Millions Of Dollars Recovered For Our Clients.
Dedicated & Tenacious Litigation Lawyers in Indianapolis
Federal cases work differently than state court matters. The Southern District of Indiana requires local counsel under its own Local Rule 83-6, separate from Indiana’s state court rule, and admission runs through the court’s electronic filing system rather than a paper petition, with a filing fee of roughly $100 per attorney, per case. We handle that process regularly and can get it moving quickly.
The Southern District covers four divisions, Indianapolis, Evansville, New Albany, and Terre Haute, each with its own judges and local practices. Most of our federal local counsel work runs through the Indianapolis division, though we can discuss the other divisions depending on where your case is filed.
Will Riley’s Super Lawyers, Top 100 Trial Lawyers, and AV Preeminent recognition, along with Russell Cate’s Super Lawyer recognition and appellate experience before the Indiana Court of Appeals and Indiana Supreme Court, is the kind of standing that matters in federal court just as much as state court. Both are admitted to practice before the U.S. District Courts for the Southern and Northern Districts of Indiana.
Nobody plans to need a lawyer. When something goes wrong, what you need first is someone who will listen, tell you honestly where you stand, and take the next steps off your plate. That is how every case at RileyCate, LLC begins.
We represent individuals, families, and small businesses across Fishers, Indianapolis, and surrounding counties in personal injury and complex litigation, business and real estate disputes, criminal defense, and appeals.
Will Riley and Russell Cate personally oversee every matter, staffing each case to its size and complexity. Both are recognized as Super Lawyers and have argued before the Indiana Court of Appeals and Supreme Court. Will also holds an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell and a Top 100 Trial Lawyer designation.
We are trial-tested, not just settlement-focused. We have tried hundreds of cases, because insurance companies, opposing businesses, and prosecutors negotiate differently with a firm willing to go the distance.
