About

Amelia founded Lahn Law LLC in 2014 in order to help college students navigate the consequential and often confusing academic, personal, and Title IX (sexual assault) university conduct process. Her practice now also includes general criminal defense; family law; protection orders; representing IU faculty and staff in employment-related administrative proceedings; and helping K-12 students with suspension or similar disciplinary action. Ms. Lahn was drawn to representing college students through her own work as a hearing officer in the Indiana University Office of Student Conduct (then called the Office of Student Ethics) from 2012-2014, where she charged and adjudicated student cases relating to academic integrity, alcohol, drugs, and other violations of the Indiana University Code of Conduct. As part of her job, Amelia completed the sexual assault hearing officer training required for those staff members who sit on sexual assault hearing panels.A native and life-long resident of Monroe County, Amelia is active in her community, having served on the boards of directors of Girls, Inc.; Middle Way House; Bloomington Montessori School; and the Lotus Music Festival. She has also been a volunteer attorney for District 10 Pro Bono and the Maurer School of Law Protective Order Project. While in Law School, Amelia was co-chair of the Women’s Law Caucus annual fundraising auction and law clerk for the Indianapolis firm of Betz & Blevins.While a staff member at I.U., Amelia created and taught “Orientation to College Life” at I.U. to help ease the transition into college life for international students, first generation college students, adult students returning to school after hiatus, or anyone who wanted guidance on how to make the most of their I.U. experience. She has also been a guest lecturer at the University on topics such as representing mentally impaired clients in criminal matters; starting and running a criminal practice; and the evolving status of women in the legal profession. She has been a guest on WFIU’s Noon Edition show on the topic of Title IX investigations. Additionally, she was sought out by Indiana Daily Student reporters when they did a three part series on the Title IX process at I.U,: http://specials.idsnews.com/the-system-3/.Amelia was honored to be named a 2018 “Rising Star” by the SuperLawyers publication in the area of general criminal practice— one of only two in the entire southern half of the state.

Amelia helped me with a conduct case with a university regarding a hazing, alcohol, and COVID-19 charge. Throughout the process, she provided much-needed stress relief while still maintaining realistic/candid expectations. She helped me prepare thoroughly for my case and helped me after to make sure I met all the sanctions. I do not think I could have got the favorable outcome I received if it was not for the support and guidance of Amelia. Hire her!

Amelia has gone above and beyond in all factors of my case. She has agreed to speak with my parents in moments of indecision and has negotiated with the courts to make things go as smoothly as possible. She was always extremely available and communicative. It was easy to trust her judgement and to trust her to represent me. My case occurred in Indiana and I am living across the US. She handled everything and always kept me informed along the way. She even zoom called with me! When we decided to take a pretrial diversion she offered to keep in contact and take care of the expunging a year later at no extra cost. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with her and I would highly recommend her to anyone else fighting a criminal court case in Indiana. She truly does go above and beyond for her clients.

Amelia helped my daughter navigate a legal morass her freshman year. She was smart, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. She made a stressful situation feel like smooth sailing. We needed her help again a couple of years later and it was another wonderful experience. I would highly recommend her!

Amelia has built a strong repertoire with IU’s Office of Student Conduct, which helped me navigate a case relating to false accusations of a gathering of larger than 15 people. Her professional manner, advice, and relations with IU make her one of, if not the best, lawyers for interacting with IU related issues/cases.

I was extremely fortunate to have been referred to Amelia Lahn, Esq. when I was facing a challenging legal situation recently. An accusation had been made that could jeopardize my standing as a university student. Ms. Lahn was exceptionally well versed and prepared in this area of law and policy and she was successful in presenting my defense and in representing me. As a result of Ms. Lahn’s efforts my student standing and progress have remained intact. Importantly as well, Ms. Lahn was understanding. supportive and communicative throughout the entire process.

I hired Amelia for a potential sexual assualt case and she really helped me with all of my questions and needs. She took all of the worries and stress off of my shoulders as after I hired her and explained my story, we barely talked for a month(which is good with my case and my opinion) and then I got a call that I won the case. I learned later on how much she did behind the scenes. She really does take off all the pressure of your shoulders.

I reached out to Amelia because I was falsely accused of sexual assault at my university. I was afraid that my future was ruined and in the worst condition of my life, but Amelia guided me through the Title IX process. It was clear from the start that she takes her work seriously. She always responded quickly to calls and emails, explained the process in a manner that was easy to understand, and gave me the confidence that I needed. Amelia really cared about helping me. She was really good at identifying inconsistencies in the other side's story and identifying facts to highlight in the hearing. Thanks to Amelia, I got the best results possible in the case and can move on with my life. Great lawyer!!

Amelia was very easy to work with and on top of things. She made things very easy for me. She was readily available and willing to speak with me when needed whether by phone or email. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her for anyone looking for family law.
