As my father's health declined, I began to realize that there were unresolved estate matters that…read morewould need to be addressed. After putting out some feelers to friends, four of those friends recommended calling Claire Lewis due to my specific circumstances. Lewis specializes in elder law and is one of Indiana's most recognized faces in the area. Her practice is on the westside of Indy not too far from Avon. She's won a slew of awards for her work and advocacy, though her practice is surprisingly low-key. It was one of my lawyer friend's recommendations that ultimately made me call Lewis - he indicated that she wasn't the cheapest (and she's not), but she's one of the best (she is). If there's a downside to her practice, it's that she tends to be booked out several weeks. She did have an "emergency" appointment available, though even that was a good month away. In my case, unfortunately, that meant that my father passed away before the appointment and my need went from estate planning to estate managing. My father had done just enough to make things doable and Claire has been a very matter-of-fact gem in getting the wheels in motion. So, what is elder law? Elder law includes estate planning, wills, guardianships, healthcare reps, trust establishments, family planning, planning for disability and/or competency issues, business planning, and more. It can seem basic, however, it's quite complicated and each state and each county within each state will have individual nuances. I've had two appointments with Claire. The first was more of a consultation as she looked over paperwork, determined where the process was at, and made some initial recommendations. She has both hourly rate tasks and flat-rate tasks (NOTE: I'm intentionally not discussing my own rates as I'm aware they can vary according to nuances of individual cases). Very early on, a recommendation she made cleared up an issue and resolved a significant matter. Quite honestly, her expertise paid for itself on day one. She's straightforward and matter-of-fact. She let me know my responsibilities in the journey, any risks, a variety of the possibilities, and even some of the nuances of my specific county. She dispelled some myths (in Indiana, much of this is done electronically rather than showing up to courthouses). As my journey had already started, she let me know what I'd done right intuitively and areas where I could have chosen better. Her office has accessible parking (2 spots) and a curb cut to the sidewalk. There's a double-glass door entry that is not automatic. There's a desk as you enter and typically the person will see you if help is needed. The conference room seemed to be accessible and decorated with a combo of professional (awards/degrees) and personal (family photos/military). I can sometimes be cheap, however, a good friend's recommendation led me to making the right choice here. We're already talking about planning my own estate once my family estate is resolved. No one wants to go through this experience, however, doing so in advance is guaranteed to lower stress when tragedy happens. While I wish my appointment had been earlier, thus far this has been a very positive experience and for those needing elder law expertise I would definitely recommend Claire Lewis.

The fact is that Bryan is a bulldog. He's smarter and more tenacious than pretty much anyone else in the room. He's the guy you want on your side. He will also put in the work to provide the best possible outcome for anyone he defends. He is upfront and honest about his fees ahead of time and he communicates through the whole process (he answers his own calls). There is no one else that I would recommend and if I were ever in the position to need a lawyer, there is absolutely no one else that I would trust. He's truly the best out there!!

He defended a man accused of confinement with a deadly weapon, intimidation, and felony battery. After the prosecutor was done with the questioning of the victim, Mr. Cook stood up and questioned her in a way I have never seen before. Not only was it very entertaining, it was compelling and really gave the jury the real story of what happened, Once Mr. Cook was done with the alleged victim, the judge abruptly stopped the trial and the case was dismissed. When I was leaving, I heard a juror talking to Mr. Cook and told him they all would have voted not guilty anyway. What a fun day in an Indianapolis court room....better than going to the movies.

I agreed to let my late wife's sister and husband have the children for a VERY SHORT time until I "got my act together". Well after multiple lies and excuses from the sister and husband, I secured my first-time "lawyer experience" with Kate Flood. I will say this however regarding family law in general. It will take longer than you want it to take. But the courts and the way the system is setup is all wrong, and we all know that. At times, you might feel that Kate is too busy to "get back with you", especially when you are going through the roller coaster of EMOTIONS that occurs. Especially when it has to do with YOUR CHILDREN. But trust me, as Kate is working very hard to get your children back, where they belong. Kate is truly a professional and will WORK FOR YOU, come hell or high water. She has now set the bar for me and my next attorney experience will be based upon her professionalism and my court experience. BTW, literally 1 year after I contacted Kate Flood, I had my children back where they belong. With their father. And back in their own home. I will wholeheartedly recommend Kate to ANYONE looking for a Family Law attorney...WHO WILL WIN. PERIOD.
