Note: Indiana Attorney ethical laws correctly forbid attorneys from flaunting their records in advertisements because such self-laudatory flaunting can mistakenly make a potential client believe that a particular result is guaranteed by past performance. However, if a client requests specific information about past cases including charges and verifiable case names, an attorney may, upon request, provide that information.

Attorney advertising is not the best method for selecting an attorney in most cases. Use advertising to acquaint you with the attorney and then make your individual judgment using a number of factors including but not limited to referrals, experience, and personal interview.
