McCready Law has hired Kellie Clark as an associate attorney in the firm's Indianapolis office, expanding its personal injury litigation team in Indiana. Clark represents individuals and families in personal injury cases and handles matters involving children, schools, institutional abuse, sexual assault, premises liability and animal attacks. She also brings a defense-side foundation from early in her career and has tried cases to verdict, including a federal jury trial.
This addition is significant for Indiana residents seeking legal representation after life-altering injuries. Clark's specific focus on protecting vulnerable populations—including children and victims of institutional abuse or sexual assault—addresses a critical need for specialized legal advocacy in these complex and sensitive areas. Her background provides a strategic advantage, as understanding defense tactics can lead to more effective litigation strategies for plaintiffs.
"Kellie is a trial lawyer who understands what clients carry into these cases and what it takes to move them forward," said Michael McCready, founder and managing partner of McCready Law. "Her background in high-stakes litigation and focus on protecting vulnerable people will strengthen our work in Indiana." The firm's expansion with an attorney of Clark's caliber indicates a growing demand for experienced personal injury representation in the state and enhances access to justice for those who might otherwise struggle to find qualified counsel for specific injury types.
Clark has been recognized by Indiana Super Lawyers (2023–2026), The National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40, and was previously named an Indiana Rising Star from 2017 to 2020. These accolades signal a proven track record that clients can rely upon when facing difficult legal battles. Clark is a member of the Indiana State Bar Association, the American Bar Association and the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association.
"People come to a personal injury lawyer after something has changed their lives. It's my mission to take on the legal fight and fight for the case in court when that's what justice requires," Clark said. This statement underscores the personal commitment required in this field, where legal outcomes directly affect clients' recovery and future wellbeing. For the industry, hiring attorneys with both trial experience and a client-centered philosophy raises the standard of practice.
Clark earned her Juris Doctor, cum laude, from the University of Dayton School of Law. While in law school, she served as Chief Justice of the Moot Court and worked as a staff writer for the University of Dayton Law Review. She also received honors tied to academics, intellectual property and pro bono work, including the Brother Raymond Fitz Student Leader for Justice Award. This educational foundation supports her litigation capabilities and dedication to service.
Clark will be based at McCready Law's Indianapolis office. The firm, founded in 1999, handles all fields of personal injury law and has recovered more than $300 million for clients.
