Our Team

 

​

We believe in a team approach. We have learned through years of experience that a group will do a better job for you and result in more points of view, more creativity, and thus more options.  There is often no one single way to proceed.   Often there are budgetary consideration and constraints and we need to choose the best affordable choice.  Remember your success is our success.

Areas of Practice

Services Offered & Links

Providing legal services to clients throughout Michiana and the surrounding areas in Northern Indiana.

The types of cases we handle include:

  • Bankruptcy law — Is our bag! But we also handle cases involving A-Z legal services, such as:

  • Criminal law — Our firm takes all cases ranging from misdemeanors and disorderly persons offenses to murder. We fight vigorously on behalf of our clients.

  • DUI/OWI — Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol (DUI), known in Indiana as operating while intoxicated (OWI) can have serious penalties. Don’t let mistakes cost you your license or future.

  • Traffic violations — Repeat moving offenses can lead to serious fines and a suspended license. Our attorneys can fight your charges and keep your driving record clean.

  • Expungements and sealed records — An arrest record or dismissed charges can affect your chances of getting a job in the future, because either will show up in a background check. We can try to get your record expunged or sealed. Indiana also allows people to limit access to their prior convictions after enough time has passed. Speak with one of our attorneys to learn more.

  • Personal injury — Our firm handles all kinds of personal injury cases. If you have suffered a serious accident caused by someone else’s negligence and want to know more about your legal rights and options for recovery, we can help.

  • Auto accidents — Car crashes happen every day, often leaving victims with huge bills and difficulty getting to work. Many accident victims are entitled to compensation that they badly need. If you’ve been in an auto accident, we can help.

  • Slip and falls — Someone who slips, trips and falls on somebody else’s property and is injured because that property wasn’t properly maintained can sue to recover damages for injuries. However injuries that happen on other people’s property can result from more than just a simple fall: they can happen at construction sites, commercial centers, apartment buildings and elsewhere, and all may be the fault of the property owner.

  • Wrongful death — The actions of one person who result in the death of another are the basis for a wrongful death lawsuit, regardless of whether those actions were accidental or intentional. We work on behalf of your family or the estate to get a suitable recovery.

  • Mesothelioma, Workers Compensation, Medical Malpractice and Social Security Disability. 

  • Estate Planning, Wills and Trusts, Guardianships and Powers of Attorney.

  • Real Estate Transaction and Tax Sale Law.

  • Zoning and Planning.

  • All Injury and Accident cases, including Passenger, Pedestrian, Bus, Truck, Motorcycle, Boat, Train, Airplane, Bicycle, and Moped.
