Andrew B. Jones is one of only a few trial attorneys in St. Joseph County to have served as lead counsel at trial in both civil and criminal defense matters.

Andrew B. Jones focuses his practice on personal injury and wrongful death claims, medical malpractice claims, counseling small businesses, criminal defense, domestic relations issues including divorce and child custody, civil collection work, and several other types of civil practice. He served as the LaPorte County Attorney, and represented the LaPorte County Commissioners, the LaPorte County Sheriff, the LaPorte County Clerk, the LaPorte County Auditor, the LaPorte County Treasurer, and numerous other county boards and departments. He also serves as Deputy St. Joseph County Attorney, and represents the St. Joseph County Clerk and the St. Joseph County Election Board.

He has been named one of the “Top 40 Under 40” Attorneys in the State of Indiana by the National Trial Lawyers and has been awarded several other accolades for his legal advocacy. He has also served as a Professor at the University of Notre Dame, teaching at the Mendoza College of Business, which has been ranked by Bloomberg as the top undergraduate business program in the entire United States. He has also taught courtroom advocacy and trial evidence.

Andrew holds a Bachelor of Arts degree (B.A.) in Political Science and Philosophy, with honors, from Butler University, a Juris Doctor degree (J.D.) from Boston College Law School, and a Masters of Business Administration (M.B.A.) from the University of Notre Dame.

Research Andrew performed has since been published. He was named a “Top 100” Butler Student twice, finishing as one of the “Top 10” Male Students.

He participated in the Boston College Law School 34th Annual Mock Trial Competition and also undertook two semesters of independent study and research with a family law professor. Research Andrew performed has since been published. Andrew had the privilege of studying trial practice under Jack Curtin, a legendary trial attorney and the former President of the American Bar Association. Andrew was the only second year law student to ever earn an “A” in Professor Curtin’s 45 years of teaching trial advocacy. Prior to founding his own firm, Andrew practiced as an associate with Sweeney Julian.

Attorney Andrew B. Jones's Testimony in support of Senate Bill 234, January 2021

Watch Attorney Andrew B. Jones's testimony in the Indiana Statehouse in support of Senate Bill 234.

SB 234 is sponsored by Sen. Linda Rogers and would provide oversight into the payroll processing industry, including the following:

  • require payroll companies to make tax payments more frequently on behalf of their clients 
  • alert employers more quickly if a tax payment is missed

Attorney Jones is the first attorney to have filed a lawsuit on behalf of IOI customers that were payroll fraud victims of Elkhart-based payroll company IOI, Interlogic Outsourcing, Inc., and its owner, Najeeb Khan. Mr. Khan is the perpetrator of a 20-year, $100-million payroll fraud scheme that has affected over 6,000 victims in the United States. Attorney Jones represents 87 businesses in litigation against IOI and Mr. Khan. Attorney Jones is strongly in favor of SB 234, as it would put legislation in place to protect businesses entrusting payroll companies.
