SLY LAWCriminal defense. Fathers’ rights. One strategic advocate.

Strong. Wise. Strategic.

“The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.”
Proverbs 18:17

Attorney Sly Ayoubi is an Indianapolis trial lawyer for people facing criminal charges, family-law disputes, or both. In a crisis, you need a strong, wise, and strategic advocate who treats your freedom and your family as if his own were on the line.

Have a pending criminal or family-law case? Send the basic screening information. After a preliminary conflict review, Attorney Sly can review available public records and contact you about whether Sly Law can consider the matter, possible next steps, and any fee options.

Free evaluation is a preliminary fit-and-fee review, not legal advice. After a preliminary conflict review, Sly Law will provide any paid-consultation price, duration, scope, cancellation, no-show, refund, and availability terms in writing before payment. Ongoing representation requires a separate written engagement accepted by Sly Law. Do not send detailed or time-sensitive facts through the first request.

Protection orders, no-contact orders, domestic allegations, parenting-time disputes, and high-conflict divorce can place your freedom and your relationship with your children at risk at the same time. One strategy must account for what happens in both courtrooms.

Free Case Evaluation

Choose how to contact Sly Law.

Request a no-cost initial conversation to determine whether Sly Law may be able to assist. For an arrest, active questioning, a warrant, or an imminent hearing, call first. Keep an initial message brief. Do not send detailed, confidential, or time-sensitive information until the firm completes a preliminary conflict screen and tells you how to send it.

A request does not by itself establish an attorney-client relationship or deadline monitoring, and it does not guarantee a response or representation. Provide only basic conflict-screening information. Do not send facts, evidence, documents, account credentials, Social Security numbers, or a child’s private information. Sly Law handles information received in connection with possible representation under applicable professional obligations.
