Janis G. Sims came to the law later than most, after raising three children as a single parent, and brought that perspective with her. She earned her undergraduate degree from Indiana University South Bend with highest distinction and her Juris Doctor from Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law, where she was a member of a top moot court team.
Admitted to the Indiana bar in 2004, Janis spent eight years as an associate with Spangler, Jennings & Dougherty, P.C., before establishing the Law Office of Janis G. Sims in Merrillville in 2014. She is also admitted in Illinois and before the United States District Courts for the Northern and Southern Districts of Indiana.
Janis concentrates on Social Security disability, workers’ compensation, and personal injury matters, and serves clients of Moseley & Martinez as of counsel when an injury case carries a disability or work-comp claim alongside it. She is a member of the Lake County Bar Association and the Lake County Women Lawyers Association.
