Serving Goshen and the Elkhart County Courts

The county seat is where cases are decided. We know its courtrooms, its clerks and its bar - because we belong to it.

The County Seat

Where Elkhart County Cases Are Heard

Goshen is more than the maple city with a famous courthouse square - for anyone with a legal matter in Elkhart County, it is where many important decisions happen. Estates are opened, judgments are entered, and civil matters move through the county courts here.

Christopher G. Walter is a member of the Goshen Bar Association alongside the Indiana State and American bar associations, and our firm has served Elkhart County clients for decades. For Goshen residents, our work often involves estate planning, probate, real estate, bankruptcy and injury claims.

College students at Goshen College, first-generation homebuyers, retiring farmers and growing families all pass through the same courthouse doors eventually. Whatever brings you there, it helps to arrive with counsel who has been there many times before.
