here’s no one more qualified to select the best legal expertise available than a lawyer. So, when a lawyer looks for legal representation of their client, their selection of a law firm speaks volumes. This is why the lawyers at Parr Richey Frandsen Patterson Kruse LLP cherish their relationships with referring lawyers throughout the state of Indiana. “Our cases primarily come from referrals made by other lawyers,” says Tony Patterson, partner. “They trust us to do right by their clients when the legal representation needs to go beyond the scope of their normal practice.” Founded over a hundred years ago, the law firm’s personal injury attorneys have been leaders in personal injury litigation for the past 50 years. Their work ranges from wrongful death claims, brain and spinal cord injuries, and product defects to claims arising from truck or car accidents. The partners don’t view any case as “too small” to warrant their attention. “Our lawyers have collectively tried hundreds of cases,” says Paul Kruse, partner. “It doesn’t matter if the settlement is in the tens of thousands or there’s a verdict for millions of dollars—the needs of every client are important.” This multi-generation firm works as a team, bringing their experience to every case. Whether the outcome is a settlement or a trial, Parr Richey attorneys strive to provide clients with the essential resources and expertise they need. Kruse refers to their law practice as “old school—we’re the lawyers’ lawyers” and notes that several high-profile cases started with referrals. A recent $18,500,000 jury verdict obtained by Patterson on behalf of a semi-truck accident victim originated from another lawyer. And the firm was selected by other victims’ attorneys to take a leading role in litigating the injury and wrongful death claims resulting from the Sugarland Band Stage collapse at the Indiana State Fair. The firm has offices in Indianapolis and Lebanon and maintains working relationships in nearly every county in the state. This makes it possible to understand and successfully work in almost every community, which is a point of pride. “Each of our lawyers grew up in a small community, learning from an early age that hard work and relationships are critical to good outcomes,” says Patterson. “We strive to apply these principles in our daily practice of law.” Professional accolades underscore the success of the firm’s approach. These include an AV® rating by Martindale-Hubbell®, their ranking as a Tier 1 firm in Indiana for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs by U.S. News – Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” in 2018, and inclusion in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum®, Indiana Super Lawyers®, Top 50 Lawyers Indiana Super Lawyers®, Rising Stars Super Lawyers®, and The National Trial Lawyers: Top 100 Trial Lawyers (Indiana).

IN THE HEADLINES Beckman Lawson: Patrick Hess (land use and zoning law; real estate law, 2013) represented the developers of Evergreen Village, a new three-story development in Fort Wayne. The 125-unit building will service low-income seniors who are eligible for Medicare. During a commissioners meeting about the development, a representative for Evergreen told commissioners and concerned neighbors that the proposed housing project would meet a need for an underserved part of their community.
►
Cohen & Malad: Richard Shevitz (mass tort litigation / class actions – plaintiffs, 2013) represented Bloomington and Monroe County in 2017 when the county filed a lawsuit against opioid manufacturers and distributors for their role in the addiction epidemic. The City of Martinsville, nearby in Indiana, filed a class action suit of its own in March of 2018, contributing to the growing number of municipalities seeking legal recourse for opioid addictions. “In the past, the view of the medical profession toward opioids was the view that we all hold—they’re dangerous and they’re addictive,” Shevitz told the Indiana Daily Student, his alma mater’s student paper.
►
Lewis Wagner: Robert R. Foos (personal injury litigation – defendants, 2016) spoke to changes in the legal landscape around personal injury litigation with the rise of self-driving cars. The topic is of particular interest to Indiana as state legislatures debate the safety of allowing companies like Uber and Lyft to test drive on state roads. Foos, who represents commercial carriers in the event of a death or injury, told The Indiana Lawyer, “Taking the human element out of [pedestrian deaths] altogether raises some really interesting issues for us.”
►
Taft Stettinius & Hollister: Samuel Hodson (bankruptcy and creditor debtor rights / insolvency and reorganization law; litigation – banking and finance; litigation – bankruptcy; litigation and controversy – tax, 2012), acting as city corporation counsel for the City of Greenwood, responded to allegations from a family living in a nearby county who said their basement was frequently flooded due to city negligence, resulting in costly repairs. Hodson informed the family—and curious local media—that the city was rolling out an improvement project to replace pipelines and better inspect manholes.
HONORABLE MENTION
►
Faegre Baker Daniels: J.P. Hanlon (criminal defense: white-collar, 2013) received a White House nomination to serve as the United States district judge for the southern district of Indiana. Hanlon is co-chair of his firm’s white-collar defense practice and has authored books and instructed classes on the subject.
►
Haller & Colvin: Holly A. Brady (employment law – individuals, 2013) was also nominated to serve as a United States district judge. Brady was one of several lawyers in the running for the nomination. If the Supreme Court approved the nomination, Brady would replace Chief HOLLY A. BRADY Judge Theresa Springmann of the northern district of Indiana. Brady’s peers praised her nomination. “She brings all the attributes a lawyer wants when he or she walks into a courtroom: You’re going to get a fair hearing from a very smart lawyer, a very smart judge,” an Indiana lawyer told The Journal Gazette.

