Avnet Law

Attorney Ary Avnet

Ary Avnet was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1979, but decided to make Indiana his home after he began attending Indiana University – Bloomington as an undergraduate in 1997. After graduating from law school with honors, Mr. Avnet began practicing insurance defense litigation in Hamilton County for several years. Next, Mr. Avnet practiced transportation law at the largest transportation law firm in the country, defending trucking companies in large loss negligence and wrongful death suits around the country. Prior to forming Avnet Law, Mr. Avnet returned to Hamilton County to practice personal injury law, family law, and criminal law.

Currently, Mr. Avnet regularly practices trial court litigation in state and federal courts. His practice is devoted to serving clients on a wide variety of legal issues, but concentrates his practice in the areas of personal injury, family law, criminal defense, business litigation, and appellate work.

Mr. Avnet understands that for many clients, their case is their first interaction with the law and the Indiana Courts. Therefore, they are understandably anxious about their case or appearing in Court. Mr. Avnet prides himself in frequent communication with his clients, as well as his quick responsiveness to answer client questions about the status of their case, the law, and court procedure.

Mr. Avnet has seen both sides of many of his practice areas. He has represented individual Plaintiffs in personal injury suits, but he has also represented insurance companies and Fortune 500 Companies as Defendants. Learning to defend cases at the highest levels has given Mr. Avnet the ability to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of his clients’ cases and the intuition to deduce the other side’s likely legal strategies. Mr. Avnet now puts these abilities to use for his clients at Avnet Law.
