Indiana Criminal Defense and Appellate Attorney – Trial Experience. Appellate Skill. A Career Devoted to Criminal Law.
When you are charged with a crime—or challenging a conviction or sentence on appeal—you need an attorney who understands the criminal justice system from every side.
Todd J. Meyer has nearly three decades of legal and courtroom experience. He served for 16 years as the elected Boone County Prosecutor and has extensive experience evaluating evidence, examining witnesses, trying criminal cases, addressing sentencing issues, and presenting complex legal arguments.
Today, Todd uses that experience to defend individuals accused of crimes and to represent clients in criminal appeals throughout Indiana.
Criminal Defense Focused on Protecting Your Future
A criminal charge can affect your freedom, employment, driving privileges, professional reputation, and family. From the beginning of a case, Meyer Law Office carefully reviews the evidence, identifies potential legal and constitutional issues, evaluates the risks of trial, and develops a strategy based on the circumstances of the individual client.

Every case is different. Some cases should be negotiated. Others should be tried. The objective is to provide honest advice, careful preparation, and determined representation at every stage.
Criminal Appeals
A criminal case does not necessarily end when the trial court enters judgment. An appeal requires close review of the record, careful issue selection, legal research, persuasive written briefs, and a clear explanation of why a conviction, ruling, or sentence should be reversed or corrected.
- Trial convictions
- Sentencing errors
- Evidentiary rulings
- Constitutional violations
- Suppression issues
- Jury-instruction errors
- Sufficiency-of-the-evidence claims
- Probation-revocation decisions
- Interlocutory appeals
- Petitions for rehearing or transfer
Appellate deadlines are strict. Anyone considering an appeal should contact counsel promptly after judgment or sentencing.
Experience From Both Sides of the Courtroom
Todd Meyer’s background provides a perspective few criminal-defense attorneys possess. Before focusing his practice on criminal defense and appeals, Todd served for 16 years as the elected Boone County Prosecutor. During his career, he has handled serious criminal litigation, worked with law-enforcement agencies, tried cases before juries, and taught legal professionals about trial practice, criminal law, litigation, and professional ethics.
He was also selected to serve as first assistant and second-chair trial counsel in State of Indiana v. David Camm, a complex criminal jury trial lasting approximately thirteen weeks.
Todd now applies that experience on behalf of individuals accused or convicted of crimes. He understands how prosecutors evaluate cases, how investigations are built, how evidence is presented, and where weaknesses may exist.
Direct, Experienced Representation
Careful Case Review
Police reports, recordings, witness statements, laboratory results, and other evidence are examined to determine what the State can—and cannot—prove.
Straightforward Advice
Clients receive an honest assessment of the evidence, possible defenses, plea options, sentencing exposure, and risks associated with trial or appeal.
Trial Preparation
A favorable resolution often depends upon being prepared to litigate. Contested matters require organization, research, witness preparation, and a clear courtroom strategy.
Individual Attention
A criminal case is not merely a cause number. The firm considers the client’s background, family, employment, treatment needs, and long-term objectives.
Request a Confidential Consultation
A criminal charge, conviction, or sentence can have lasting consequences. Obtain legal advice promptly, particularly when a hearing, trial, or appellate deadline is approaching.
