Eskew Law

What Eskew Law does

Eskew Law, LLC is a privately held boutique law firm founded in 2011 by Christopher Eskew in Indianapolis, Indiana, operating as an LLC under Indiana law with no external investment or parent company. The firm employs 7 attorneys and a small support staff (paralegal, legal assistant, HR/office administrator, receptionist), serving individual consumer clients throughout the state of Indiana across three practice areas: criminal defense (felonies, misdemeanors, DUI, drug crimes, sex crimes, expungement), personal injury (car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, premises liability, medical malpractice, wrongful death), and family law (divorce, custody, mediation, paternity, marital agreements).

The firm operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market motion with no proprietary technology stack; the only disclosed vendor integration is Lawmatics for automated SMS client communications. Marketing is built on content (blog, YouTube educational videos), organic social (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter), local SEO across 15+ Indiana cities, community event sponsorships, and earned media (WTHR, Fox News, NBC News, People.com, IndyStar).

Eskew Law's revenue model is hybrid: personal injury matters are handled on contingency fee with no upfront cost to clients, while criminal defense and family law matters are billed through traditional hourly or retainer arrangements whose rates are not publicly disclosed. The firm's competitive position rests on the trial experience and credentials of its attorneys — multiple former Marion County Public Defender supervisors with 70–100+ jury trials, Super Lawyers and Rising Stars recognitions, a National Trial Lawyers Top 100 designation, and a Gideon Award — and on bilingual Spanish-language service capacity.
