Kenneth G. Doane Jr. is an experienced personal injury attorney serving clients throughout Southern Indiana and the Louisville metropolitan area. For more than 25 years, Ken has represented individuals and families who have suffered serious injuries due to the negligence of others. He handles every aspect of a case, from initial investigation and settlement negotiations through jury trial and appeal when necessary.
Ken has tried more than 30 cases to jury and brings a unique perspective to personal injury litigation. During the first half of his legal career, he represented insurance companies and their policyholders in Indiana, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania.
