Expanding Our Team of Louisville, Ky Attorneys
Rob Astorino and I recognized the importance of a strong and dedicated team, so we initiated a recruitment drive to bring new talent into our firm. In May of 2023 we hired Eric Eberwine. Mr. Eberwine has proved to be a talented Louisville personal injury attorney. He understands car insurance claims and knows how to secure a top dollar in a car crash settlement. Additionally, Mr. Eberwine has been recognized in our law firm as a relentless slip and fall lawyer.
Stein Whatley Astorino, PLLC followed up on our successes in 2024 by hiring Kaitlin Astorino and making her part of the Louisville civil litigation team. She is a fine car accident lawyer. Additionally, she has become a recognized truck accident lawyer helping distinguish us as a top Louisville truck accident law firm.
The additions of Mr. Eberwine and Ms. Astorino have allowed Stein Whatley Astorino, PLLC to become an Indiana personal injury law firm. We are a valuable resource for Indiana injury victims needing:

Notable Case Victories
Rob, Matt, and I are proud of our team. We had a record year. We recovered millions of dollars for our clients in 2024. We had multiple seven figure settlements.
Our legal team has been at the forefront of several significant personal injury cases this year. One such case involved a complex truck accident in Northern Kentucky where an individual suffered a wrongful death. Through meticulous investigation and unwavering advocacy, my partner and experienced wrongful death attorney, Matt Stein, secured a substantial settlement for the grieving spouse and minor children. This outcome not only delivered justice for the family but also reinforced our commitment to holding negligent parties accountable.
In another noteworthy case, we represented a client injured in a Clarksville, IN truck accident lawsuit. The case presented numerous challenges, including severe injuries for our client and navigating intricate federal trucking regulations. Our Indiana truck accident attorney used expertise and dedication to reach a seven-figure truck accident settlement. The result ensured our client received the full and fair compensation necessary to secure her future well-being.
Community Engagement and Outreach
My partner, Rob Astorino, was elected to the Board of Governors for the Kentucky Justice Association (KJA) and began his term beginning in December of 2024 and will continue through 2025. Matt Stein and I are proud of Rob taking a leadership role within the KJA and helping to engage with other Kentucky personal injury lawyers.
The Commonwealth of Kentucky has a constitution for the protection of its citizens. Section 7 of the Bill of Rights expressed in the Kentucky Constitution embodies a long-standing Kentucky tradition that values the role of the jury in civil cases and protects a citizen’s right to jury trial. Juries provide a check against potential judicial abuses and ensure that legal outcomes reflect community standards around the state. We support outreach to educate Kentuckians about their rights and believe the jury system increases public trust in the judiciary and promotes a more democratic form of justice.
Educational Initiatives
Education is a cornerstone of our firm’s philosophy. Throughout the year, our Louisville personal injury attorneys have participated several continuing legal education seminars around the state and in Tennessee. Our attorneys have exceeded educational requirements by the state. Participating in the seminar with other top injury lawyers from around the country helps us stay up to date on trends that affect our clients.
Client Testimonials and Success Stories
Our clients’ trust and satisfaction are the ultimate measures of our success. Last year, we received numerous heartfelt testimonials from individuals and families we have assisted. One client shared:
“To say I was well taken care of is putting it mildly, Katelin & Angel our my girls! They took excellent care of me! So attentive to me in dealing with the whole situation. My reason for needing their service is because I was severely attacked by 2 pitbulls stayed in Caritas Hospital for 5 days…I am so thankful to GOD for them…pictures are very graphic so I won’t show, but I know they will take just as good care of you!”
Another client left the following Google review:
“I like to take the timeout to thank the Law Firm of Stein Whatley Astorino for their excellent work. When I was searching for a law firm to take my fraudulent contractual agreement case, everyone turned me down. I had a phone call with John Whatley, he took the timeout to listen to my story and he automatically said, don’t worry about it Jermaine, we got you covered. Within a few months, the Law Firm of Stein Whatley Astorino were able to provide outstanding results regarding my legal issues. Thanks again John, Rob, and the rest of law firm for believing in me when no one else would. May GOD continue to bless this law firm with abundance of winning results for their clients and community.”
Such feedback reinforces our commitment to providing compassionate and effective legal representation. We are honored to have made a positive impact on our clients’ lives and remain dedicated to advocating for those who have been wronged.
Technological Advancements and Accessibility
In an effort to enhance accessibility and streamline communication, we invested in upgrading our technological infrastructure. Our new client management system, launched in 2024, allows clients to securely communicate with their legal team and upload necessary documents. This innovation has improved efficiency and transparency, ensuring clients remain informed and engaged throughout the legal process.
Additionally, we revamped our website to provide a more user-friendly experience. The updated site features comprehensive information about our services, attorney profiles, and a regularly updated blog with articles on personal injury law, safety tips, and firm news.
