People make mistakes:  Individuals.  Police Officers.  Prosecutors.

 

As a Criminal Defense Attorney, Matt Schulz has represented clients in Monroe, Lawrence, Greene, Owen and Brown Counties and beyond. He grew up in Bedford and has called Bloomington home for over 16 years. He understands the impact criminal charges have on people:   legal sanctions, emotional ramifications, family consequences, professional discipline, university discipline, and more. If you stand accused of a crime, our firm will protect your rights and help you navigate the criminal justice system.  If you have been charged with a crime, the State has the burden of proving each element of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt.  You have rights including the right to remain silent, the right to see certain evidence against you, the right to question State witnesses, and the right to a jury trial. If you need a lawyer, we can help.
