Update 2019!
Still going strong!
After nearly five years, kurtscharfenbergerreview.com is still here, still bringing truth to good people who’ve been wronged in the work place, and those who’ve been on the verge of making the detrimental mistake of hiring one of the biggest scumbags in Louisville.
In short; DON’T DO IT! Read my story and learn what a catastrophic error in judgment I made five years ago. Don’t be fooled by fabricated Google reviews that are clearly tailored to sway you from the truth. The facts are right here, and have been, since 2014.
I’ve gotten emails from dozens of people who were either on the verge of hiring Kurt, or worse, had already done so and experienced the same absurd treatment as I did. My efforts here have successfully intervened in several cases and pointed various folks to much more competent attorneys who are far better-suited/educated to handle your serious business.
I even reached out to Rick Pitino a couple years ago when he filed a lawsuit against the University of Louisville for breach of contract when I noticed Kurt Scharfenberger’s name as one of his legal counsels, urging him to take a few moments to read about the crooked liar he hired.
It appears that advice went unheeded…

How’s that lawsuit going, Coach?
“(The Judge) seemed skeptical of the three-pronged argument, interrupting multiple times to ask Pitino attorneys Steve Pence and Kurt Scharfenberger to clarify points or provide examples of legal precedent.”
“‘Can you point me to a case that has done what you’re suggesting?’ the judge pressed. At the time, Pence could not.”

UPDATE: September 2019!
“The two sides reached a settlement over Pitino’s $40 million breach of contract lawsuit. The university will change the departure designation in the former coach’s personnel file to consider it a resignation, they said in a joint statement. Pitino, 67, will not receive any money.”

“Today I move on to a new chapter in my life,” Pitino said. “Against my lawyer’s advice I’m dropping my lawsuit with ULAA.”

Well…. isn’t that a shame? Let me guess, Rick; Kurt and his good buddy Steve promised you things that just weren’t possible with this legal proceeding? But, the kicker… have a look at the screenshot below;
This is from Kurt’s website (no surprise the domain is unsecure). He has pulled a photo (taken by Michael Clevenger), or a poor screenshot of said photo seen in the Courier-Journal article linked above, of himself with Rick Pitino on the day the lawsuit was dropped. He’s using Rick’s likeness and some grifter monologue to sell himself as a star attorney… from a case he FAILED TO WIN. This is beyond comedic and just one more of the many examples I’ve shared on why you should avoid this conman in every facet.
Folks… always do your research. Make an educated hire. Not one based on a search engine result, a couple manufactured reviews, or one of the most asinine snake-oil pitches I’ve ever seen. Unlawful termination is a very real illegal practice that shouldn’t be allowed to go unaccounted for. When your family and household have been rocked by an unscrupulous employer, take them to the fullest extent of the law and get the justice you deserve. The most important step in getting the ball rolling is hiring a good attorney who will fight for your rights. Kurt Scharfenberger has proven to me and many others he is NOT the man for the job. Don’t make the mistake I (and poor Rick) made.
Be well, everyone.
