Ted Walton

I have been fighting for individuals and small businesses since 1999. During law school I worked for one of the leading local personal injury firms handling asbestos and major injury cases. In 1999 I joined the public defender's office and gained immediate jury trial experience in major felony cases. Before opening my own firm in 2010 I was a senior litigator with a well-respected mid-sized firm in Louisville handling major cases including major personal injury, employment, and commercial cases.

I have real litigation and trial experience. Since joining my current partners I primarily represent individuals in personal injury and employment claims, but over my career I have defended major companies and small businesses in similar litigation. Having handled cases from both perspectives I am better able to evaluate cases and serve my clients' interest.

My strengths are persistence, depth of knowledge, and personal attention to my clients.

Personal interests:

I am interested in work and family. As a trial lawyer and the father of two adorable young boys there isn't much time for much else.