Injured Man Awarded $16.5 Million After Crash With Texting Driver
K
en net h J. A l len Law Group: Kenneth J. Allen (personal injury litigation – plaintiffs, 2012), earned $16.5 million for his client who was injured after a truck driver rear-ended his car. Allen’s client was waiting at a stoplight on the highway when a driver, distracted and texting on his phone, hit his car and pushed him through the intersection. After he was struck, John Binkowski, 22, was extracted from his car and f lown to the hospital, leaving him in critical condition. Bi n k o w s k i t ol d t h e j u r y t h a t the injuries he sustained from the crash prevented him from pursuing p r o fe s s i o n a l go a l s l i k e j o i n i n g the police force, conducting on the railroad, and remaining in the Army Nationa l Guard. He under went 15 surgeries following the crash and, at the time of the trial, continued
to suffer from neck pain and vision trouble, while also attending physical and cognitive therapy. The Northwest Indiana Times reported that the driver who struck Binkowski didn’t have a justification for why he failed to stop at the intersection, based on taped testimony played at the trial. “I had lost my focus at that moment,” the driver said, claiming not to see the car ahead of him. The jury deliberated for two hours before awarding Binkowski the $16.5 million, which included $9.5 million for his injuries, $500,000 from the driver, and $6.5 million from Grand Island Express, Inc., the trucking company that employed the driver. “The jury’s verdict sends a loud and clear message: Northwest Indiana has no tolerance for reckless and irresponsible truckers and trucking companies,” Allen said after the trial.

His work takes him through the complicated back end of the legal profession, helping his clients navigate ethical dilemmas like conflicts of interest and offering preventative advice to keep firms out of hot water. Lundberg enjoys the feeling of collaboration when it comes to counseling his professional peers. “What I find particularly rewarding is working with lawyers as clients,” he says of what excites him about his practice area. “They’re very knowledgeable and sophisticated clients, and because of that they’re great partners in legal representation. They bring to it a background in the knowledge of the law that non-lawyer clients often don’t. So it really is a type of legal representation that is a true partnership between myself as the lawyer for the lawyer and the client, who is also a lawyer.” And while some attorneys might feel intimidated by the potential scrutiny of a client so well versed in matters of the law, Lundberg instead finds the shared background to be motivating. “I think of it way more as a positive than a negative,” he says. “I guess it’s a challenge that with very sophisticated and knowledgeable clients you have to be on your toes, and you can’t just bluff your way through seeming like you know what you’re doing. You have to actually know because your clients are going to detect it if you don’t.” Now an Indianapolis 2018 Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” award winner in ethics and professional responsibility law, Lundberg began his career as a civil legal services lawyer, counseling clients who could not afford representation otherwise. He then went on to become the executive director of the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission, where he developed an interest in ethical and professional responsibility cases, before going on to join Barnes & Thornburg and then begin Lundberg Legal. He now writes the “Ethics Curbstone” column for the Indiana State Bar Association magazine and is often asked to speak on the ethical areas covered in his practice. In spite of his career success, Lundberg didn’t come from a family of lawyers and didn’t go to school with the plans to become one. But shortly after graduating, something stuck in his mind, he says. “I was such an argumentative kid that my grandma said, ‘you’re going to be one of two things when you grow up: a minister or a lawyer.’ And minister didn’t seem to be in the cards.” W W W.BESTL AW Y ERS.COM

PARR RICHEY FRANDSEN PATTERSON KRUSE DOES IT RIGHT.
L
awyers who don’t practice personal injury law often need assistance on personal injury cases from lawyers who understand the intricacies of that f ield. And when county seat lawyers need assistance, they want a legal partner who understands the nuances of small community sensibility. Fortunately, Indiana lawyers don’t have to search long, because Parr Richey Frandsen Patterson Kruse LLP checks both boxes. “Our personal injury practice started in smaller towns and smaller communities, so we understand local values,” says Paul Kruse, partner. The f irm has established a reputation for being an aggressive defender of injury victims’ rights, representing people throughout Indiana. Kruse and Tony Patterson, with a combined 55 years of experience, lead the firm’s personal injury practice.
death claims or representation for a product defect, Parr Richey works diligently to assist referring lawyers and their clients. This legal collaboration was highlighted when Parr Richey took the liaison role for attorneys representing victims in the Indiana State Fair Sugarland Stage collapse case, in which seven people were killed and over 50 others were injured. The victims collectively received over $50,000,000.
EMPOWERING CLIENTS “We’ve been working with lawyers around the state for nearly 50 years,” says John M. McLaughlin, the youngest partner. “We’ve grown those rel at ion sh ips bec au se we’re open to leveraging new ideas.” Clients and referring lawyers come to t hem b e c au s e t hey expect top-shelf legal representation. In recognition of his trial skills, Kruse serves as an instructor in the National Institute of Trial Advocacy (NITA) skills program. He has been recognized by Best Lawyers ® for his work in Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs. Patterson has tried numerous cases obtaining significant verdicts, most recently an $18,500,000 jury verdict in a semitruck accident trial for a client referred by another attorney. Patterson has also been recognized by Super Lawyers and has been listed as one of the Top 50 lawyers in Indiana for the last six years. The firm’s youngest partner, John McLaughlin, is quickly developing his own reputation, recognized by Indiana Super Lawyers as a Rising Star.
“We’ve grown those relationships because we’re open to leveraging new ideas.”
LEGAL PARTNERSHIPS Kruse believes the firm’s “culture of trying cases” reassures referring lawyers that the firm will do whatever is necessary for each client. “If you have the mentality that you will take the case to trial if your client receives an unfair settlement offer, you are in a better position to get the best result for them,” says Tony Patterson, partner. With offices in Indianapolis and Lebanon, the firm assists residents of Indiana and the Midwest with a wide array of injury cases. Whether handling serious personal injury and wrongful
