Attorney Samuel Killian was born and raised in Minocqua, Wisconsin. Prior to law school, Sam attended St. Norbert College in De Pere, WI, where he received his Bachelor of Arts as an English major in May 2020. Following his graduation from St. Norbert, he went on to earn his law degree from Marquette University Law School in May 2023.
Prior to working as an attorney at PKSD, Sam had a wide array of experiences throughout his legal education. Before beginning law school, Sam worked as a legal intern at the Brown County District Attorney’s office where he mainly assisted the District Attorney in criminal appeals cases. During his time at Marquette Law School, Sam served as a law clerk here at PKSD from June 2021 to May 2023. While serving in this role, he assisted and collaborated with PKSD attorneys on a variety of personal injury matters. At Marquette, he was a mentor in the Marquette Law Mentorship Program. He was also inducted into the Pro Bono Society as a result of his commitment to helping provide free legal advice through the Marquette Volunteer Legal Clinic to individuals who could not afford legal counsel.
Sam joined the PKSD family as an attorney in May 2023 and specializes in personal injury cases such as auto accidents, dog bites, and premise liability. As an attorney, Sam is committed to providing passionate and knowledgeable representation for his clients.
Sam lives in Mequon. When he is not in the office, he enjoys rooting for all the Wisconsin sports teams, staying active (i.e., golfing, running, travelling), reading, or spending time with his family and friends.
Get to Know Sam
I have been passionate about my favorite sports and teams my entire life. Now I am passionate about being a part of the PKSD team and helping our clients.
I started my career defending insurance companies, but quickly realized my heart was in helping real people – not corporations. Now, I’m proud to fight for the little guy every day.
PKSD was great to work with after I had been in a car accident. They were incredibly thorough, patient, and understanding through the whole process! Sam Killian handled my case and kept me up to date every step of the way. He worked to negotiate my final settlement and was transparent about timelines and total amounts. Great, clear communication! Definitely would recommend! They make it a breeze.
