Top best Insurance Lawyers in ZIP 46410 | 19 available

Thank you for taking the time to review my profile information.  I am currently practicing in Northwest Indiana with my office in Merrillville.  I am licensed in Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin.  I have been in practice for over 11 years.  From 1999 to 2005, the majority of my practice focused on the defense of personal injury lawsuits.  In 2005 I started my own office where I still handle insurance defense cases, but I have expanded into handling plaintiff's personal injury, bankruptcy, divorces, corporate law, real estate, contracts, and probate.. My philosophy for representation of clients is simple.  I provide clients with the best legal representation possible, make myself available for all client inquiries, and educate and inform my clients about the entire process to ensure that they are comfortable with every stage of the representation.. Clients can rest assured that when they hire me, they will get to speak with me directly, work with me directly, and get my full attention.  Free initial consultations are available with flexible office consultations including evening and weekend appointments.  So if you have legal problems...DON'T GO AT IT ALONE!

I represent people who have been harmed or injured. I hope you never need my services; but if you are ever harmed because of the carelessness of another, I will work hard to represent your interests.. My practice predominately consists of representing people who have been harmed because of the negligence of another.  A topic that is especially important to me are defective products. Each year, millions of Americans hurt or killed by defective products. I take great pride in representing people and families who have been injured by unsafe products. While my primary goal is to make sure my client is fairly compensated for their loss, I also have a keen eye on making products safer. Throughout our nation's history, civil lawsuits have been a driving force in making products safer.. Closely related to defective products are harmful drugs (prescription and over-the-counter) that can shatter the lives of people and families. Nearly all drugs have some risk of harm; and we, as a society, accept that risk because of the great benefit we all receive from pharmaceuticals.  However, when drug companies know that their drug can or will cause harm and fail to inform the public and doctors of that risk, they must be held responsible for that conduct. I have recently had the honor of representing people harmed by the Fleet Phospho-Soda, Visicol and OsmoPrep, drugs which are used to prepare for a colonoscopy, but cause renal failure. Aftermuch litigation and an FDA announcement, the C.B. Fleet Company recalled its product.. In 1992, I graduated cum laude from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana with a B.S. in Economics. I received my law degree from Valparaiso University School of Law in 1995 where I graduated magna cum laude. While in law school, I was a Note Editor of the Valparaiso University Law Review and served on the Moot Court Society. I am admitted to practice in the State of Indiana, the United States Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit and the District Courts for the Northern and Southern Districts of Indiana. In 1998, I was admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States. I am also admitted to the United States District Court for the District of Colorado and have been admitted to practice on a specific case basis in other courts.. I was born in East Chicago, Indiana and graduated from Lake Central High School. Presently, I live in St. John, Indiana with my wife, two children and our Goldendoodles, Hershey and Mac. My family are avid soccer & Chicago Blackhawks fans.
