Hired Law firm 2024-2025If you or a loved one are seeking the top attorneys in the State of Indiana for family law matters, I highly recommend Brazil Hester. I have had the pleasure of working with Judy Hester, Lavonna Derringer, and Rich Hersberger, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the outset, this team distinguished themselves through their professionalism, knowledge, and attentiveness to my family's needs. Their expertise and dedication were evident in the way they handled my case, and I feel confident knowing I am and continue to be in the best hands. The team's communication was excellent, making themselves available day or night, even on weekends and holidays! The entire firm is experienced, dedicated, and compassionate, consistently advocating for the human side of the law. They took the time to explain every step of the process and ensured that I was comfortable and well-informed throughout. I highly recommend Brazil Hester to anyone in need of legal assistance. Their commitment to their clients and their exceptional service makes them the right team for you. I cannot thank Judy, Lavonna, and Rich enough – I appreciate your outstanding work, support, and commitment to me and my children! Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do.

Hired Law firm 2021-2022Judy, Rich, and Lavonna have been so incredibly helpful during what has been one of the most difficult times of my life. Judy has been available outside normal business hours when I have had time-sensitive issues occur. She has reached out to check on how I'm doing and how my kids are doing. Rich has walked me through information related to paperwork, filings, and questions I've had along the way. Lavonna kept me updated on issues related to a hearing and was patient with all of my additional follow up questions/comments. Judy has also reached out several times to give me pep talks to hang in there throughout the process. Her sense of humor, heart, and creative solutions reinforced I made the right choice going with Brazill Hester. They are truly compassionate advocates and I highly recommend them for any family law needs.

Hired Law firm 2007-2022I’ve had Judy (and Rich) representing me, as needed, for almost 15 years. They are always quick to respond with excellent advice and a helpful hand to navigate through complex legal issues. They care about their clients and are excellent at dealing with sensitive situations and negotiating with difficult people. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an attorney.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
