Legal advice that explains the why, not just the what.
I’m Nick Lubanski, an Indiana attorney. I help with family law, CHINS and DCS cases, leases and deposits, wills and home closings, and everyday money disputes.
You’ll talk to me directly, in plain English, and you’ll always know what happens next. Need help with just one part of your case? That’s an option too.
How I can help
Family law
Divorce (legally, dissolution of marriage), custody and parenting time, paternity, protective orders and prenups. I’ll explain how Indiana courts actually approach your situation and what your realistic options are. Family law →
CHINS and DCS cases
If DCS is involved with your family, I represent parents from the first hearing on. You have a right to a lawyer, and early decisions matter. CHINS and DCS →
Help with just part of your case
Hire me for one piece, like reviewing a parenting plan, drafting a motion or prepping for a hearing. You handle the rest. How focused help works →
Wills, powers of attorney and home closings
The basic documents every adult should have, and a second set of eyes before you buy or sell a home. Estate planning → · Closings →
Leases and landlord–tenant issues
Evictions, deposits, repairs and lease reviews. I mostly represent landlords and take select tenant cases. Landlord–tenant →
Money disputes and small claims
Contract disputes, small claims and debt collection lawsuits, explained without the jargon. Civil litigation →
Two ways to work with me
Full representation. I handle your case start to finish: court appearances, filings, and every conversation with the other side.
Focused representation. You stay in the driver’s seat and hire me for the specific parts you want help with. Indiana’s ethics rules allow this, and we put the scope in writing before any work starts.
What working with me looks like
Send a quick inquiry. Tell me a little about what’s going on through the contact form. I’ll reply with a link to book your free 30-minute consult by phone, Google Meet or in person.
Get a straight answer. I’ll walk you through your options, what I’d recommend and what it’s likely to involve.
Decide what fits. Full representation, help with one piece, or no hire at all. Your call.
What you can expect
You’ll talk to me, not an assistant.
Plain English, with the legal terms explained when they matter.
Straight answers about cost, timing and whether something is worth pursuing.
Phone, Google Meet and email all work. Whatever’s easiest for you.
A little about me
I grew up in Cincinnati, played college baseball, and went to law school at the University of Dayton. I’ve been licensed in Indiana since 2025. My wife, Cassidy, is in medical school, and we share our home with three cats and two parakeets, one of whom showed up at our bird feeder and never left. More about me →
