Lawyer in Northwest Indiana
Extensive Experience and a Commitment to Personal Attention
At the office of Richard P.

I place a high priority on personal service and attention, making certain that you work directly with me at all times.

Contact me or call me at 219-263-0309 (toll-free at 866-535-4789) to schedule a private consultation.
Assessing Personal Bankruptcy and Your Alternatives
I work closely with individuals who are considering filing for protection under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 of the federal bankruptcy laws. I will carefully review your situation to determine if bankruptcy is your best alternative. If so, I will help you identify whether you should discharge your debts under Chapter 7 or reorganize your debt under Chapter 13. I will prepare and file all documents required throughout the process and will act as your representative in meetings with creditors, the bankruptcy trustee and the court. See my page on bankruptcy for more information.
Providing Comprehensive Counsel to Businesses
I represent small businesses and small business owners, handling business formation and providing support in transactional and litigation matters. I will prepare and file all documents required to set your business up in compliance with Indiana law. I will also help you negotiate and implement transactions for the purchase or sale of businesses, business property or real estate. To learn more, go to my page on business law.
Meeting Your Estate Planning Needs
I handle all matters related to the establishment and implementation of effective plans for the distribution of wealth or the care of minor children. I review and prepare all the documents necessary to put an estate plan in place, including simple wills, trusts, powers of attorney, living wills and advance medical directives. For additional information, see my trusts and estates page.
