On Tuesday, July 22, 2025, the Supreme Court of Indiana suspended Attorney John R. Hurley from practicing law in the state due to his failure to cooperate with a disciplinary investigation.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of John R. Hurley,” with case no. 25S-DI-91.
The court’s action follows an order issued on April 15, 2025, directing Hurley to explain why he should not face immediate suspension for noncooperation with the Indiana Disciplinary Commission’s investigation. Hurley was given ten days to respond, but failed to do so.
On June 6, 2025, the Commission requested a ruling, noting Hurley’s continued lack of cooperation, to which he again did not respond.
The Supreme Court’s order mandates that Hurley’s suspension will remain in effect until the Executive Director of the Disciplinary Commission confirms his full cooperation or until further court orders, provided no other suspensions are active.
Hurley is also required to comply with the responsibilities of a suspended attorney under Admission and Discipline Rule 23(26). Additionally, the court ordered Hurley to reimburse the Disciplinary Commission $521.46 for costs incurred during the proceeding.
According to Avvo.com, Mr. Hurley is a litigation lawyer in Indianapolis, IN. He attended the University of California, Hastings College of the Law, graduating in 1999. He acquired his law license in Indiana in 2017.
