Reviews

We highly recommend legal services by Dorie Maryan. She was very knowledgeable, professional and sensitive to our needs. She worked hard on our Son's case to achieve a great outcome in court while also securing a recovery program on his behalf.

I could not ask for a better attorney. My driver license was suspended because of ticket that appeared on National Driver Record. The ticket was already paid but was not reported properly. Attorney Maryan helped me to resolve this issue in 24 hours. Excellent attorney and staff.

Dorie is an incredible attorney!

Dorie is a wonderful attorney! My husband got into some really steep federal trouble, and because of finances, we were unable to obtain an attorney of our own. Dorie was appointed, by the court, to my husband's federal criminal case, and we have been very happy with her! She is easy to talk to, she never made me, nor my husband, feel as though we were an inconvenience, she kept us informed with up-to-date information, very knowledgeable in both State and Federal Law, she was honest with us, EXTREMELY patient, and very supportive. Not only does she possess all of these qualities, but she never made us feel as though we weren't worth her efforts. She fought just as hard on my husband's case, as she would any other case she was hired for. She gave 110% of herself, and she was always willing to help, and answer any questions we had. I highly recommend anyone looking for a criminal justice attorney, to go to Dorie. Whenever any of my husband's fellow inmates found out that Dorie was representing him, they became rather jealous, and would tell him how lucky he was! I am definitely keeping her number in my emergency contacts.

A friend recommended Dorie Maryian, He had used her to defend his son, and knew I had not only been arrested, but had an existing felony. While I was on probation for an unrelated charge. I was facing 2 1/2 years for this new charge, plus 6 yrs for a violation of my probation, because I had a new charge. Dorie took control of my case, showed the Judge that he had not just the right, to dismiss this case, but the legal cause as well. The Judge was reluctant to put his name on a dismissal. So Dorie took the next step in resolving my case. She did an expert job taking depositions, gathering evidence, taking pictures, driving the route involved. All the while giving me enough comfort to maintain sanity. I have been told that when selecting an attorney you should always consider the 3 C’s, Credentials, Comfort, and Cost. Along with that try to examine case history. There is a reason Dorie has been listed in the rising stars section of “Super Lawyers” and in the top 100 Criminal defense lawyers. All the reviews I have found for her have been 5 star, except 1 and I think that review was for someone other than Dorie. As we went to trial where I sat and listened to the prosecutor badmouth me. Lie about me, and the events of the day, Dorie calmly worked the room and all of their witnesses as smoothly as she worked the legal system. In the end she brought in a “Not Guilty” verdict, kept the peace with my probation officer, and smoothed out everything in my life. As she did all of this she was able to keep me calm for the 10 months it took to tour our “speedy trial” system. After completion of the trial, She was even able to discount the cost a little. Although she is making a living, outcome seemed to be as big an issue as money. Credentials, Comfort, and Cost. She NAILED all 3 with a smile on her face. Dorie is the ONLY attorney I will ever use. Not that I want to think I will ever need an attorney again. But she is my Super Star.

Reliable representation, prompt responses, and prompt actions.

I have been handling criminal defense for 24 years in the central Indiana area. Stacy is very smart, very up to date on case law, and: she wins! Livingston v. State (Indiana Supreme court 2019); the Camm case 3rd trial. . .I could go on and on. She's "bad", and by that I mean she's REALLY good!

This is the most important review I have ever left in my life, and I hope it helps others who are seeking an attorney for help in Indiana. Dorie Maryan saved years of my son's life where he otherwise would have sat in jail longer, and eventually prison. My son was arrested on interstate 70 while driving from California with his production company to an event they were going to set up. He was in a sound engineers truck that was not his, and he was riding as a passenger. He made a mistake, he got into a vehicle that had massive amounts of narcotics that he did not know about, and when the truck was pulled over it was all over. He and two other young men were arrested and thrown in jail and they were charged with several felonies and a misdemeanor, and were facing 15 years in prison! Just like that in the blink of an eye their lives changed forever! It was absolutely horrific! That being said, we needed an attorney in Indiana, we live in California, and when I found Dorie through attorney reviews I just knew we had found our attorney! She was instantly kind, caring and compassionate to our situation and she put my heart and mind at ease as much as she possibly could in the moment as I was very very upset. I instantly felt cared for and I knew my son would be OK. She jumped in and she just went to work immediately to take control of the situation and get the right legal process going on behalf of my son. She was honest and upfront with us about the process and she more than held our hands the entire way through, she practically carried us. I can honestly say that I handled this very poorly as I assume most parents do, as it was one of the most traumatic situations to be in with your child, but Dorie made it much more bearable to get through and helped my son persevere right through to the end. It's been 2 years and 4 months and we have just concluded with accepting a plea offer that saved years of my son's life. Dorie was incredible in the courtroom in which she COMMANDS the room and gets the best outcomes possible for her clients. My son describes her courtroom battles as "Jaw Dropping", as she's really that good! We had very strong convictions about my son's innocence, BUT, Dorie helped us to understand that laws of "Guilty by Association" and what a jury might conclude and find him guilty, so we did what was best for my son's life so he could go on and we accepted a plea. I'm so grateful that we didn't go to trial and risk unnecessary prison time, and I know that Dorie's advice to accept the plea came from her heart as a parent as well. We made the decision to do what was best, the Judge listened to her and took everything Dorie explained in the courtroom into consideration, and my son is now able to go on with his life and put this behind him. I must also explain that we had hired another attorney prior to finding Dorie and we were very very let down with his communication and lack of compassion, so when I quickly switched gears and found Dorie it was like a true breath of fresh air. She cares, she communicates, she educates and she eventually wins the battle! I recommend to all who are going through a legal situation to call Dorie and talk to her BEFORE you go anywhere else. I can't stress enough how important it is to have the right attorney on your side fighting for you, and Dorie is absolutely that attorney! She doesn't mess around, trust me, she's small but mighty and she will get you to the other side!

Although Dorie was appointed by the court for my son. She gave it all she had and the results were wonderful. Selfless and truly compassionate for Her client. Very reachable and responsive. Thank you Dorie.

Dorie was diligent and thorough in her work while representing me. She was responsive to my questions, knowledgeable, and did an excellent job keeping me up to date throughout the entire process. I would recommend her to anyone.

Mrs. Maryan did an excellent job of character building in a sentencing trial. However, her strong suit and most adventitious skill was in presenting and reviewing with the judge the state/department of corrections own risk review tool. She demonstrated the pros to the doc, the community, and the defendants of limited incarceration and enhanced home monitoring. Without the use of the DOCs own tools, the sentencing would have been years, nearly a decade. Mrs. Maryan successfully reduced that to home incarceration where the defendant could, in fact, continue to be a productive member of society, and his children would not have to depend on the state for support. I would recommend her to anyone in any situation.
