Auto accident suit

Brian Dettman did an excellent job on my case. After a rollover accident and a substandard offer from the at fault driver's insurance company, Mr Dettman managed the claim seamlessly!

Posted by Kathy | May 19, 2015 | Personal Injury

Understanding. Awesome. Personable.

I went to Mr. Dettman to sue my own insurance company for withholding my PIP. He not only was able to get me back into therapy, he was able to get my PIP check for me. Mr. Dettman took a look at the accident report and advised I had a case to sue other person involved, this after two other local ...Louisville attorneys turn me down because they said it was a he said she said case of who had the red light in the accident, with no witnesses. Mr. Dettman and his polite, reachable staff took all the worry and allowed me just to worry about recovery. I highly recommend this law firm. I only wish I had called him from the very beginning. I am still amazed at the communication with him and his staff. Phone calls and emails answered within just a few hours, no matter the time of day or night!!!

Not only my "go to" lawyer, but also a friend

Brian is a fierce litigator that gets amazing results for his clients. He goes above and beyond the call of duty, and truly adapts to take on each case, based on each individual clients' desired outcome. As a former city prosecutor, Brian is very comfortable in the court room (where it really count...s) and understands the nuances of even the most complicated of personal injury cases. What sets Brian apart from other attorneys is his personal approach to the handling of each clients' case. He makes sure to understand where each respective client is coming from, and be sensitive to their individualized needs and wants, so as to produce the best outcome possible. On top of all this, Brian is a great guy. I have known him for almost 13 years, and I am proud to not only call him a colleague, but also a friend.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
