Kevin Karimi and Ron Gemma deliver thorough criminal defense work with remarkable responsiveness. Clients consistently praise their willingness to explain the process plainly, answer late-night calls, and fight hard for outcomes. Kevin's team secured case dismissals, probation instead of prison time, and record expungements. Amanda, their paralegal, earned repeated mention for tireless follow-up and making clients feel genuinely valued rather than rushed through intake.
The firm claims 25 years combined experience and serves Indianapolis and the metro. A small fraction of recent reviews flag refusals based on client personality, high retainers ($30,000 requested in one case), and one case of missed court dates. Most pricing praise centers on willingness to negotiate payment plans, though affordability claims in their advertising may overpromise to disabled clients on fixed income.
Most clients report a major shift in confidence and reduced stress after working with this firm. Named staff like Tony and Lacey are praised for clarity and follow-up. One early review flagged pressure to share personal details before fees are discussed, though recent reviews do not echo this concern.
Most reviewers praise Smith's responsiveness, knowledge of bankruptcy and debt relief, and ability to ease the stress of financial crisis. Two reviewers reported he was unreachable, missed callbacks, and steered them toward bankruptcy without exploring other options; one accused him of leaving their foreclosure case unmanaged.
Most clients praise HKM's attorneys, especially Ben Ellis and Katie Bensberg, for taking time to explain cases thoroughly, responding promptly, and achieving positive outcomes. A small number report frustration with slow intake processes, missing call records, and difficulty reaching the firm initially.
