Dorothy Ann Maryan

This is the most important review I have ever left in my life, and I hope it helps others who are seeking an attorney for help in Indiana. Dorie Maryan saved years of my son's life where he otherwise would have sat in jail longer, and eventually prison. My son was arrested on interstate 70 while dr...iving from California with his production company to an event they were going to set up. He was in a sound engineers truck that was not his, and he was riding as a passenger. He made a mistake, he got into a vehicle that had massive amounts of narcotics that he did not know about, and when the truck was pulled over it was all over. He and two other young men were arrested and thrown in jail and they were charged with several felonies and a misdemeanor, and were facing 15 years in prison! Just like that in the blink of an eye their lives changed forever! It was absolutely horrific! That being said, we needed an attorney in Indiana, we live in California, and when I found Dorie through attorney reviews I just knew we had found our attorney! She was instantly kind, caring and compassionate to our situation and she put my heart and mind at ease as much as she possibly could in the moment as I was very very upset. I instantly felt cared for and I knew my son would be OK. She jumped in and she just went to work immediately to take control of the situation and get the right legal process going on behalf of my son. She was honest and upfront with us about the process and she more than held our hands the entire way through, she practically carried us. I can honestly say that I handled this very poorly as I assume most parents do, as it was one of the most traumatic situations to be in with your child, but Dorie made it much more bearable to get through and helped my son persevere right through to the end. It's been 2 years and 4 months and we have just concluded with accepting a plea offer that saved years of my son's life. Dorie was incredible in the courtroom in which she COMMANDS the room and gets the best outcomes possible for her clients. My son describes her courtroom battles as "Jaw Dropping", as she's really that good! We had very strong convictions about my son's innocence, BUT, Dorie helped us to understand that laws of "Guilty by Association" and what a jury might conclude and find him guilty, so we did what was best for my son's life so he could go on and we accepted a plea. I'm so grateful that we didn't go to trial and risk unnecessary prison time, and I know that Dorie's advice to accept the plea came from her heart as a parent as well. We made the decision to do what was best, the Judge listened to her and took everything Dorie explained in the courtroom into consideration, and my son is now able to go on with his life and put this behind him. I must also explain that we had hired another attorney prior to finding Dorie and we were very very let down with his communication and lack of compassion, so when I quickly switched gears and found Dorie it was like a true breath of fresh air. She cares, she communicates, she educates and she eventually wins the battle! I recommend to all who are going through a legal situation to call Dorie and talk to her BEFORE you go anywhere else. I can't stress enough how important it is to have the right attorney on your side fighting for you, and Dorie is absolutely that attorney! She doesn't mess around, trust me, she's small but mighty and she will get you to the other side!

Was absolutely amazing with every step of my case. I was battling with high drug charges and saw no hope until I hired Dorie. She provided comfort and hope and was extremely dedicated with helping me navigate my case. I ended up getting the lowest possible charge as well as a chance to complete a dru...g rehabilitation program that gave me a second chance to start over my life. When eligible for my modification she was there to help me and I was granted time served! I definitely recommend her services to anyone dealing with serious drug charges.

In an almost impossible case, with video recording, and a seemingly unfair prosecutor/judge, she proved self-defense in a most difficult case. Time is precious, save yourself a ton of it and her cost was more than fair, worth every dollar and then some. Dorie was honest, empathetic, and always respo...nsive to our questions/needs. She kept us informed at every step. Maryan Law can provide you with the best legal service available. For an educated, determined, compassionate and a priceless piece of mind, and you're ready to get your life back,,,,,HIRE DORIE!!!!!!!!! We love our lawyer!!!!! 10 STARS

I was placed in a very unfortunate and difficult situation due to a relationship that ended. The other person decided to use the law as a convenience to ending our relationship without explanation. I was served with an Ex Parte Order of Protection. Left completely confused, afraid, and uninformed ...I contacted Attorney Dorie Maryan and discussed my circumstances. My legal troubles were not exactly criminal, but potentially very consequential for me in various ways. Dorie made me aware of the seriousness of my situation, while at the same time assuring me that she would handle it. Her compassion and understanding provided me with the foundation needed to fight this. Dorie was astute and listened extremely well as I articulated the background and our objectives in the situation. But, beyond this, she was also extremely compassionate with me and generous with her time. She explained everything about my case in detail in a manner that was very easy to understand. She worked very hard researching my case and all possible outcomes. She prepared me for the court proceedings and my testimony to the Judge. I was always able to reach her and speak with her anytime I needed to. I just recently went to my hearing and could not have asked for a better outcome. The case was immediately dismissed. Dorie is a very knowledgeable and professional attorney. She has a superior level of expertise in a complex area of the law. She is very passionate about her profession and truly cared about me. I am so thankful for Dorie.
