Marshall F. Kaufman III

Marshall was born and raised in Louisville, grew up in the Highlands and graduated from Atherton High School. He earned a BS from University of Tennessee in 1975, and his law degree from University of Louisville in 1978.

Marshall has represented injured clients for over 36 years. He is the son of a lawyer who also graduated from University of Louisville School of Law and a mother born and raised in Hazard, Kentucky. As a teenager, he started working summers in his father’s concrete company which was founded in Louisville in 1917. Working summers in the concrete business until his graduation from law school taught him the value of hard work and understanding the financial hardships his co-workers faced when suffering from illness or injury.

Upon graduation from the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law in 1978, he started his own law practice as a sole practitioner. He soon found himself mostly representing clients who had suffered injuries in automobile accidents. As time went on, his practice expanded to representing clients who had suffered serious injury or wrongful death of a family member in cases involving defective products, medical malpractice, automobile accidents, motorcycle accidents, trucking accidents, airplane accidents, electrocutions, construction accidents, and children injured in pedestrian crossing, bicycle, and dog bite accidents.

In 2001, Marshall was a founding member of this firm. Since that time, he has continued to fight for his clients to get them fully compensated for harms and losses caused by the negligence of others. He has recovered millions of dollars for the hundreds of clients he has successfully represented in the last 36 years. He has had recoveries exceeding $1,000,000 for clients injured in automobile, motorcycle, trucking, pedestrian, medical malpractice, electrocution, and airplane crash cases involving serious physical injury or wrongful death.

Marshall has been an AV-rated attorney by Martindale-Hubbell for over 15 years. This is the highest rating given by Martindale-Hubbell and this rating applies to both legal ability and ethics.

Mr. Kaufman has been named a Kentucky Super Lawyer from 2011 to 2015. He is a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. He has been a member of the Kentucky Academy of Trial Attorneys and the American Trial Lawyers Association for the last 35 years.

Mr. Kaufman has been married for 32 years to his wife, Denise, and has three sons, Marshall, Jimmy and Matt. He is proud that Jimmy and Matt are also graduates of the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law and have chosen to work with the firm. The Kaufman’s recently welcomed two daughters-in-law to the family, Katrina Neubauer Kaufman, married to Jimmy, and Janna Miller Kaufman married to Matthew. When he is not helping injured clients he likes to spend time with his family and two dogs. He also enjoys watching and attending college football and basketball games, and fishing at the family cabin.
