What recent reviews say

Ashley Dayhuff and Bob Nice lead a firm known for deep case preparation and calm reassurance through legal crises. Most clients credit them with turning cases around or protecting their interests, yet three one-star reviews flag sudden attorney departures, unexpected fee demands, and communication breakdowns that left families worse off financially and legally.

Heather Ressler earns consistent praise for estate planning efficiency. The firm operates across multiple Indiana counties and publishes a broad service menu; however, consistency appears to hinge on which attorney draws your case. Long-term clients report sustained excellence, while newer clients sometimes encounter staffing chaos.

Irwin J. Prince, Attorney

3.6(9)✓ Google-verified

Reviewers report stark contrasts. Some praise fast, thorough handling of real estate and probate issues and describe the attorney as knowledgeable and professional. Others note unreturned calls, lack of case preparation, and errors on filings. A handful report requesting payment before reviewing documents or understanding the case scope. Limited detail on foreclosure-specific services; most feedback covers real estate transactions, probate, and title disputes. Rating volatility (56% five-star, 33% one-to-two-star) reflects this inconsistency.

Banks & Brower

4.9(865)✓ Google-verified

Banks & Brower stands out for repeat clients naming specific attorneys-Joshua Zaucha, Kyle Noffsinger, Adam Brower, Dallin Lykins, Brendan, Sam, Joe Wykoff, Mark Busby, Romy Elswerky, and Brad Banks-each praised for keeping people informed and easing stress through difficult cases. Whether navigating family law, immigration, criminal defense, or injury claims, reviewers consistently report being contacted quickly, never feeling rushed, and walking away confident the firm genuinely prioritized their outcome over speed. The firm's size (865 reviews, 4.9-star average) and named paralegal support (Kendra mentioned alongside Joshua Zaucha) suggest established systems for follow-up and care. No reviewers complained about delays, fees, or broken promises; those who waited longer than expected still felt heard when they reconnected. The breadth of legal areas served (criminal, family, immigration, personal injury) draws clients across Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, and Marion County.
