Why Dettman Law is Different

Dettman Law Practice Areas

I practice solely personal injury law all over Kentucky.  My office is located in the Highlands of Louisville.  Car crash, truck crash, and motorcycle crashes make up the bulk of my practice areas, but I also do slip and fall and catastrophic injury cases.  The next few blog posts concern what you need to know about the way I handle cases.  I am a deliberate, well-funded, trial lawyer and my clients get access to me personally.

Brian Dettman Is a Trial Lawyer

First and foremost I am a trial lawyer.  After graduating from the number one rated trial advocacy school in America I spent the first two and a half years of my career were spent honing trial skills as an Assistant State Attorney in West Palm Beach.  What this means is I understand the rules of evidence and jurors because I have tried cases to a jury.  I didn’t learn my skills in a seminar or deposition college.  Thrown to the wolves would be an appropriate analogy for my first two and a half years of practice.

I Am Not Afraid To Try A Case

This benefits my clients because I am not afraid to file a lawsuit and try the case.  Too often there are lawyers that take fast and cheap money.  When a lawyer won’t try a case or everyone knows they will take “last minute money” before trial the client suffers financially.  Imagine negotiating with another party you knew would eventually fold (PS. I litigate cases for other injury lawyers–it sounds self serving, but those lawyers know the value of litigation and hold clout with insurance companies in my estimation).  Doesn’t make sense, but too often we think lawyers are good lawyers because they end upon a billboard.  Give me the lawyer that spend a few years as a public defender over the career injury lawyer who knows the inside of a commercial studio, but hasn’t seen a courtroom.

The Most Civil Trials By Plaintiff Lawyer In Louisville

There is a gentleman in Kentucky that keeps track of all of the trials that have taken place in the past twenty-five years.  In that book there are plenty of great lawyers, but there are also plenty of “big name” lawyers who have tried a case or two.  Some haven’t tried any.  Last year in Louisville I tried more cases (4) than any civil plaintiffs lawyer.  All the lawyers you see on a billboard.  I tried more cases.
