Lance Ladendorf

Lance Ladendorf is a civil litigation attorney at Pavlack Law who might best be described as a ""people's lawyer."" When he talks about the law, he invariably speaks about it in the context of how it impacts his clients—followed by how his clients' struggles and victories have impacted him. He has spent the last seven years as a plaintiff's attorney, leading with both his head and his heart. Lance's practice focuses on personal injury, wrongful death, product liability, mass tort, civil rights, and appeals. His results include a $1.5 million settlement in a motor vehicle collision case achieved less than one year after the crash, a $1.25 million settlement in an ambulance transport wrongful death case, and significant recoveries in semi-truck crashes, school negligence matters, and traumatic brain injury cases. Raised in Indiana, Lance completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Notre Dame, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts with majors in Psychology and Theology. He attended Indiana University's McKinney School of Law, where he focused much of his study on the judicial selection process and dedicated considerable volunteer time to training and leading his peers in moot court competitions. After law school, Lance secured a judicial clerkship in Hamilton County, assisting judges in civil and criminal cases. He credits that clerkship with preparing him for the pace of high-volume private practice and for his tendency to over-prepare himself and his clients for trial. Lance is admitted to practice in Indiana and the U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Southern Districts of Indiana.
