1904

Buddy Yosha is embedded in the fabric of Indiana, but our story starts with Buddy’s father - Abe Abraham Yosha.

Like countless others seeking a better life, Abe Abraham Yosha set foot on Ellis Island in 1904, having left his home in Monastir (North Macedonia). Despite speaking little English and with no education, Abe managed to start his own business – a small grocery store on the southside of downtown Indianapolis. Driven to share the American Dream with his family, Abe saved the money needed to travel across the Atlantic and bring more of his relatives from their small village in Macedonia - including his brother, Dave Abraham, Buddy Yosha’s uncle and father of world-renowned business consultant, Jay Abraham.

1963

The seeds of Yosha Law were planted as Louis ‘Buddy’ Yosha became licensed to practice law in Indiana. Quickly finding his calling as a trial lawyer, Buddy would develop a reputation for courtroom success against corporate giants looking to leverage their power and take advantage of everyday Hoosiers. The boy from Indiana had started his journey to becoming one of the best lawyers in America.

Buddy served as a faculty member on three occasions at the prestigious three-day Mock Trial Institute at Ann Arbor.

Buddy is named President of the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association (ITLA). As the only state association in Indiana fighting to protect constitutional rights, the ITLA fights powerful corporate interests lobbying for legislation that will undermine the civil justice system. ITLA Presidents distinguish themselves not only in leadership, but in the pursuit of justice for all Hoosiers. For Buddy, this meant the opportunity to continue educating and mentoring a generation of attorneys.

A life-changing year for all, the pandemic year also marked with a record-breaking win for Buddy, Brandon and the team. The firm’s mixture of veteran and young lawyers combine to secure a $20 million jury verdict against a Fortune 500 energy company following a near fatal electric shock. Despite the effects of the pandemic causing challenges in and out of the courtroom, the team - including Brandon Yosha who was sworn into the Indiana Bar just five weeks earlier - turned a frivolous pre-trial offer of $50,000 into a life-changing sum of $20.3 million in compensatory damages.
