Larry D. Stassin

Personal Injury & Family Law Attorney

Larry Stassin has practiced law in Lake County continuously since 1990. He grew up here, built his practice here, and has spent over 30 years representing Northwest Indiana clients in the same courts where your case will be heard.

Thirty Years in These Courts

Most attorneys know the law. Larry knows this jurisdiction — how Lake County courts move, how judges approach contested matters, and what it takes to get a good outcome here versus what works on paper. That’s not something you develop in a few years of practice. It accumulates over decades.



Larry’s practice spans personal injury and family law — two areas that often intersect for the same client at the same difficult moment. A work injury that affects a family’s income. A divorce proceeding complicated by an active insurance claim. He brings the depth to handle both sides and the experience to see how they connect.

Federal Court Access — A Credential Most NWI Firms Can’t Match

Larry is admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, and both the Northern and Southern Districts of Indiana. Most small and mid-size Northwest Indiana firms don’t carry federal court admission at this level.



For the majority of personal injury and family law clients, cases resolve in state court — and Larry’s state court experience is the primary credential that matters day to day. But for cases that involve federal jurisdiction, federal appeals, or matters that cross into the 7th Circuit, having an attorney with that admission already in place is a practical advantage that doesn’t require bringing in outside counsel.

Practice Areas

Larry handles personal injury and family law matters throughout Lake County and Porter County. His personal injury practice covers car accidents, slip and fall, work injuries, wrongful death, and related claims. His family law practice covers divorce, child custody, child support, and matters that intersect with estate planning — including cases where divorce proceedings require a simultaneous review of wills, powers of attorney, or beneficiary designations.

How Larry Works With Clients

Every client works directly with Larry — not a paralegal acting as a relay, not a junior associate handling day-to-day file work. He responds to client inquiries within 24 hours and keeps clients informed at each stage of their case without waiting to be asked.



Consultations are free across both practice areas. Personal injury cases are handled on contingency — no attorney fees unless Larry recovers for you.
