Attorney Information
Overview
I was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky and still call it home. I raised my family here with my wife. After Graduating with Distinction from the University of Kentucky in 1993, I pursued a career outside of the law for several years. Yet, something about practicing law kept beckoning me, and after receiving a scholarship, I enrolled in the Brandeis School of Law at the University of Louisville. In 2003, I graduated Magna Cum Laude and ranked within the top five percent of my class.
After graduation, I spent 9 years representing insurance companies, defending medical malpractice, personal injury, and workers’ compensation cases. Despite working for insurance companies, I maintained a strong sense of empathy for people harmed by the negligence of others, and in 2012, I transitioned to representing their interests.
Now, I only represent individuals who have been harmed by the negligence or illegal actions of others. I have tried numerous cases to verdict and represented clients at hundreds of administrative hearings. Additionally, I have prevailed at all levels of Kentucky Appellate Courts and have several published cases to my name.
I currently focus my practice in the areas of personal injury, workers' compensation, medical malpractice, employment and discrimination law, and general civil litigation. I am admitted to practice law in all courts of the Commonwealth of Kentucky as well as U.S. District Court, Eastern and Western Districts of Kentucky.

Consulted Attorney 2012-2020Derek O'Bryan was my atorney three different times, and he won all three cases. Derek is one of Louisville's best attorneys. He is honest, hard working, very intelligent, and he's compassionate. Derek truly cares about his clients and their families. If you've been injured at work (Workers Compensation), having trouble with your job/employer (Discrimination), or maybe you were injured in some way (Personal Injury), I would call Derek first. He helped us, and I know Derek will help you too!

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
