## Resource

Indianapolis attorney Jim Voyles gives each of his clients a card that reads, “Stop talking.” And Voyles is hardly what you’d consider a chatty guy in public, due in large part to the sensitive nature of his cases as one of the Midwest’s premier criminal defense attorneys. His clients sometimes are accustomed to having public platforms, so prescribing silence might be a challenge. Voyles has represented members of the Indianapolis Colts, including Pat McAfee, and members of the Indiana Pacers, including a participant in the infamous Malice in the Palace incident. He also served as local counsel for Mike Tyson during the boxer’s sexual assault trial in Indianapolis. After more than five decades practicing law, Voyles has co-authored a legal memoir titled "All Rise: My Life in Trials with the Famous, Infamous and the Misunderstood.” He recently made himself available for an interview with reporter Maura Johnson of IBJ sib The Indiana Lawyer for the publication’s eponymous podcast. We’re sharing it with IBJ Podcast listeners this week to provide a rare, first-hand account of Voyle’s career, his devotion to the Sixth Amendment and his lifelong passion for motorsports.
