About

William Butler Jr, a trial lawyer in Louisville, Kentucky, shares his journey of becoming a successful courtroom advocate and his dedication to obtaining favorable outcomes for his clients.

William Butler Jr, a lawyer based in Louisville, Kentucky, discovered his passion for law after reading about renowned trial lawyers like Gerry Spence, Race Horse Haynes, and Melvin Belli. Despite already owning a successful business, he decided to sell it and pursue a legal career, enrolling in law school to hone his skills as a courtroom advocate.

Butler quickly realized that the art of trying a case effectively is not something that can be solely learned from textbooks. It requires hands-on experience in the courtroom to truly master the craft. Over the past 27 years, he has dedicated himself to becoming a seasoned trial lawyer, with his first jury trial resulting in an acquittal on a DUI case back in 1987.

Throughout his career, Butler has handled a wide range of cases in Federal Courts, from drug trafficking to Medicare fraud. While most cases are resolved through settlements, he believes that his clients receive more favorable offers because prosecutors are aware of his willingness to go to trial if necessary, backed by his skills and experience in securing positive outcomes.
