Patrick Smith

I am a licensed attorney in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. I practice in the fields of personal injury, birth injury, medical malpractice, and a wide array of other civil litigation matters.

I am a lifelong resident of Louisville. I graduated from St. Xavier High School in 2006 with honors. In 2010, I earned my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Louisville in Political Science with a minor in Economics and graduated summa cum laude. While attending the University of Louisville, I was active in the Honors Program and as a Harlan Scholar. I was also the 2009 recipient of the Louis C. Kesselman Award in Political Science and the 2010 recipient of the Jean and Eleanor O’Sullivan Award in Political Science.

Upon completion of my undergraduate studies, I chose to attend the Brandeis School of Law at the University of Louisville. I  served as both a member of and as an Articles Editor for the University of Louisville Law Review. Additionally, I was invited to join the Brandeis Society. During my third year of law school, I was selected to serve as a pupil in the 2012-2013 Louis D. Brandeis Inn of Court. I graduated cum laude from the law school in 2013.

During my second year of law school, I began working for Larry Franklin, one of Kentucky’s most prominent plaintiffs’ attorneys, as a law clerk. Upon graduation from law school in 2013, I accepted a position with Mr. Franklin and was admitted to the Kentucky Bar.

I am a member of the Kentucky Justice Association, American Association for Justice, Kentucky Bar Association, Louisville Bar Association, and the American Bar Association. In my spare time I enjoy playing sports, reading, and spending time with my family and friends.
