Areas We Serve
Southern Indiana Criminal Defense
The Law Office of Jerry L. Garner defends criminal cases throughout Southern Indiana from two offices — the principal office in Rockport and a satellite office in Evansville's Court Building, steps from the Vanderburgh County courts. Attorney Jerry L. Garner is admitted in the Indiana state courts and in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana.
Which courthouse answers a case depends on where the alleged offense happened, not on where you live. If you are not sure which court has your case, call (812) 301-6221 and we will tell you.

“I am not a “high volume” (large caseload) type of criminal defense attorney. I select criminal cases that are particularly interesting to me. And I especially prefer those cases where the accused appears to have suffered an injustice. I am very passionate about protecting the legal rights of my clients…and forcing the all-powerful government to prove its “case” - fairly, and beyond a reasonable doubt. This requires hard work, a lot of time, and effective communication with my clients. I carefully research and investigate the legal and factual issues existing in my cases. My 23 years of FBI Special Agent training and experience greatly assist me in my case-related analysis. I am prepared and committed to represent the accused in serious, complicated criminal cases.”
