About Custy Law Firm
Custy Law Firm works from Valparaiso and Merrillville and is the only firm in this market that publishes its fee terms in its own words: it takes a case on a contingent basis, and says it does not get paid unless the client does.
It names four people, states a role for none, and publishes a 24 hour line and a free consultation. Its Google listings average five stars across 153 reviews.
What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it
LFL Verified 2026
Every eligibility gate this firm's state allows us to check has been checked and held: licensure, discipline, entity, website and footprint. Certification additionally requires a score of 70.
5 average over 153 reviews
A high rating is easy at low volume and hard to hold at this one. Pillar C scores it against the market rather than against five stars.

G1 LicensureNot published by INIndiana does not publish an attorney register we can query, so licensure is not verified here. The state's own attorney search is the place to check it.
G2 DisciplineNot published by IN1 of the firm's attorneys share a surname with a disciplined attorney, and for Andrew Brown 1 of 3 decision(s) naming this surname have no searchable text, so they can be neither tied to nor ruled out against this attorney. The decisions that cannot be read are scans without searchable text, so this is a limit of the published record. Nothing here says the firm's attorney is that person.
G3 Entity & officeNot published by IN2 physical locations verified on Google Business Profile. Indiana publishes no business register we can query. INBiz answers an automated reader with a 403 and the Secretary of State's business search answers with a 202 and an empty body, which is a bot challenge, and we do not work around either. This is a limit of the published record and not something the firm can change.
G5 WebsiteSite has served over HTTPS, a working phone number published, 4 named attorneys published.
G6 Footprint153 public client reviews across 2 Google listings, above the 10 minimum, and the firm's domain has been registered since 2016-09-15, so it has been operating for more than a year

What the firm publishes itself
Custy Law Firm lists 23 case results on its own website, across 4 case types. The page carries its own disclaimer about past results. We have read the page and counted what is on it. We have not confirmed the amounts, so none are repeated here.
Results are specific to their facts and do not guarantee similar outcomes. Firms submit results through their claimed profile; only results we can substantiate are published with amounts.
The firm’s people the firm names its people without saying who among them practises law · 4 more people are named by the firm without a role, so we do not call them attorneys
Also named by the firm
The firm lists these people among its team and prints no role beside the names, so we do not describe them as attorneys.
