The Gold Standard For Legal Representation

Trial attorneys defending the rights of those facing serious criminal charges.
Schedule Your Free Consultation

“Lawyers are not fungible, and often the most important decision a defendant makes in shaping his defense is the selection of an attorney.” – Indiana Court of Appeals

Defending Those Charged With Crimes In The Region And Across Indiana

Trial Attorneys Providing Aggressive Representation Against Serious Criminal Charges

Many lawyers say they represent those facing criminal charges yet have little to no trial experience. At The Region Lawyers, our attorneys are never afraid to stand up and fight for our clients in the courtroom. Founding attorney Russell W. Brown Jr. is experienced in defending clients in jury trials at all levels.

A thorough legal strategy to counter the opposition is critical when facing a criminal trial. We analyze all factors of the case from the start and share our plan with you, so you are fully aware at every stage. We also prioritize continued education to identify and utilize new trial strategies and techniques. Our firm is renowned within our community, including among judges and prosecutors.

More Than A Decade Of Experience In State And Federal Courts

Not only are our lawyers experienced in the courtroom at the state level – we also have critical experience at the federal level. When you face the most serious of criminal charges, including murder, drug crimes, sex crimes or white collar crimes, you need to know that your attorney has experience with federal courts and understands how the system works. These criminal charges are often backed by significant periods of investigation by high-profile law enforcement agencies. Attorney Brown has the federal court experience you need when facing such high stakes.
