WHY ZIEMER & ZIEMER

Experience, Integrity & Dedication on Every Case

Clients choose Ziemer & Ziemer because of what the firm offers that no other Evansville law firm can match. Jay Ziemer has argued cases from both sides of the courtroom — as a public defender protecting the accused and as a Vanderburgh County prosecutor building the state’s case. That dual perspective means every defense strategy is built with a thorough understanding of how the opposition operates.

Holly Ziemer’s background as a former partner at one of Southwest Indiana’s largest firms adds depth across family law and civil matters. Together, they run a practice where personal accountability is not a marketing phrase. Jay answers his own phone. Cases are handled by the attorneys, not passed off to support staff.
