Michael Bishop is among a select group of attorneys who have made a significant impact on the evolution of Indiana law. A
precedent-setting 2010 appellate court decision enabled adopted children to be treated the same as biological children for
purposes of receiving inheritance under a trust, and it is heralded as an example of the commitment Michael has shown to children
and families in his over 30 years practicing law. Respect for his work and service to state and national legal organizations
reaches far beyond the boundaries of his firm, city or state.
The best advice I ever received was
spend as much time turning down a case as you do accepting one.
I wish I had known when I graduated law school that
the practice of law is a business as well as a profession.
My best stress reliever is
running, cycling and working out.
If I weren’t a lawyer, I’d be
a professional bass player.
In 2012, I’d like to
enjoy my daughter’s wedding this fall.
The three words that best describe me are
funny, dependable and determined.
In the movie about my life, this actor would play me:
George Clooney.
In my community, I’m passionate about
children’s rights, family and my faith.

vagueness cannot challenged, so let's write all laws vaguely and throw the constitution out the window.Even if the court is operating under a particular law, if they don't it they will change it to their liking. What a joke!!!
Two convictions becomes one conviction with exactly the same sentence, only it is not clear wheter or not that sentence will be 18 months, 120 months or 138 months. Actually if the guns were in a home, whether or not they were his, he is protected under the 2nd amendment. Jurors need to learn the law and the constitution before judging others. The cour5ts need to do this as well.
With all due respect, Rick, I think you probably would be making a mistake by going to law school. The job market for attorneys is so saturated, you may well find yourself unemployed and with a lot of debt. You mention law would be a good supplement to your skills. True. But employers unfortunately don't value that. You will find that a law degree may well pigeonhole you into an attorney slot and limit career options. If you have a good job now I would hold onto that. As an attorney, you may well end up making less with the aforementioned debt.
Jack, I was only responding to bill's comment of tying everybody in government together. I agree with you though, it takes one bad apple to ruin the bunch.. As in any profession. What's truly unfair is when somebody violates someone's trust and takes complete advantage of someone
John’s comment is unfair. The majority of attorneys can be trusted. Unfortunately, all it takes is one greedy, unscrupulous, immoral attorney to jade the public.
