What recent reviews say

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.

Recent shift: A small number of one-star reviews from a year ago report lost call records and slow intake; no recent one-star reviews in the past six months suggest possible improvement or changed processes.

Gemma & Karimi - Indianapolis Criminal Defense Lawyers

4.9(126)✓ Google-verified

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.
