Your lawyer should be motivated by a desire to successfully restore your rights, secure your freedom, protect your assets, and otherwise help you move on with your life and career. For Indianapolis criminal defense lawyer Juan Pablo (JP) Román-Lagunas, satisfaction comes from using his experience and drive to achieve these goals for his clients. With deep litigation experience and a meticulous understanding of criminal law—Indiana sex crime laws in particular—JP meets clients where they are, sparing no effort to create a new beginning for them.
A Hoosier Education Built on World Experience
Born in Arizona, JP lived and studied throughout the US and abroad before settling in Indiana. His experiences sparked an interest in individual and civil rights. As an undergraduate majoring in international studies at Purdue University, he was a founding member of the City Diversity Coalition and a member of the Purdue Social Justice Coalition.
After earning his bachelor’s degree, JP lived in Shenyang, China, where he taught at several academic institutions. Upon returning to the US, he began his formal legal education at Valparaiso University School of Law. Outside the classroom, he enhanced his studies and fed his interest in helping others by serving as vice president of the Hispanic Law Student Association and participating in the Criminal Law Clinic. He was also both a competitor and a coach in the international moot court competition and studied abroad in Cambridge, United Kingdom.
