Legal Representation for Elkhart, Indiana

When hardworking Elkhart families get hurt on the road or buried in debt, Walter Law fights to get them back on their feet.

Elkhart, Indiana

Built for a Working City

Elkhart calls itself the RV Capital of the World for good reason - its factories, suppliers and trades employ thousands across the county. But a manufacturing economy has hard edges. Production schedules put heavy traffic on US 20, the bypass and State Road 19 every shift change. Boom-and-bust cycles can turn a steady paycheck into a stack of past-due notices almost overnight.

That is where our work for Elkhart clients tends to concentrate: personal injury claims after serious crashes and workplace-adjacent accidents, and bankruptcy protection for households squeezed by layoffs, medical bills or repossession threats. We also handle family law, criminal defense, estate planning and real estate matters for clients throughout the city.

Walter Law has practiced in the Elkhart County court system for decades. Christopher G. Walter is admitted before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, which sits in nearby South Bend, and is a member of the Indiana State and Goshen bar associations. From our office in Nappanee - in the same county, about thirty minutes south - we bring small-firm attention to big-city problems.
