Indiana Felony Lawyer
Dedicated Legal Counsel Clients Can Count On
You should always take a criminal charge seriously, but there is no denying that the stakes are even higher when you are facing felony charges. Like any criminal proceeding, you retain several rights upon being arrested, including the right to an attorney and the right to remain silent. The latter is particularly important, as even trying to explain your side of the story to the police can end up incriminating you. Well-intentioned and seemingly innocent statements can be twisted by the prosecution to make you appear guilty.
If you have been arrested or are under investigation for a crime in Indiana, contact the experienced felony defense attorneys of Massillamany Jeter & Carson LLP in Fishers. We can provide the dedicated and detail-oriented legal service you need.

"Chris Jeter and his team stand by my side to help guide me in the right direction."
My name is Kelley R., owner of Wishes Dance Studio. As a small business owner in Fishers, Indiana I have found having a great attorney to be more valuable to me than great accountant. Chris Jeter and his team stand by my side to help guide me in the right direction. His knowledge of small business protected me in areas I didn't even know existed. As a result, it gave me peace of mind, takes away the worry and lets me concentrate on growing the business.- Kelley R. -
"Amazing and thorough..."
Thomas Blessing and his legal aid, Jacqueline, we're so amazing in the manner in which my grandson was advocated for in our local school system. The situation was difficult, to say the least, and Tom fought ethically and capably to protect our dignity and rights for my grandson's educational needs. We won more than the right for him to attend school as an average student, but also make-up time. I would recommend Tom and his team to help with anything educational legal issues you might have.- Kathy -

"We highly recommend this firm"
Our family has retained M&J LLP on several occasions. We were under great stress, did not know what to do next, and believed our situation was hopeless when we met with Mario M., Chris J., and staff. These people are not only brilliant, educated lawyers, but proved to personally care about what happened to our family. We feel deeply indebted to Mario M. particularly for the caring service we have been receiving. We cannot say enough good things to describe the responsible legal assistance we have received over the past year. We highly recommend this firm and will definitely use their services in the future if necessary- Lynn C.
