Practice Areas

Serious representation across five core areas

Lawson Law LLC focuses on the matters that most affect people’s freedom, safety, and future — with direct attorney attention on every file.

01

Federal Criminal Defense

Federal cases move fast and carry serious consequences. Matt Lawson defends clients facing federal criminal charges in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, building a clear strategy from the first phone call through resolution.

  • Investigations and grand jury matters
  • Federal indictments and arraignments
  • Pretrial motions and suppression hearings
  • Sentencing advocacy and guideline analysis
02

State Criminal Defense

From misdemeanors to serious felonies, Matt represents people charged in state courts throughout Northwest Indiana. He handles every case with the same preparation and attention, whether it is a first offense or a complex charge.

  • Misdemeanor and felony charges
  • OWI / DUI defense
  • Drug and weapons offenses
  • Probation and expungement matters
03

Personal Injury

When someone else’s negligence turns your life upside down, you deserve an advocate who will fight for full and fair compensation. Matt represents injured clients across the entire state of Indiana on a contingency basis — you pay nothing unless he recovers for you.

  • Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
  • Slip and fall / premises liability
  • Wrongful death claims
  • Insurance dispute negotiation
04

Property & Insurance Claims

When disaster strikes your home or business, your insurance company should have your back — but too often policyholders are underpaid, delayed, or denied. Having once defended insurance companies, Matt knows their playbook and puts that experience to work fighting for the payout you are owed.

  • Property damage claims
  • Fire, water, and storm losses
  • First-party insurance claims
  • Denied, delayed, and underpaid claim disputes
05

Immigration Law

Immigration law is complicated and the stakes are personal. Matt helps individuals and families understand their options and move forward with confidence at every stage of the process.

  • Family-based petitions
  • Green cards and adjustment of status
  • Naturalization and citizenship
  • Removal defense guidance
