Choosing an attorney to handle your case is a big decision that should not be made on a whim – your future health and finances can literally depend on the outcome of the case. You need an attorney who understands this and respects the magnitude of your decision to select them for representation. As your attorney, I am your advocate. I took an oath to champion my client’s interest even before my own, and I consider it an honor when I am chosen to fight on your behalf. I do not have a large staff of paralegals that handle cases for me, I personally handle each and every case, and I try to make it a point to meet face-to-face early in the case. I also give out my personal cell phone number, so if you want to talk directly to me, you can. I am honest and forthright with my clients, and am not one to “sugar coat” things. I will cut to the chase and give you my honest, professional opinion as I lead you through your difficult time.
On my personal injury cases, I provide free initial consultations and use a contingency fee basis which means that if I do not obtain a recovery for you then there is no fee from me and no cost to you.
About Me
I was born and raised outside of a small town in northeast Indiana. I inherited a strong work ethic from my father who had his own construction business while I was a kid. I didn’t grow up with a silver spoon in my mouth and take pride that I am different from most lawyers. I am the oldest of nine siblings and was the first one in my family to go to college. I went to Butler University in Indianapolis. Originally I started out pre-med wanting to help people, but ended up graduating with a desire to pursue law and fight in the legal arena for individuals. During my studies I was fortunate to study at the Universidad de Alcala de Henares outside of Madrid, Spain and am fluent in both English and Spanish. While I was at Butler I met my wife, Sara, and we have been blessed with two children since.
After college, I attended law school at Indiana University School of Law in Indianapolis and at Stetson University College of Law in St. Petersburg, Florida. Honing trial advocacy skills at one of the most consistently high ranking advocacy programs was an honor and a privilege. I started my law practice immediately after law school.
Ever since I have had the privilege to represent everyday people against the powerful—their employers, the insurance industry, and the other members of “the defense” looking to minimize the damages they have suffered. Over the years I have handled cases against billion dollar corporations, governmental agencies, and even assisted in a lawsuit with a multi-national corporate giant on the other side. I don’t shy away from a tough fight and am willing to go all in to fight for what is right - to fight for justice.
Feel free to call me on my cell at. If I don’t answer during business hours, I am likely in court or in a position where I am unable to answer. Please do not be discouraged, simply leave me a message I will return your call within 24 hours. If you would like general information, you can contact one of my assistants at the numbers listed on our contact page. I look forward to working with you and your family.

I hired Travis for a Small Claims Suit, he stayed on the case to the end, it took time to collect, he made it happen. I am retired and was very nerves bc I have never been to a court hearing. Travis stayed in close contact with me through it all. Travis is very professional and a people person also, ...

Travis McConnell is "Simply the best " and that is an understatement. After a very serious workplace injury caused from employer's negligence in maintaining a safe work environment, the organization schemed and connived their way through my initial days of recovery by influencing doctors, limiting wo...

Travis provided pro bono advise for a friend that was involved in an accident which gave the friend injuries and deprived him of his scooter. The insurance company for the party at fault is low balling the friend so I went to Travis for advice. Travis was knowledgeable, passionate and forthright wi...

My name is Marjory. I was introduced to Travis by my brother, which they were good friends. Further, I accepted him as my lawyer. I was amazed that he stopped by to visit and gave us personal attention for our situation. Travis worked closely with us throughout the whole process of the whole case to ...

Absolutely the best legal representation I have ever acquired. Very quick to contact me, worked diligently on my case, listened intently and was very personable. I was not just another case or person. Worked very quickly and really pushed the Courts to handle my situation as fast as possible. Mr. Mc...
"In the matters I have worked on against Travis, I have found him to be an ethical, excellent and diligent attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have know Travis for over 7 years. It has been a pleasure to see him grow as an attorney. I trust him with my client's needs."
"I endorse this lawyer. Travis brings a passion to the practice of law that is very rare amongst my peers. He secures superior outcomes for his clients because he places their interests first. He is trustworthy, knowledgeable, confident and aggressive."
"Travis and I have known one another for over a decade-first in a mentorship capacity, when he was employed at my office prior to attending law school, and now as a colleague and friend. My own practice benefitted from his presence and I believe that the legal profession as a whole is better for having Travis among the ranks. Travis is a creative thinker and advocate. He is quick on his feet and is bold in his approach to seeking creative solutions on behalf of clients. The fact that Travis is bilingual enables him to build more authentic partnerships and better serve his Spanish-speaking clients. I have no hesitation in my wholehearted recommendation."
"Travis is a determined and effective advocate for his clients. He's very resourceful and clearly has his clients' best interests in mind, at all times. I enthusiastically recommend Travis to anyone in need of a uniquely gifted, qualified workers' compensation attorney."
"Travis is one of the most personable and caring attorneys with whom I have had the pleasure of working. Experienced and knowlegable, he is a zealous advocate for his clients while still remaining professional, affable, and committed to the practice of law. I fully endorse Travis McConnell!"
"Travis' knowledge in the area of workers' compensation law is excellent, as is the manner in which he deals with clients, fellow attorneys and the courts. I feel priviledged to have worked with him on several cases in the past, look forward to doing so again in the future and would highly recommend him."
