About CohenMalad, LLP: Protecting Your Rights in Indianapolis and Beyond

For over 55 years, CohenMalad, LLP has been a cornerstone of the legal community in Indianapolis and across Indiana. Established in 1968 by former Indiana Attorney General John J. Dillon, Louis F. Cohen, and other respected legal professionals, our firm is grounded in a rich history, unwavering integrity, and a deep-seated commitment to advocating for our clients.

We firmly believe that access to strong legal representation is a fundamental right. Our team of over 30 highly skilled attorneys brings a wealth of combined experience to each case, offering personalized attention and unwavering support to clients across a wide range of legal matters.

We offer our services for cases that range from complex personal injury claims and medical malpractice lawsuits to difficult business disputes and sensitive family law matters.

A History of Success

With a long track record of achieving positive outcomes for our clients, our firm has more than earned our reputation for excellence.

We are seasoned and tenacious litigators, fully prepared to defend our clients' rights in court when necessary. However, we also recognize that alternative dispute resolution methods, such as negotiation and mediation, often lead to efficient and cost-effective solutions, and we turn to these methods whenever possible.
