A native of Indiana, I could only call Indiana home. I was raised by my grandparents in Plymouth, Indiana. As a basketball and baseball player in highschool, I earned a scholarship on to college. After an injury, I had to work to make it through school. I graduated earning top honors through college and law school. Upon graduation, I started working for the State of Indiana as a prosecutor and since have been through more than 100 jury trials fighting from both sides of the aisle.

Amazing Family Law Attorney
Gilley guided us through a difficult family law case. We won custody and got 98% of what we had went in asking for. Gilley was attentive, communicative, and was amazing in the courtroom!
"I have known Chris throughout his career as a prosecutor in Hamilton, Marion and Madison counties as well as his current position in private practice. Chris is a terrific trial attorney who is quick on his feet and highly intelligent. He cares about the people he represents and is passionate about representing them to the fullest."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is extremely well versed in all matters of Criminal Law. I regularly consult him for his expertise when civil matters have a criminal element to them and the timing of the prosecutor in other actions. Certainly one of the best."
