The initial consultation provides an opportunity for our legal team to understand your situation and for you to learn how we can help. We will discuss the details of your case, review any relevant documents and outline potential next steps.

To make the most of our time together, please gather all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence or court notices. It is also helpful to write down a summary of events and a list of any questions you may have.

As a full-service law firm, our attorneys practice in many distinct areas of law, including business law, family law, criminal defense and real estate. We are equipped to handle nearly any legal challenge you may face in Indiana.

The attorney-client privilege is foundational to a legal practice, safeguarding confidential communications between lawyers and their clients. It ensures all communications between you and your lawyer remain private and confidential. This lets you speak openly and honestly about your case without fear that your words will be used against you.

We are committed to maintaining open communication and will provide ongoing updates by phone, email or in-person meetings. Our attorneys are always available to answer your questions and address your concerns promptly.

The timeline for a legal matter can last from a few weeks to several years, depending on factors like case complexity, court schedules and the other party’s cooperation. We will provide you with a realistic timeline based on the specifics of your situation.

Many legal disputes are able to be resolved outside of the courtroom using negotiation, mediation or other settlement methods. We always explore these options first, but we are fully prepared to represent you in court if litigation becomes necessary.

Discovery is the formal pre-trial process where both sides exchange information and evidence relevant to the case. This may include written questions, requests for documents and depositions (sworn out-of-court testimony).

An uncontested divorce is one where both spouses agree on all major issues pertinent to the case, such as property division and child custody, making the process faster and less expensive. A contested divorce occurs when the spouses are unable to agree, requiring the court to intervene and make decisions.

When you and your spouse are unable to agree on a custody arrangement, the court will determine the outcome based on the “best interests of the child” standard. This requires assessing various factors, such as the child’s bond with each parent and their ability to adapt to their home and school environments.

Your lawyer acts as your advocate, advisor and representative throughout the entire legal process. We handle everything from filing paperwork and negotiating settlements to arguing your case in court, always protecting your best interests.
