Facing Criminal Charges in Indiana? Start Building Your Defense Now.
An arrest is not a conviction. The State still has the burden of proving every element of the charge beyond a reasonable doubt. The earlier a defense attorney becomes involved, the sooner counsel can preserve evidence, identify weaknesses in the accusation, protect you during questioning, and begin preparing a strategy.
Attorney Mark Nicholson handles the firm's criminal cases and represents clients in matters involving:
-
Felonies and misdemeanors
-
Murder and other violent-crime allegations
-
Battery and domestic battery
-
Sex crimes
-
Gun and firearm charges
-
Drug offenses
-
OVWI/DUI
-
Protective orders related to criminal accusations
-
Post-conviction relief
-
Expungements and specialized driving privileges
Every case is different. The defense may involve mistaken identity, unreliable witnesses, self-defense, an unlawful search, an involuntary statement, missing evidence, flawed forensic testing, or the State's inability to meet its burden. We examine what the evidence proves—not merely what the police report claims.

In the video trailer below, a popular TV show interviewed me as a criminal defense legal expert on a murder case.
Here's what matters from the video trailer below: This case blew up worldwide, and everyone wanted my client to be found guilty. But I fought the case and got it DISMISSED for my client!
If you're facing charges and everyone's already decided you're guilty, you need an aggressive defense that hits back harder.
Legal Representation When You Have Been Injured or Your Rights Were Violated
Civil Rights and Police Misconduct
The Constitution limits government power. When law-enforcement officers use excessive force, make an unlawful arrest, engage in racial profiling, or otherwise violate a person's civil rights, accountability matters.
Our firm evaluates civil-rights claims involving:
-
Excessive force
-
Unlawful arrest or detention
-
Police misconduct
-
Racial profiling
-
Other constitutional violations
Deadlines can be short, particularly when a government agency may be involved. Contact an attorney promptly so important evidence and potential claims can be evaluated.

Personal Injury
If another person or company caused your injuries through negligence, you may be entitled to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other legally recognized losses. We represent clients in car-crash, dangerous-property, dog-bite, and other injury matters.
Do not assume the insurance company will fairly value your claim. Its interests are not the same as yours.

Revenge Porn, Intimate-Image Abuse, and Defamation
