Sam Aguiar is the founding attorney and CEO of Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers, one of Kentucky’s most recognized personal injury firms. Since founding the firm, Sam has represented more than 15,000 Kentuckians, securing dozens of seven- and eight-figure recoveries and building a practice defined by innovation, accountability, and relentless client advocacy.
His commitment to going after the wrongfully injured, challenging the status quo, and giving back has made him one of the most respected plaintiffs’ attorneys in Kentucky and beyond.
How the Firm Was Built
Sam built this firm because he saw what was broken in personal injury law: bloated caseloads, rising fee percentages when cases went to court, and clients who felt like a number. He designed every part of this firm to fix that.
The result is the Bigger Share Guarantee® — a flat 35% contingency fee that never increases, even in litigation. Every client gets a dedicated team of three: an attorney, a case manager, and a legal assistant. And Sam stays involved in the day-to-day client experience, whether it’s stopping by the lobby to greet a client, reviewing a case strategy, or making sure a family gets their questions answered on a Saturday morning.
Community
Sam believes deeply that being a good attorney and being a good neighbor are the same thing. That has included delivering 7,000 pounds of flood relief supplies to Eastern Kentucky, mobilizing both offices to provide Christmas gifts for 60 children at Chrysalis House in Lexington, and partnering with local organizations on disaster relief, underprivileged youth initiatives, and disadvantaged communities — with contributions totaling millions of dollars.
Personal
Outside the office, Sam values quality time with his family above all else. He’s a tennis player, a sports enthusiast, and a passionate mentor. The same energy that drives his work for clients drives his work in the community.
