Summerfield Dandurand Law Group, LLP, the firm behind Custom Law, is positioning itself as a comprehensive legal resource for individuals facing criminal charges and divorce in Indiana and Illinois. With offices in Noblesville, Indiana, serving Hamilton County; Anderson, Indiana, serving Madison County; and Lake Bluff, Illinois, serving Lake County and Cook County, the firm handles cases ranging from misdemeanors such as operating while intoxicated, public intoxication, theft, disorderly conduct, and simple battery to major felonies including murder, rape, child molestation, robbery, and burglary.
The firm's approach emphasizes trial preparation from the outset, regardless of whether a case resolves before a hearing or proceeds to a jury. This matters because criminal charges can have immediate and lasting consequences for employment, reputation, and family relationships. As Founding Partner and CEO Robert Summerfield noted, "A criminal charge can cost you your job, your reputation, and your family's trust before you ever set foot in a courtroom. In a divorce, the fear is losing your kids, your money, or your home. We're straight with our clients about what's at stake, and we prepare every case for trial from day one."
For readers in Hamilton County, the firm's Noblesville office is located at 215 South 10th Street, a detail easily found via Google Maps. The firm's criminal defense practice covers the full range of charges, and its attorneys bring significant trial experience. Summerfield has practiced law in Indiana for more than a decade, with experience as both a defense attorney and a prosecutor in Hamilton and Madison counties. Partner and COO Nicholas Dandurand previously served as a deputy prosecutor in Hamilton County and is a registered domestic relations mediator with the Indiana courts.
Beyond criminal defense, the firm represents individuals in divorce proceedings, including matters of child custody, parenting time, property division, and spousal maintenance in Indiana. Its Lake Bluff, Illinois office provides business law services, including mergers, civil litigation, and personal injury representation. The firm offers in-office consultations and represents personal injury clients on a contingency basis, with no fees unless a recovery is obtained.
The announcement underscores a growing demand for legal services that address interconnected personal and professional challenges. For readers facing criminal charges or family law disputes, the firm's multi-office presence and trial-focused philosophy may offer a local option for representation. For the legal industry, the firm's expansion across state lines and its emphasis on trial readiness reflect a broader trend of regional firms positioning themselves as full-service practices capable of handling high-stakes matters. As Summerfield summarized, the firm aims to be direct with clients about what is at stake and to prepare every case as if it will go to trial.
