About Us
Marla R. Thomas, Attorney at Law
I have worked very hard for twenty plus years to be a good reflection of what an attorney should be. I work hard for my clients with an eye toward obtaining good and just results. This has not always meant winning every case, but it has always meant being honest with my clients, the courts, and opposing counsel. I treat people as I would hope they would treat me if our roles were reversed. I have appeared before judges in courts all over the State of Indiana. No attorney can claim to have won every argument that they have made, however I always fight to achieve the best results for every client.
While my primary practice has been criminal defense, I have experience in many areas of civil practice as well. I have represented parties in dissolution matters, child custody and support matters, bankruptcy, small claims, property transactions and disputes, collections, and business/partnership dissolution. I research issues thoroughly, no matter what the topic. I pride myself on being able to negotiate successful resolutions to many of the thousands of cases that I have handled in my career, without a trial, by being open and honest with my clients at all times. I strongly believe that building this open, honest, and understanding relationship with my clients and opposing counsel early on improves the outcome for everyone involved.
