What Fleschner, Stark, Tanoos & Newlin does

Fleschner, Stark, Tanoos & Newlin (FSTN) is a privately-held personal injury law firm headquartered in Terre Haute, Indiana, with a secondary office in Brownsburg, Indiana. Founded in 1978 by Steve Fleschner and operating continuously for over 45 years, the firm serves injury victims across Indiana and Illinois. Its practice spans core personal injury work (truck, car, motorcycle, bicycle, bus, boat, and pedestrian accidents; wrongful death; catastrophic injuries; medical malpractice; nursing home abuse; slip and fall; workers' compensation; and dog bites), mass tort litigation (hernia mesh, Philips CPAP, defective medical devices, and broader product liability), and secondary practice areas including family law, real estate, record expungement, and veterans' disability claims. The firm has documented individual case settlements ranging from $625,000 to $2 million. It employs 101–250 staff and is led by seven partners (Steve Fleschner, Caleb Fleschner, Katie Fleschner McMullen, Dennis Stark, Anthony A. Tanoos, Thomas C. Newlin) plus Of Counsel Steve Williams and additional attorneys (Krista Duzan, Britney Osburn, Stephanie Crampton, Shelby Pair, Hunter Marple, Kaitlyn Watson), reflecting a multi-generational family ownership structure.

The firm operates on a contingency fee basis under its trademarked "No Fee Guarantee®," meaning clients pay no attorney fees unless compensation is recovered, with no upfront costs or hourly billing. Client acquisition is driven by a sales-led and community-led go-to-market motion combining direct outreach (website contact forms, free case reviews, phone), Google Business reviews, YouTube video testimonials, active social media on Facebook and Instagram, attorney referral networks, and significant local sponsorships (Terre Haute Balloon Fest, Music at the Crossroads, FSTN Veteran Scholarship, donations to schools and the Terre Haute Children's Museum). The firm's technology stack is minimal: a basic client portal (piportal.fleschnerlaw.com) is used for case communication, and no proprietary AI, model, or platform technology is disclosed. A related entity, Newlin Disability, operates as an adjacent subsidiary focused on disability claims and is referenced as a co-development partner for defective product and toxic tort matters.

The firm reports no external institutional investment, no parent company, and no publicly disclosed revenue. It is DBA "FSTN" and is registered in Indiana, USA.
