A rich history of success.
The
Story of Hunt Suedhoff Kalamaros is really the story of two law firms.
The first, Hunt Suedhoff, dates back to the 1940's. Back then, Fort Wayne
attorney Leigh L. Hunt earned a reputation as a knowledgeable and effective
trial lawyer. A few years later in 1950, he opened his own law firm, concentrating
on litigation and committed to giving his clients the best service possible.
Through the years, as the firm grew, it became widely recognized for capable
attorneys and a knowledgeable staff.
The second story begins in South Bend, Indiana
in 1960 with the creation of Kalamaros & Associates. The firm was
founded on the idea of combining traditional work ethic with modern technology
and contemporary techniques to best serve its clients. Through the years,
it too became known for outstanding service and talented attorneys.
Eventually the two firms with so much in
common joined forces. This solidified Hunt Suedhoff Kalamaros as the premier
law firm in northern Indiana with one of the area's largest litigation practices.
And we are experienced in many other areas as well. We have done extensive
work with the insurance industry and have represented many national corporations
as regional counsel. Our commercial, corporate and estate services feature
experienced attorneys who work exclusively in those areas.
At Hunt Suedhoff Kalamaros, we are still
committed to Mr. Hunt's ideal of providing the best service possible and Edward
N. Kalamaros' belief in changing and growing in order to do so. We pride
ourselves on effective communication skills and our ability to find successful
solutions to clients' problems through knowledge, integrity, experience and
efficiency.
A variety of experience.
Insurance litigation is one of the most demanding areas of practice
for attorneys. Law firms must be able to represent clients in cases dealing
with all types of businesses, organizations and government agencies. It
is also imperative to be knowledgeable in many facets of the law because these
cases deal with virtually every legal issue. Our representation of the
insurance industry has given Hunt Suedhoff Kalamaros a reputation for dedication,
resourcefulness and success. We are adept at immersing our-selves in different
areas of business in order to provide competent and successful legal service
to our insurance clients. As a result, we have become experts in many
different areas. We represent the industry as both defendant and plaintiff
in cases ranging from employment discrimination to product liability.
Hunt Suedhoff Kalamaros also provides health
care law services to a wide variety of clients. Some of the largest health
care groups and hospitals in this area trust us to represent them. This
area of our practice includes medical malpractice defense, risk management,
guidance on regulatory issues and compliance, advice and services in the business
aspects of health care practice.
We attend to our clients' personal and business
law needs as well. A number of our lawyers concentrate their practice
on estate planning, probate administration, estate law and family law.
On the business side we represent clients in business organization, employment
matters, commercial transaction cases and other areas of corporate law.
We also work extensively in the fields of mediation and conflict resolution
for corporate clients. Our staff includes skilled lawyers who concentrate
in business law, assisting small and mid-sized companies both in their daily
operations and representing them as special needs arise. Experience combined
with knowledge have made Hunt Suedhoff Kalamaros the firm you can trust when
it comes to business law. We are confident that we can find solutions
for you in these areas as well.
Litigation strength.
While many law firms speak of courtroom experience, when it comes
to litigation, we are second to none. Hunt Suedhoff Kalamaros has one
of the largest litigation practices in northern Indiana. We represent
a variety of clients including corporations and individuals in local, state
and federal courts. So whether you need representation as a defendant
or plaintiff, for personal or business reasons, we can help.
At Hunt Suedhoff Kalamaros we resolve hundreds
of disputes each year. All of the attorneys in our litigation practice
group, not just one or two, have tried cases in a courtroom. However,
trials are not something we take lightly. We only go to court when all
other avenues of resolution have been thoroughly investigated and exhausted.
Our experience in the courtroom and our reputation for outstanding advocacy
make it less likely that your case will end up in the courtroom. However,
if circumstances do dictate such action, you want the experience and knowledge
of Hunt Suedhoff Kalamaros on your side.
Superior service.
For years we have concentrated on representing the insurance industry.
Working with these clients has given us valuable insights into many areas of
law. And it has taught us certain disciplines, including efficiency.
Our insurance clients demand the most efficient use of their funds possible.
You can be assured that the amount of work done on your case will be
what is reasonable under the circumstances. When you receive a bill you
will know just what we did and why we did it.
The lawyers of Hunt Suedhoff Kalamaros
are recognized as leaders in their fields. We are frequently called upon
to participate in the training of other lawyers in various workshops and seminars
sponsored by such groups as the National Institute for Trial Advocacy, the National
Business Institute and the Indiana Continuing Legal Education Forum.
We currently operate three offices, two in
Fort Wayne and one in South Bend, Indiana. So, we are available wherever
and whenever you need us. With a full support staff, we make sure our
clients not only receive the best legal service possible, but the best overall
services as well.
Throughout the history of our firm
we have been consistent in our skills, knowledge and integrity. Our experience
has established our firm as a leader in various fields including litigation.
All of this, combined with our unique approach to our clients and the talent
of our attorneys, makes Hunt Suedhoff Kalamaros the ideal law firm for all your
business and personal legal needs.
