Brian Dettman

Brian Dettman is one of the most recognized personal injury trial attorneys in Louisville, Kentucky, and the founder of Dettman Law. He has tried 57 cases through verdict and handled thousands of Kentucky personal injury matters, recovering millions of dollars for injured clients. A former felony prosecutor, Brian brings the rigorous trial preparation and courtroom confidence of the public sector to his plaintiff-side practice.

His work covers the full range of injury litigation — car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, wrongful death, product liability, slip and fall, catastrophic injury, medical malpractice, insurance bad faith, and consumer rights cases. He earned his law degree from Stetson University College of Law, where he was a member of the law review, dean's list, and honor roll, and his undergraduate degree in Political Science from Johns Hopkins University. He is licensed in both Kentucky and Florida.

Beyond the courtroom, Brian has visited 63 countries and lived in South Africa, Australia, and aboard the M.V. Explorer — bringing a broad worldview to a practice centered on integrity, hard work, and standing up for the people he represents. He is a husband and father of five and remains active in Louisville sports leagues when he is not preparing for trial.
