At Pejic Law, “justice” is not just a word—it is an ideal we strive to obtain for every client we help.

At our firm, we work tirelessly to make sure our clients’ voices are heard and they get their day in court, something to which every citizen is entitled.

Our criminal defense firm in Michigan City has proudly helped thousands of clients. Let us put our experience to work for you. Call (219) 245-7070 to schedule a virtual or in-person consultation today.

In Your Corner, Every Step of the Way
Meet Our Attorney Scott Pejic

With over two decades of experience, Attorney Scott Pejic has built a reputation for relentless advocacy, scientific precision, and client-first service. A lifelong Indiana attorney with a background in science, Scott brings a unique edge to both criminal defense and personal injury cases. He’s represented over 1,000 clients and is known for being available, responsive, and fiercely committed to achieving justice. Whether you’re injured or accused, Scott Pejic is the kind of attorney who shows up, listens hard, and fights smart.

Proactive Communication & Strong Defense Solutions

Often in criminal cases, we see the accused admit guilt to avoid jail, a more serious conviction, or because they lack the finances to mount an effective defense. Pleading guilty to a crime you did not commit is not only an injustice, but can lead to punishment you do not deserve. 

At Pejic Law, we prioritize proactive communication so you always have your questions answered and the knowledge to make informed decisions about your case. We also conduct a thorough investigation with respect to your case, taking the time to examine the evidence against you to build a strong defense on your behalf. 

During your initial consultation, we’ll advise you on the weaknesses and strengths of your case in plain language, not legalese. We also won’t just tell clients what they want to hear and give false hope. Our goal is to make the legal system less intimidating, help you protect your rights and best interests, and 

Whether you are facing drunk driving charges (OWI), have been charged with a drug crime, or have a question about an expungement, Pejic Law can help answer your questions and offer defense solutions.

Call our firm at (219) 245-7070 or contact us online to get the answers you need.
