A shake up in the local legal community is afoot.
Following the announcement that Circuit Judge Jeffrey Burdette is retiring as of March 16 comes news that Commonwealthâs Attorney Eddy Montgomery has already retired.
Montgomeryâs tenure as the lead prosecutor for the 28th Judicial Circuit ended last week, on February 28 after nearly 23 years. He was first appointed in August 1998 to serve as Commonwealthâs Attorney for Pulaski, Lincoln and Rockcastle counties before winning election to the post in 2000.
Prior to that, Montgomery served in the United States Air Force as a JAG (Judge Advocate General) officer from 1990 to 1994 before joining the Kentucky Retirement Systems. He came home to Somerset as an Assistant Commonwealthâs Attorney in January 1996. In all, heâs been in public service for 30 years.
