Paul G. Stracci

Paul G. Stracci is a partner at Stracci Law Group in Crown Point, Indiana, and an experienced criminal trial attorney serving clients throughout Northwest Indiana. Just 10 months after law school, he defended his first murder case and secured a not-guilty verdict on every count. He represents clients in state and federal criminal courts, taking on cases with life-changing consequences. His practice also includes personal injury litigation, where he advocates for people pursuing compensation after serious harm.

Paul earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Loyola University Chicago in 1993 and a Juris Doctor from Valparaiso University School of Law in 1997. He was admitted to the Indiana bar that year. To deepen his drunk-driving defense work, he completed courses at Harvard Law School, the NHTSA Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Practitioner’s Course, and the 12 Step Drug Recognition Expert Mini-Course. This training helps him scrutinize the testing methods and procedures used in DUI and OWI prosecutions.

Paul handles misdemeanor and felony defense, including drug distribution and conspiracy, gang-related allegations, firearms offenses, white-collar crime, public corruption, and healthcare fraud. His experience also covers sex offense allegations and other complex, high-profile prosecutions. In drunk-driving cases, he challenges breath-test results, blood-draw evidence, and the procedures investigators use to determine impairment. He works with lawyers, researchers, and other professionals to prepare defenses in cases that demand extensive evidence review and courtroom resources.

Paul G. Stracci has been selected to Super Lawyers every year since 2019. He is a member of the Indiana State Bar Association, Lake County Bar Association, and National College for Drunk Driving Defense. His professional service includes a peer-elected seat on the Lake County Judicial Nominating Commission and a former board presidency with the Northern District of Indiana Federal Community Defender Organization. He brings extensive courtroom experience, evidence-focused preparation, and candid legal advice to clients facing serious criminal accusations.
