Amelia Katherine Lahn

Amelia has gone above and beyond in all factors of my case. She has agreed to speak with my parents in moments of indecision and has negotiated with the courts to make things go as smoothly as possible. She was always extremely available and communicative. It was easy to trust her judgement and to tr...ust her to represent me. My case occurred in Indiana and I am living across the US. She handled everything and always kept me informed along the way. She even zoom called with me! When we decided to take a pretrial diversion she offered to keep in contact and take care of the expunging a year later at no extra cost. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with her and I would highly recommend her to anyone else fighting a criminal court case in Indiana. She truly does go above and beyond for her clients.

I hired Amelia for a Indiana University conduct issue and got exactly what I was needing. First and foremost, your money is going towards someone who is familiar with the university system and how it works. She knows the people you will be meeting with. With this knowledge, she was able to easily nav...igate me through the process and prepare me for my university hearing. I know when I'm under stress that it is hard for me to plan and prepare for events that are dire. Ms. Lahn was instrumental in helping me flesh out what I wanted to say. It was my words and story but together in a format that would be palatable for the meeting. She was by side the entire meeting and while she could not talk for me she was allowed to talk to me and give me leads to go off of.

I was specifically referred to Amelia by a criminal defense attorney as "she's the one that handles IU cases in town." My charge was not a criminal one, but I was facing a 4 year suspension and expulsion from campus housing for something that I absolutely did not do. During IU's internal proceedings,... attorneys are not allowed to speak. Nevertheless, Amelia communicated with me through writing and amended our questions for the witnesses as we progressed. I felt alone, like I was in a nightmare, before I met Amelia. She had my back through the whole process. I owe her so much more than money, I doubt I can ever truly pay her back. Bottom line - if you are dealing with IU's internal student conduct system, you NEED Amelia on your side. She is professional, competent, and over all an amazingly talented attorney. As a side note, she allowed me to create a payment plan as I am a poor graduate student. This helped to ease some of the stress that I was under during this extraordinarily trying time. Amelia would be my first recommendation to anyone needing help within the context of the IU system. I can't thank her enough.

As a parent, you never expect that you will get a phone call in the middle of the night from your college student telling you that they need legal assistance. We got that call and contacted a lawyer in Chicago for advice. He recommended attorney Amelia Lahn. Her experience as the former Coordinato...r of Student Conduct at Indiana University’s Office of Student Ethics was invaluable in assisting our student in navigating through the University’s student conduct (ethics) process and the resulting meetings with the Dean of Student’s office due to the violation of the University’s code of conduct. Because of her experience, our student was treated fairly by the University and able to comply with the necessary steps to remove themselves from probation in a short period of time. In addition, Ms. Lahn also assisted with the criminal component of the infraction and worked with the court to get our student into the pre-trial diversion program as part of the penalty process thereby avoiding a trial. Ms. Lahn respectfully and frequently communicated with us throughout the process without violating our student’s privacy. Her fees are reasonable given the service she provides. We have also used her to assist our student in getting a security deposit back that the landlord refused to return. Overall, she is fair, reasonable, honest, and direct as to how she can assist your student in any legal manner they encounter. Both situations were an invaluable learning experience for our student (and us) and well worth the expense.

Amelia Lahn represented me when I was charged with an OUI. Ms. Lahn was not only professional, but caring and concerned about my personal well being. This was a very difficult time for me and my family, Amelia made every step of the process as painless as possible. She was upfront and honest about... what she would be able to do for me. The costs were reasonable and fair. She was available to discuss my case with me when I needed her. I was comfortable disclosing information to her, and she kept my confidence throughout the procedure. Ms. Lahn directly contacted the prosecutor and was able to negotiate on my behalf. Her personal attention to my case made me feel assured that I was getting the best representation possible. She takes her responsibilities seriously and her counsel was invaluable. I have and will continue to recommend Amelia without reservation to my family and friends.
