Both. Within landlord and tenant matters, the firm primarily represents landlords and property owners in evictions, lease drafting, rent recovery, and deposit compliance, and it also accepts select tenant matters. An attorney who knows both sides of the lease serves each side better.

The initial consultation is free. It is a 30 minute conversation directly with Attorney Nick Lubanski about your situation and your options.

Yes. Lubanski Law, LLC is licensed to practice law in Indiana only. Attorney Nick Lubanski is admitted to practice before Indiana state courts.

In most cases yes, a will still needs to be admitted to probate court to be legally effective. Indiana does allow a simplified small estate affidavit process for estates valued at $100,000 or less, which can avoid formal probate. Some assets, like those held jointly or with named beneficiaries, may also pass outside probate entirely.

You’ll need to complete the state form, confirm the estate qualifies under the $100,000 threshold, and provide it to the institution holding the assets, such as a bank. We can help make sure it’s filled out correctly and used appropriately for your situation.

Generally two years from the date of injury under Indiana Code 34-11-2-4. If your accident involved a government vehicle, government property, or a county road, a much shorter notice deadline (180 or 270 days) may also apply under the Indiana Tort Claims Act, so it’s important to act quickly rather than wait.

Indiana follows a modified comparative fault rule: if you’re found 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover damages. If you’re less than 51% at fault, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.

The overall cost depends heavily on whether the divorce is contested, how many issues need to be resolved, and the level of attorney involvement required. Indiana also allows a fee waiver request for court filing fees if a party qualifies financially. We’re happy to walk through fee options directly with you during a consultation.

CHINS stands for Child in Need of Services. It’s a civil case the state can file when a child’s safety or well-being is allegedly at risk, which can lead to court-ordered services or supervision for the family. Parents have the right to an attorney throughout the process.

Custody petitions are filed with your county’s Circuit or Superior Court, whichever handles family law matters locally. We can help ensure your petition is filed correctly and represent your interests through the process.

Costs vary depending on the type of case, whether it’s filed in small claims or a higher court, and whether it proceeds to trial. Court filing fees and attorney costs both factor in, and we can walk you through what to expect for your specific situation during a consultation.

You’ll generally need to appear at your scheduled hearing date. Ignoring a small claims summons can result in a default judgment against you, so a prompt response is important even if you plan to resolve the matter on your own.
