Summerfield Dandurand Law Group, LLP, founders of Custom Law, operates as a trial firm defending clients against criminal charges that span from misdemeanors to major felonies. The firm maintains three offices: Noblesville, Indiana, serving Hamilton County; Anderson, Indiana, serving Madison County; and Lake Bluff, Illinois, serving Lake County and Cook County. Its Noblesville office is located at 215 South 10th Street, as shown on Google Maps.
The firm's criminal defense practice covers the full spectrum of charges. Its trial attorneys handle misdemeanors such as operating while intoxicated, public intoxication, theft, disorderly conduct, and simple battery, as well as major felonies including murder, rape, child molestation, robbery, and burglary. They prepare every case for trial from the outset, whether the matter is resolved before a hearing or argued before a jury. This trial-ready posture matters because it can influence plea negotiations and outcomes, giving clients an advantage when prosecutors know the defense is prepared to go to court.
The firm also represents individuals in divorce proceedings, including matters of child custody, parenting time, property division, and spousal maintenance in Indiana. The Lake Bluff, Illinois office provides a variety of business law services, including mergers, civil litigation, and personal injury representation. The combination of criminal, family, and business law services under one firm means clients facing overlapping legal issues can receive coordinated representation.
Robert Summerfield, Founding Partner and CEO, emphasized the stakes involved. "A criminal charge can cost you your job, your reputation, and your family's trust before you ever set foot in a courtroom. In a divorce, the fear is losing your kids, your money, or your home," he said. "We're straight with our clients about what's at stake, and we prepare every case for trial from day one."
The firm's leadership brings significant prosecutorial experience. Robert Summerfield has practiced law in Indiana for more than a decade, with trial experience as both a defense attorney and a prosecutor in Hamilton and Madison counties. Partner and COO Nicholas Dandurand previously served as a deputy prosecutor in Hamilton County and is a registered domestic relations mediator with the Indiana courts. That background can be crucial in understanding how the state builds its cases and in anticipating prosecution strategies.
For individuals facing criminal charges or navigating a divorce in central Indiana, the firm's expansion across multiple counties and its trial-focused approach may offer a more robust defense than firms that settle cases routinely. The firm offers in-office consultations and represents personal injury clients on a contingency basis, with no fees unless a recovery is obtained.
