Firm Profile

The Foundation of Our Firm

The law firm of Haggerty and Haggerty was founded nearly 60 years ago, in 1955, by brothers, Judson F. Haggerty and Jay B. Haggerty.

Judson F. Haggerty, a former Deputy Prosecutor, became a well-known and respected litigator handling high profile criminal defense and personal injury cases.  He was the Marion County Democratic County Chairman and personal counsel to Congressman Andy Jacobs.

Jay B. Haggerty became respected in the Courts as a probate and small business attorney.  He served as a Court Commissioner and as first Magistrate of the Marion County Drug Court.

Together, the Haggerty firm earned a reputation for honesty and fair dealing with its clients and other attorneys.

Shortly thereafter, Jay B. Haggerty’s sons, Jay J. Haggerty and Jon F. Haggerty, joined the firm.  Jay J. Haggerty focused on divorce and family law, estate planning and probate as well as personal injury.  Jon F. Haggerty focused on bankruptcy, elder law, Medicaid planning and general civil and criminal litigation.

Following Judson F. Haggerty’s death in 1997, Jay B. Haggerty remained of counsel to the firm, offering a wealth of experience and guidance.
