    Defending the Accused in the Greater Indianapolis Area

    At Colasessano Law, we offer experienced and aggressive representation against both state and federal charges. We are true trial lawyers who are never afraid to take your case to court. We strongly believe that our willingness to do so will benefit you. Prosecutors are not likely to offer reasonable plea agreements if they think little chance exists that a case will go to trial. We prepare meticulously for the possibility of trial because it gives you leverage in our negotiations with prosecutors and the best chance for success. Through a firm resolve and aggressive trial advocacy, we have helped many clients protect their rights, freedom, and future.

    Whether you are facing the penalties and collateral consequences of a criminal conviction related to  DUI, domestic violence, illegal drugs, theft or fraud, sexual misconduct, weapons violations, white collar crime, or crimes of violence, your chances of avoiding or minimizing the penalties will be increased with competent and committed legal representation. At our firm, we take the time to understand your story, properly build your case, give you a voice, and provide the support you need every step of the way. We have built a reputation based on trust, personal attention, client value, and service.

      GARY COLASESSANO

      What makes our firm different from other criminal defense firms is our trial experience. Some criminal defense attorneys have a lot of bark, but when they go up against a tough minded prosecutor, they have little bite. When push comes to shove, many criminal defense lawyers simply do not want to take cases to trial. They may even push a client into accepting a bad plea offer because they are terrified of the courtroom. We like to settle cases and frequently do. But only when we feel a plea is in our client's best interests.
