Owner And Operator
The Frasher Law Firm, P.C.
Indiana
I have represented clients in various legal matters, including cases related to unfair trade practices, consumer protection, class actions, data breaches, personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice, and premise liability. I have been appointed as class counsel in ten class cases throughout my career. Additionally, I have successfully conducted five jury trials, including first chairing a class action lawsuit, and have done over fifty bench trials and more than seventy settlement conferences/mediations.My litigation experience includes brief drafting, motions to dismiss, motions to reconsider, motions to correct error, meet and confer discovery conferences, motions to compel, protective orders, summary judgments, depositions, settlement conferences/mediations, motions in limine, drafting of jury instructions, motions for interlocutory appeal, state and federal appeals, bench and jury trials, post-trial motions, disputed fee petitions, motions to transfer to the Indiana Supreme Court, and amicus curiae briefs. I successfully obtained a favorable appellant decision of first impression that established what could be considered a deceptive act under Indiana's consumer protection statute in the case of Gasbi, LLC v. Sanders, 120 N.E.3d 614 (Ind. Ct. App. 2019). Gasbi was a groundbreaking decision in the area of consumer protection and enforcement litigation. The court held that a violation of a regulatory-type statute may trigger liability under Indiana's consumer protection statute. This ruling expanded the scope of Indiana's consumer protection statute by allowing it to be applied to cases that would have been excluded previously. The novel legal theory has helped consumers recover millions of dollars, and the count is still ongoing.
