DeLaney & DeLaney has been very fortunate to receive enormous support from colleagues in the legal community in the form of referred client matters. Referrals from other attorneys make up the bulk of our practice. Our firm handles many matters that were referred to us due to direct or positional conflicts encountered by their regular legal counsel. We also receive referrals from lawyers whose expertise does not match the demands of the particular client matter. When you have a client or professional contact in need of legal services that you are unable to provide, due to conflicts or other reasons, we will leverage our expertise for the benefit of the client. We will provide excellent service to your client for a specific engagement.

DeLaney & DeLaney has served as co-counsel, teaming up with other law firms in cases where our attorneys' particular expertise and experience have benefited the client. We have worked with attorneys from down the street, around the State of Indiana, and out of state. We have teamed up with lawyers who do trial work and with those who prefer not to do trial work. We have handled appeals with trial counsel as co-counsel for the appeal.

We offer our services for co-counsel engagements in trial and appellate courts in the federal and state systems. Co-counsel arrangements may be structured in a number of different ways to accommodate client needs and referring co-counsel's preferences.
