Meet Our Team!

This spotlight is on Real Estate Paralegal, Sonja Skibinski.

Sonja first began working in the title department in 1997. After stepping away for a few years following the birth of her son, she returned to Denton Law Firm in December 2024 for Round Two, and we’re certainly glad to have her back!

When asked what her favorite part of the job is, Sonja’s said, "I love that I am blessed to work with a great bunch of people", and we all feel the same way about working with Sonja! Since Sonja is our title examiner, her second favorite part of her job is researching old records in courthouses throughout Western Kentucky. To her, real estate is more than just property. “Real estate is research. Real estate is history. It’s where people raise families, build businesses, and make memories.”

Outside of the office, Sonja enjoys being at home with her husband, Ray, and spending time with their adult children when they’re home. She also loves curling up on the couch with her mini dachshund, Lucy, a good book, and a cup of coffee.

Sonja's advice when it comes to buying real estate? “Buying real estate is like buying a car. You shouldn’t buy either one without getting them checked out first.”

We’re lucky to have Sonja on our team and we greatly appreciate the experience and knowledge she brings to our Title Department!

We are so proud to have Macy on our team!

Meet Our Team!

This spotlight is on Residential Real Estate Legal Assistant, Macy Gruber.

Macy joined Denton Law Firm in July of 2024, and has quickly become a valued part of our team. She began by assisting the Real Estate Department with our order opening and processing, and her role quickly expanded to include running title exams.

When asked what she enjoys most about her job, Macy said, “No two files are alike. Each comes with its own unique challenges and obstacles that keep me on my toes, encourage me to think critically, and motivate me to continue growing and improving in my role."

Outside of the office, Macy enjoys spending time with her nieces and nephews, traveling to New York City, going to the movies, and writing.

When it comes to real estate, Macy knows there’s much more to a transaction than buying and selling property. She says that it's about helping people achieve their goals and build their futures. Every property has a history, every transaction tells a story, and every closing brings new opportunities.

Her advice to buyers? Never judge a property by its curb appeal! What’s hiding in the title might surprise you. ALWAYS get a title examination, and in Macy’s opinion, title insurance is a must. After all, the only thing you should inherit with your new property is the deed, not someone else’s problems!

If you'd like to speak with Macy regarding your residential real estate needs, give her a call at (270) 450-8253!

BBQ On The River did not disappoint!

A few of our Denton Law Firm team members headed out for the first day of BBQ On The River and had a great lunch! For some, it’s an annual tradition, while for others, it was their first time. We’re sure that it won’t be their last though!

Good food, good company, and a great cause!

We were proud to sponsor the Mercy Health Foundation Golf Outing and support such a worthwhile cause in our community!

This year’s outing helped raise an incredible $60,000 to support the important work of the Mercy Health Foundation.

Representing Denton Law Firm on the course were Dylan Thurman, Adam Butler, Alex Blackwell, and Dalton Bagwell.

Thank you to Mercy Health Foundation for hosting another great event. We look forward to being back on the green next year!

Battle of the Barristers is a trivia night where local law firms compete for the championship title—and bragging rights for the year! Best of all, 100% of the proceeds benefit United Way of Western Kentucky.

Denton Law Firm came very close to taking the title this year but was edged out once again! We are proud of our battling team: Kathan Watson, John McNeill III, Alex Blackwell, Alyssia Smith, Hannah Simpson, and Alexis Gaia.

A great time was had by all, but the real victory was raising funds for United Way and helping those in our community who need assistance. Great job, team! ⚖️🏆
