The Indianapolis-based law firm Craig, Kelley & Faultless LLC has recently expanded its legal services to include Iowa, following attorney Sidney Lewellen's admission to the Iowa bar. This strategic move extends the firm's operational footprint to six states, including Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio, and now Iowa, significantly enhancing its ability to serve personal injury victims across a broader geographical area.
Sidney Lewellen, who joined Craig, Kelley & Faultless during her first year of law school over three years ago, was admitted to the Indiana bar in October 2023. Her recent admission to the Iowa bar not only marks a significant milestone in her legal career but also plays a pivotal role in the firm's expansion efforts. Lewellen specializes in assisting truck-wreck victims, providing them with the necessary legal support to navigate through their challenges and ensuring accountability from responsible parties.
With a strong academic background, including an undergraduate degree in philosophy from Ball State University and a J.D. from IU McKinney School of Law where she graduated second in her class, Lewellen brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to her role at Craig, Kelley & Faultless. Her responsibilities include handling discovery matters, drafting legal briefs, and engaging with new clients, fulfilling her long-standing ambition to practice law.
The firm's expansion into Iowa is particularly noteworthy in the realm of personal injury law. Specializing in cases involving serious accidents, including those with commercial trucks, Craig, Kelley & Faultless is now better positioned to offer its specialized legal services to a wider client base. The firm's attorneys, some of whom are board-certified in commercial truck accident law, are now equipped to provide comprehensive legal support across an expanded region.
This development is especially relevant given the interstate nature of many trucking accidents and personal injury cases. The ability to practice in six states enables Craig, Kelley & Faultless to offer more seamless representation to clients whose cases may involve multiple jurisdictions, thereby simplifying the complex legal issues that can arise in such scenarios.
The expansion reflects a growing trend in the legal industry towards multi-state practices, particularly in specialized areas such as personal injury and truck accident law. This approach allows firms to extend their expertise across larger geographical areas, potentially leading to more efficient and effective legal representation for clients.
For residents of Iowa and neighboring states, this expansion means greater access to a law firm with a proven track record in personal injury cases, especially those involving commercial truck accidents. The firm's capability to handle cases across state lines is particularly advantageous for clients involved in interstate accidents or those in need of specialized legal expertise not readily available in their local area.
As Craig, Kelley & Faultless continues to grow, it remains committed to its mission of representing personal injury victims in Indiana and beyond. The firm's expansion, led by dedicated attorneys like Sidney Lewellen, highlights its commitment to delivering comprehensive legal services to individuals who have suffered injuries or lost loved ones in accidents.
This milestone in Craig, Kelley & Faultless's practice not only signifies a significant achievement for the firm but also indicates a potential shift in how personal injury victims in the Midwest can access legal representation. By extending its reach, the firm opens up new avenues for clients seeking experienced legal counsel in personal injury and truck accident cases across an increasingly broad geographical area.
