Joseph Irak

Throughout northwest Indiana, Joseph holds the reputation of a highly skilled and impassioned attorney who is dedicated to helping his clients and serving his community. This reputation is the result of countless hours of work, a never-give-up attitude, and a deep devotion to his practice—traits that, unfortunately, are not as common among lawyers in today's hyper-competitive and globalized society as they once used to be represents.

While running his private practice full-time, Joseph also holds positions as County Commissioner Attorney for Lake County, Indiana, and City Attorney for Crown Point, Indiana. Joseph attained these competitive positions by earning the trust of Lake County and Crown Point, primarily through his pledge to bettering the community and his steadfast advocating for the needs of its members.
