I phoned Jim Desmond and he immediately answered my call. While my case was not that of bodily injury, he gave me guidance on how to resolve my claim. He took his valuable time and answered questions for me that assisted me in getting the results I was looking for in order to get done what I needed to get done to get to resolve. I greatly appreciated his time and his lawful perspective for my case. I know other big lawyers are out there, but, should I need assistance due to some unforeseen future event, Jim Desmond will be my absolute go to without a doubt. Louisville is fortunate to have such a personable attorney to assist with us, the little folks. Jim truly exemplifies that of a true hometown lawyer looking out on clients behalf, no his own. Thank You Jim and I will never hesitate to recommend or utilize your services should I have a need in the future. Thank You for what you do!

Jim Desmond is an outstanding injury lawyer. From the very first conversation, he was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about my case. He took the time to explain every step in a way that was easy to understand, and he always made sure I felt comfortable with the process. Jim kept me updated regularly, answered my questions quickly, and never made me feel like I was just another file on his desk.
What stood out most was how hard he fought to make sure I was treated fairly. He went above and beyond to make sure I got the help and resolution I needed after my accident. It’s rare to find someone who combines legal expertise with that much compassion and dedication. I would absolutely recommend Jim to anyone who needs an injury attorney you can trust to be on your side from start to finish.

I can not recommend Desmond Law Office, LLC highly enough. This is my second time using Desmond, and both experiences have been nothing short of outstanding. From the very beginning, he makes the entire process feel far less overwhelming. He takes his time to explain everything in a way that’s easy to understand, and he never makes you feel rushed or unsure. His communication is exceptional! If you have a question, he’s there with clear, reassuring answers. You can call (or text) him directly any time on his cellphone! You never have to go through an office/receptionist or worry about certain office hours.

What truly sets him apart is his genuine care for his clients. Desmond is incredibly friendly, calm, and helps to make even stressful situations more manageable. He even goes above and beyond by coming directly to you if needed, which shows his dedication and professionalism.

If you’re looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and deeply committed to your case, Desmond is absolutely the one you want on your side. I highly recommend him!!

Are You Getting the Legal Service You Deserve?

The law is a service business. After a car wreck, you might assume you're going to get better service from a bigger firm. That's not actually what matters. ... Being able to get answers directly from an experienced attorney should matter more. Are you getting the legal service you deserve?

Some people assume the attorney they see on the billboards or on the TV commercials, is actually the same one who is going to handle their case. Again, that's not always the case and you might not figure that out until after you've already hired that firm, but suddenly your attorney is someone completely different.

I've handled car wrecks and motorcycle accidents for over 25 years. When you call The Desmond Law Office, you're going to SPEAK DIRECTLY WITH ME. That's actually my cell phone number. I'll move quickly to get your police report from the accident and we'll be able to discuss your specific situation.

I'll provide you with the customer service you'd expect, because I'M HANDLING YOUR CASE, PERSONALLY. I'll provide status updates and answers to your questions (even on weekends). Shouldn't you expect that when you hire a personal injury attorney for your car wreck case? That's the DESMOND DIFFERENCE.

UNSURE WHAT TO DO AFTER A WRECK?
Take a few minutes and call me on my cell phone. I'll do my best to evaluate the immediate situation and help you to consider your next steps.

If you're not ready to speak directly to me, visit my website. I've uploaded many videos and pages to help you to begin to better understand your unique situation. But remember, I offer FREE CONSULTATIONS and you're not obligated to hire me, just because you called. Let's talk about your accident and make sure you have reliable information you can count on.

I live in Louisville, but I'm licensed to handle personal injury cases in all 120 counties of Kentucky. I have almost 30 years of experience helping people who have been in car wrecks and motorcycle wrecks. Customer service is a key factor in choosing an attorney.
