About Us

A firm devoted only to family law and appeals

Ciyou & Associates, P.C. is a law firm in downtown Indianapolis, devoted exclusively to family law and appellate advocacy. With a reputation for solving the most complex issues in divorce, child custody, and related domestic relations matters, our firm’s collective experience and deep legal acumen are the foundation for our clients’ successful outcomes.

Our team is known for providing strategic guidance and high-quality representation in uniquely challenging situations, whether those involve high-conflict custody disputes, high-net-worth marital estates, or cases with overlapping criminal, CHINS (Child in Need of Services), or civil protective order elements. We skillfully navigate both interstate and international dimensions of family law and have a demonstrated ability to manage highly sensitive cases touching on mental health, narcissistic personality disorder, or substance abuse factors.

In addition to our robust trial practice, Ciyou & Associates, P.C. brings significant strength to appellate advocacy, having briefed and argued hundreds of appeals before the Indiana Court of Appeals, the Indiana Supreme Court, and federal courts, including filing for certiorari with the United States Supreme Court. Our collective efforts have helped clarify and shape Indiana law itself, driving outcomes that resonate far beyond individual cases.

Clients choose Ciyou & Associates for our unwavering focus on their objectives, transparency in legal strategy, and a “leave no stone unturned” approach to preparation. We understand that family law issues can redefine the course of a client’s life, which is why responsiveness, compassion, and attention to detail are at the core of everything we do. Our firm is committed to guiding each client through the legal process with clarity, advocacy, and the highest standard of professionalism, because in family law, certainty of counsel matters most.

We start by pinning down exactly what you need from the case, build a plan to get there, and then use every reasonable legal means to reach it. Problems. Resolved.SM
