Larry Forman is a distinguished attorney recognized as one of the Nation’s Top One Percent by the National Association of Distinguished Counsel since 2015. He has earned the prestigious SuperLawyers Rising Star Award annually since 2016 and has been honored as a Top Lawyer by both Louisville Magazine and TOPS Louisville Magazine numerous times. In 2019, he was inducted as a Life Member of the exclusive Trial Masters club and named an Associate Fellow of the Litigation Counsel of America, The Trial Lawyer Honorary Society, Order of Juris (having tried over 50 cases to verdict). Mr. Forman is also a member of the Trial Law Institute and Diversity Law Institute, and has served as the Kentucky State Delegate for the prestigious National College for DUI Defense for many years.
Having built a formidable foundation in criminal defense—where he and his team successfully had nearly 400 DUI charges amended or dismissed before or during trial—Mr. Forman has powerfully pivoted his aggressive courtroom strategies toward civil litigation. Now known prominently for his civil practice, he focuses his practice exclusively on personal injury law. He brings the same relentless, tactically superior approach that secured numerous criminal acquittals to maximizing verdicts and settlements for victims of car accidents and severe injuries. To maintain absolute strategic dominance over insurance companies and opposing counsel, he actively expands his firm with specialized personnel, including dedicated senior pre-litigation personal injury paralegals, ensuring meticulous, high-level advocacy from the moment a case is accepted.
Mr. Forman’s deep understanding of high-stakes litigation stems from years of working alongside judges, prosecutors, and other defense attorneys, giving him a comprehensive perspective on the legal battlefield. By dedicating his firm entirely to personal injury and car crash cases, he approaches every lawsuit with an ironclad commitment to dictating the terms of engagement. He embodies Sun Tzu’s principle that a strong defense requires a powerful offense, striking hard against negligent parties rather than merely mitigating his clients’ losses.
Beyond the courtroom, Mr. Forman is deeply engaged in his community. He frequently judges Mock Trial and Appellate Argument Competitions, including the National Mock Trial High School Competition, the Law School First-Year Oral Argument Competition, and the Pirtle-Washer Oral Advocacy Competition. He has delivered presentations on handling police encounters to organizations like the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) and the National Association of Women in Construction. In 2023 and 2025, he spoke at the Annual DUI Symposium in Savannah, Georgia, sharing insights on effective cross-examination of police officers and expert witnesses.
Mr. Forman is also a dynamic content creator, running a popular YouTube channel which has garnered over 500,000,000 views. Additionally, he serves as an independent legal journalist and has provided courtroom coverage of major trials, including Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard, the Trial of the Murder of Kristin Smart, the first Danny Masterson trial, the second Harvey Weinstein trial, North Carolina v. Alec Murdaugh, both Karen Read trials in Massachusetts, and New Mexico v. Alec Baldwin.
In his free time, Mr. Forman enjoys spending time with his fiancée, Chandler, their two cats, Guylian and Zinnia, rock climbing, and watching movies.
