Robert H. Cornett
I have practiced Social Security law for more than thirty years in Kentucky as well as many other states. I represented Social Security claimants in Breathitt County, KY from 1980-2000. Following that I moved to Georgetown, opened my law office and continued representing claimants from around the region.
In the past 46+ years I have gained an enormous amount of experience and knowledge in navigating the Social Security claims process. I have represented more than 10,000+ clients, helping them to understand the system and advising them based on their specific claim.

I represent individuals seeking Social Security Disability benefits at Cornett Law Office. Before joining the firm, I practiced law with Freshfields in Washington, D.C., where I represented clients in complex federal litigation and government investigations involving the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission. Prior to law school, I spent several years working in national security for the U.S. Department of Defense. I later earned my law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law, where I was a member of the Journal of Law & Politics and a fellow in the Program in Law and Public Service. I previously earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Kentucky. After several years in Washington, I returned to Kentucky and joined Cornett Law Office, where I now focus my practice on representing Social Security Disability claimants. I work directly with clients throughout the disability process, including developing the medical evidence supporting their claims and representing them at hearings before Social Security administrative law judges.Associations
