About Us

The Firm

Wruble Law, LLC is an Indianapolis-based criminal defense firm focused exclusively on defending individuals facing criminal charges throughout Indiana. Led by founder Stanley F. Wruble, III, the firm has built its reputation over nearly two decades on aggressive courtroom advocacy, strategic defense preparation, and the kind of personal attention that makes a real difference when someone’s freedom, reputation, and future are at stake.

With more than 70 jury trials tried to verdict and a professional standing earned across Indiana’s courts, Wruble Law is known for taking on challenging cases that many other attorneys avoid, and for delivering the quality of representation that clients deserve regardless of the complexity of the charge they face.

How It Started

Founded in 2006 by Stanley F. Wruble, III

Stan Wruble founded what was then Wruble Law Group in 2006 after years of legal experience and a growing belief that Indianapolis needed a criminal defense firm built on a different standard. Not a firm that processed cases, but one that fought them. Not a firm that shied away from complexity, but one that sought it out on behalf of clients who had no one else willing to step in and stand firm.

The problem the firm set out to solve was simple and serious: too many people facing criminal charges, charges that could cost them their freedom, their jobs, their families, and their futures, were not receiving the aggressive, expert-level defense they needed. Stan built Wruble Law to close that gap.

In 2021 the firm evolved into Wruble Law, LLC, deepening its commitment to clients and sharpening its focus on the most challenging cases in Indiana criminal defense. Since founding, the firm has grown its trial record to more than 70 jury verdicts and established a presence throughout Marion, Hamilton, Hendricks, Boone, Johnson, and surrounding counties. The reputation it has built with prosecutors and judges across Indiana has become one of its most significant assets for the clients it serves.

Stan Wruble

Stanley F. Wruble, III   |   Founder and Lead Attorney

Stanley F. Wruble, III is the founder and lead attorney of Wruble Law, LLC and one of Indiana’s most recognized criminal defense attorneys. He earned his Juris Doctor with honors from Notre Dame Law School, and has since built a career defined by courtroom excellence, professional distinction, and an unwavering commitment to clients whose lives are genuinely on the line.

Stan has tried more than 70 jury trials to verdict across Indiana, accumulating the kind of courtroom experience that sets serious trial attorneys apart from attorneys who settle. He has taught and mentored future lawyers at Notre Dame, Northwestern, and Indiana University, contributing to the development of the next generation of legal advocates while continuing to practice at the highest level himself.

He is a member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and has been recognized with Avvo’s Client’s Choice distinction and named among the Top 40 Under 40 attorneys in his field. His professional standing with prosecutors and judges throughout Indiana is not an abstract credential. It is a practical advantage that regularly translates into better outcomes for clients.

What drives Stan Wruble is the understanding that criminal defense is not abstract. Every case involves a real person whose future depends on how well they are represented. That reality has shaped how he has practiced since 2006 and continues to shape every case Wruble Law takes on.

 

Maria Morales   |   Paralegal

Maria Morales is a bilingual paralegal with a law degree who brings extensive experience in criminal defense matters to the Wruble Law team. Her language skills ensure that Spanish-speaking clients receive clear, accurate communication throughout every stage of their case, and her years of paralegal experience contribute directly to the firm’s ability to manage complex cases with thoroughness and efficiency.

 

What Sets Wruble Law Apart

• Exclusive Criminal Defense Practice: Wruble Law does not split its attention across multiple areas of law. Every resource, every hour of preparation, and every courtroom appearance is devoted to criminal defense. That focus produces better outcomes.
• More Than 70 Jury Trials to Verdict: Most attorneys settle. Stan Wruble tries cases. A trial record of more than 70 jury verdicts is not a number, it is a demonstrated willingness and ability to take a case all the way when that is what the client’s situation requires.
• No Cookie-Cutter Defenses: Every case receives a strategy built specifically around the client’s circumstances, charges, history, and goals. Generic defenses produce generic results.
• Reputation That Opens Doors: Stan Wruble’s standing with prosecutors and judges throughout Indiana has been built over nearly two decades of professional engagement. That reputation creates leverage and credibility that benefit every client the firm represents.
• Bilingual Client Service: With Maria Morales on the team, Spanish-speaking clients receive the same quality of communication and care as every other client, without language being a barrier to understanding their case or their options.
• Willingness to Take Difficult Cases: Wruble Law specifically focuses on challenging cases that other attorneys decline. Clients who have been turned away elsewhere have a firm willing to step in.
