About Sean
Biography
Super Lawyers Kentucky Rising Stars Personal Injury Attorney. National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40 Civil Plaintiff Attorney.
Sean Tillman is a native of Louisville, Kentucky and a second generation attorney. He has spent the majority of his legal career devoting his practice to representing those who have been injured by the reckless and negligent actions of others. Sean started handling personal injury cases after being involved in a serious car accident himself a few years ago. Sean quickly saw how difficult it is to have to deal with insurance companies about paying for your damaged vehicle and medical bills. He has seen the chaos that ensues when you are seriously injured and forced to miss work and other life events. He knows about the psychological and emotional damages that injured victims go through and how it affects relationships with family and friends.
Sean has "walked in the shoes" of other injured people and that gives him a unique perspective when relating to his clients and when dealing with insurance companies and/or defense attorney's.
Sean has built a reputation for being respectful, charismatic, and honest, but at the same time, aggressive and unwilling to compromise. Sean personally handles every single aspect of his clients cases and that is the key difference between him and other attorney's. Sean has settled several million dollars in settlement recoveries for his clients. He will not back down until he gets the results that his clients want and deserve.

Excellent
I have been very pleased with Mr. Tillman. I have experienced great communication with him. I was surprised with this as it seems with most people you do not get quick responses or they are hard to get a hold of. This was never the case. Mr. Tillman is very professional and stayed on top of the case....
