About

Christopher J. Irak received his J.D. from the Indiana University Maurer School of Law and holds a Bachelor’s in Business Finance from the Indiana University Kelley School of Business (ranked the 25th and 7th best education programs in the country for each field, respectively). A distinguished education helped prepare him intellectually for the practice of law; however, the work ethic and dedication of his father and lawyer of 30+ years, Joseph Irak, are what truly fuel Christopher's mission to become the absolute best attorney and client-advocate he is capable of being.Christopher practices law throughout Northwest Indiana with focuses in personal injury cases, business / corporate law and startup formation, civil litigation (including appeals), contract / transactional drafting, criminal defense (Misdemeanor and Felony), and traffic tickets (particularly CDL drivers).Shortly after being sworn in as an attorney, Christopher built his momentum by winning a high profile case before the Indiana Court of Appeals. The case itself had been in the court system for more than 25 years and the ruling received news coverage throughout Indiana. Through this case, Chris was able to return rightful ownership of family land to his clients that had been contested for nearly an entire generation.Additionally, Christopher is a lifelong entrepreneur who has co-founded, grown, and managed a variety of companies in the technology, entertainment, and event industries. He also co-founded a charitable student group during college and was a project manager for teams of more than 15 people at a time, all working towards a common goal to help others. His financial and legal education, combined with real-world experience as an entrepreneur and team leader, make Christopher an effective and dedicated lawyer for business owners, founders, and deal-makers alike. Moreover, Christopher's resume includes a license negotiation and contract with one of the 2016 Presidential campaigns for state of the art communications software developed by Chris' client. Chris was able to negotiate his client exclusive rights to the software in addition to monthly royalty payments, and the software went on to be a quiet but substantial behind-the-scenes success in the campaign.Attorney Irak intends to always learn from his experiences and continuously strive to become the strongest version of himself, so that – like his father – he can pledge his work to the ultimate goal of leaving the world a little bit better off than it was when he entered it.
