Larry Forman is a distinguished attorney recognized as one of the Nation’s Top One Percent by the National Association of Distinguished Counsel since 2015. He has earned the prestigious SuperLawyers Rising Star Award annually since 2016 and has been honored as a Top Lawyer by both Louisville Magazine and TOPS Louisville Magazine numerous times. In 2019, he was inducted as a Life Member of the exclusive Trial Masters club and named an Associate Fellow of the Litigation Counsel of America, The Trial Lawyer Honorary Society, Order of Juris (having tried over 50 cases to verdict). Mr. Forman is also a member of the Trial Law Institute and Diversity Law Institute.
Mr. Forman is the founder of Forman & Associates Accident Injury Lawyers in Louisville, Kentucky, where he focuses his practice exclusively on personal injury law. He represents people hurt in car crashes, truck wrecks, motorcycle wrecks, dog bites, dram shop (liquor liability) cases, farm and agricultural equipment accidents and uninsured/underinsured motorist claims, as well as families pursuing traumatic brain injury and wrongful death claims across Kentucky.
Before focusing exclusively on personal injury, he spent 13 years as a criminal defense trial lawyer. Cross-examining police officers and experts, and taking apart crash reports, toxicology and video evidence, are the same skills an injury case needs. He prepares every case as if it may go to trial.
Mr. Forman is admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and the U.S. District Courts for the Western and Eastern Districts of Kentucky. Outside the courtroom, he judges mock trial and appellate argument competitions, and his YouTube channel on courtroom strategy and legal analysis has more than 500 million views.
Consultations are free, and you pay no attorney fee unless the firm recovers money for you. Call (502) 931-6788.

OVER PROMISES AND UNDER DELIVERS
In 2019, I hired Larry Forman based on his strong, online presence and almost 100, 5-star reviews. At my first meeting with Larry, without even looking at any of the evidence in my case, he said he could definitely win my case at trial. However, Larry never had any intention of taking my case to tr...
Dear Ms _________, I am sorry about the experience you have had with our firm 4 years ago. At the time, I had an associate who has since been fired for mishandling of clients' cases and has since been replaced. It doesn't sound like me to say that I could "definitely win [your] case at trial." -- I don't talk like that to my clients. I probably indicated that based on the information I had, you had good chances to win. Then, 6 months later, after we conducted a full investigation of the facts, I learned that your case was untriable and unwinnable, probably because, since you were operating a motor vehicle under the influence, the state would be able to prove that you actually did it and we didn't have many strong defenses. I am a man of worth -- and when I see that I cannot accomplish what you ask me to do -- win a completely unwinnable case -- I gave back all of your money and even did some free work for you, i.e. setting the bench warrant aside for your failure to come to court. I hope you were able to get your case resolved with a new attorney and I appreciate you leaving this feedback for others to see that we handle our cases very seriously, as most of what you wrote does not sound like me -- it sounds like you have a personal vendetta against me as a person, so I wish you nothing but love in return. God Bless you. Edit: I figured out who you were by digging in my records. Ms. ________, I refunded your money because I told you I could not win at trial. You ended up pleading guilty to the charge, taking it on appeal and losing the case, again, last year, on March 18, 2022. I did everything I could, and when I saw that you were an extremely unreasonable person, I fired you and refunded 100% of your money (because I did not need any more unreasonable behavior from you). We even continued to work for you free of charge, on multiple occasions, as you were looking for a new attorney to replace us. I see that nothing is enough for you, and I also see that you like to leave 1 star reviews, as evidenced by your Google profile. I wish you nothing but the best and good luck in your life endeavors.
