James Sarkisian

A. James Sarkisian has spent over 20 years as an attorney working to preserve and protect people’s rights. He began as a Deputy Prosecutor in Lake and Porter Counties. During that time, he learned that people who have suffered from traumatic experiences need help and a steady hand to guide them through difficult situations.


In 1986, Jim began representing families of loved ones killed or catastrophically injured by the negligence of others. Jim has learned that litigation requires thorough preparation and aggressive representation. Jim believes hard work, perseverance and integrity are necessary when representing his clients. Jim is committed to making sure that his clients are not taken advantage of by insurance companies who try to force a quick settlement for less than fair compensation. 


Jim says, "Your case is important to me, but your trust and confidence are priceless. This office prides itself on preserving and protecting our clients’ rights to the fullest extent allowed by law."


Jim is available to practice in state and federal courts in Indiana and Illinois and the Supreme Court of the United States.
