profile
Over 43 Years combined experience in
Admiralty and Maritime Law.
Gault & Box, PLLC's roots trace back to 1990 when Spivey Gault, a partner in a Greenville, Mississippi based law firm, moved to Paducah, Kentucky and opened a branch office of that firm, primarily in response to a growing number of inland river towing and towing related companies locating in the Paducah area. Over the next twenty years, the firm expanded into numerous other practice areas including general defense litigation, complex commercial litigation, and maritime and non-maritime commercial transactions.
The Law Firm of Gault & Box is located in Paducah,
Kentucky,
the heart of America's navigable inland waterways.
A Preeminent Law Firm
In 1999, Mr. Gault withdrew from the Greenville firm and formed what is now the present firm. In 2005, Mr. Edward K. Box joined the firm, bringing experience with him in a broad range of civil and criminal matters including areas such as FELA and Asbestosis defense. Since its formation, the firm has received the highest peer review ratings from Martindale-Hubbell for legal abilities and general ethical standards ("AV") and has been listed in Martindale-Hubbell's Register of Preeminent Law Firms. In 2007 and 2010, Mr. Gault was selected by his peers for inclusion as one of the Kentucky Super Lawyers in the area of Admiralty/Transportation Law, an honor that is limited to the top 5% of attorneys in Kentucky.
With a total of 48 years combined legal experience, G & B attorneys have actively litigated cases in Kentucky, Mississippi, Arkansas, Florida, Texas, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee and West Virginia.
Accessible, Responsive and Effective

They can be contacted during normal business hours at 270.442.1900 or toll free at 1.877.442.8247 or by email. During non-business hours, they may be reached through a 24-hour answering service at the firm's main number - 270.442.1900.
While G & B attorneys are trial lawyers, they also believe that litigation is only one of many ways to resolve problems and encourage active client involvement in the litigation process to identify goals and potential strategies to reach those goals in a timely and economically efficient manner. They also believe that, in many cases, the normal litigation process is not an efficient way of resolving a problem and, where appropriate, encourage the use of early issue focused discovery, mediation and other alternative dispute resolution procedures at the earliest feasible stage.
