About this firm

Joel Hand is an experienced and widely respected litigator and registered legislative lobbyist who knows that one of the keys to success is building strong relationships with his clients and providing a personal touch to legal representation.

Joel forged his trial skills while working as a deputy prosecutor handling cases of the highest level of complexity including many homicides, drug crimes, robberies, burglaries and even a death penalty case. Now Joel uses his vast experience to help individual clients seek the best possible results and attain their goals.

Joel is extremely familiar with the legislative process having worked as the Director of Legislative and Government Relations for a state agency and assisted in the crafting of numerous pieces of legislation over the years. He maintains strong relationships with many current legislators and is active with the Indiana State Bar Association's Law School for Legislators program.

Hand Ponist is located in the heart of Indianapolis at 1512 North Delaware Street, just 1.5 miles north of the City-County Building and Monument Circle with free parking available. We are a state-wide law firm serving all of Central Indiana including: Marion, Boone, Carroll, Clinton, Delaware, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Henry, Johnson, Putnam, Shelby, Rush, Tippecanoe and Tipton Counties.
