About Kevin Butler · Orlando Trial Attorney
Kevin Butler.Trial attorney. Army officer.
Kevin Butler represents people who have been seriously injured, and families who have lost someone, because a driver, a company, a property owner or a healthcare provider did not do what they were supposed to do. He has practiced on the injured person's side since he was admitted to The Florida Bar and has never represented an insurance company. Kevin Butler is a Florida trial lawyer and a Major in the Florida Army National Guard, and he brings that same discipline to every case. Hablamos español.
Education and early practice
Kevin earned his law degree from Florida A&M University College of Law in 2015. Before law school he earned an MBA and a bachelor's degree from the University of Central Florida, and he has lived and worked in Central Florida for most of his adult life.
He opened The Law Office of Kevin Butler in January 2016 and built it on automobile negligence, trip and fall, premises liability, trucking, wrongful death and medical malpractice cases. During that time he became a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and was named a Super Lawyers Rising Star in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
Medical malpractice at scale
In 2023 Kevin joined one of the largest injury firms in the country as a senior attorney in its medical malpractice litigation group, where he managed a docket of 30 to 40 active medical negligence cases and brought eight complex cases to trial in under three years. Medical malpractice is among the most difficult and expensive litigation a plaintiff's lawyer can take on. Kevin learned it at scale, against the hospital systems and defense firms that handle these cases every day.
In September 2026 he reopened his own firm, The Law Office of Kevin Butler, PLLC, to bring that experience back to a practice where every client works directly with him.
Results
Kevin has resolved medical malpractice, automobile negligence and premises liability cases for settlements reaching seven figures, and he served on the trial team that obtained a $27 million medical malpractice verdict. Many of his settlements are confidential, which is why amounts are not listed here.
Every case is different, and past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future matter.
Service
Kevin has served in the Florida Army National Guard since 2011 and currently holds the rank of Major, serving as a Brigade Logistics Officer responsible for planning and executing logistics for a brigade-sized element. The Army taught him how to run a complex operation with discipline and no wasted motion, which is how he runs a case.

One lawyer. Your case, start to finish.
At a large firm, your file can pass through a dozen hands before anyone who will stand in front of a jury reads it.

Served on the trial team that obtained it.
Resolved in 2021.
Brought to trial in under three years.
The lawyer you hire is the lawyer who handles your case to the finish.
Kevin has spent his career on one side of the courtroom: the injured person's side. He has never represented an insurance company. He founded his firm in 2016 and built it on car crash, premises and wrongful death cases, then spent more than three years as a senior medical malpractice litigation attorney at one of the largest injury firms in the country, trying complex cases before Florida juries. In 2026 he returned to his own practice to give clients what large firms cannot: direct access to the lawyer handling their case.
Every case is different. Past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome.
Clients say the same things again and again: he calls back, he explains every step, and he treats them like family. Here is what they wrote, in their own words.
"Kevin kept me calm, advised me every step of the way to the greatest possible outcome."
"He treated me like a 'million dollar client.' He returned every phone call, settled the claim within an appropriate time frame."
"Kevin is an awesome attorney. He has integrity and genuine concern for his clients."
"Kevin was treating me as part of his family making sure everything was done correctly."
"He answered all of my questions very quickly with little to no wait at all."
