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 Certified 2026
Scored 76 out of 100 on measured evidence, above the 70 this tier requires, with every eligibility gate its state allows us to check cleared.
5 average over 154 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.

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

Frequently asked questions
How much does Custy Law Firm charge?
Custy Law Firm publishes a contingency fee, which means the fee is a share of what the case recovers and there is nothing to pay if it recovers nothing. The rate itself is not published, so ask for it in writing, along with how case expenses are handled and whether they come out of the recovery before or after the fee. The first consultation is free, which is the place to ask.
Does Custy Law Firm offer a free consultation?
Yes. Custy Law Firm publishes a free initial consultation. The intake line is published as open around the clock.
Where does Custy Law Firm have offices?
Custy Law Firm publishes two offices, in Valparaiso and Merrillville. Addresses and the Google listing behind each one are on this profile under Offices.
Who are the attorneys at Custy Law Firm?
Custy Law Firm names four attorneys on its own site, and each is listed on this profile with the page we read them from. They have not been checked against a state register: Indiana 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.
Are the case results Custy Law Firm publishes verified?
No. Custy Law Firm publishes 23 case results with amounts on its own site. We counted them and we did not confirm them: the figures are the firm's. Pillar B scores whether a firm publishes outcomes and discloses them properly, including whether a prior-results disclaimer appears beside them, not whether the amounts are right. Past results do not predict another case.
What has Law Firm Listings verified about Custy Law Firm?
Custy Law Firm scores 74 and sits at Certified. Passed: website and footprint. Could not be answered from any public source and therefore counts neither for nor against the firm: licensure, discipline and entity registration. Every row of the scorecard above names where the value came from and when it was read. Nothing on this profile was supplied by the firm for payment, and no placement here can be bought.
