About Harold Dyche
Harold was born and raised in Laurel County, Kentucky, by his parents, Johnnie Ann Dyche and the late Fish Dyche. Fish Dyche, along with his brothers Bob and John, operated Dyche Drug Store, a family-owned business in London for over half a century. Fish served in the United States Navy during World War II, and was awarded two bronze stars, with valor, for his bravery under fire in his service in the medical corps.
Harold graduated from Laurel County High School in 1984, and attended the University of Kentucky, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science in 1988. While in college, Harold was a member of the University of Kentucky Wildcat Marching Band. Following graduation from college, he went to work for the Administrative Office of the Courts as a Pretrial Services Officer. Over the next seven and one-half years, Harold worked in district and circuit courts in thirteen different counties, primarily in southeastern Kentucky. As a pretrial officer, he worked as part of the court's support staff, gathering information on individuals who had been charged with crimes to assist judges in making bond decisions.
In 1996, Harold enrolled at Regent University Law School in Virginia Beach, Virginia. While there, he was included in Who's Who Among American Law Students, was a member of the Christian Legal Society, and was active in moot court competitions. He competed as a member of the moot court team representing Regent University at the Cardozo/BMI Entertainment and Communications Law Moot Court Competition in New York City.

Harold received his law degree from Regent University in 1999. More importantly, while in law school he met the woman who would later become his wife.
Following law school, Harold returned to London, the place he has always called home, to begin practicing law. For two and one-half years he worked as a staff attorney for Judge R.W. Dyche III on the Kentucky Court of Appeals. In this position, Harold became well-versed in many aspects of the law as he researched and prepared draft opinions in cases pending before the Court of Appeals. This behind-the-bench look at the court system gave Harold insight into the temperament and character required of a judge.

Harold was admitted to practice before the U.S. District Courts in the Eastern and Western Districts of Kentucky, and before the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Harold has tried numerous cases before juries in these counties, and has also served as a Special Assistant Attorney General in prosecuting an appeal to the Kentucky Court of Appeals.
