His practice focuses on plaintiffs’ complex litigation including business litigation, pharmaceutical and medical device cases, product liability and defamation.
Throughout Mr. Riley’s legal career, he has had the honor of being named a semi-finalist to fill the vacancy left by Justice Robert D. Rucker of the Indiana Supreme Court in 2017.
Mr. Riley’s campaign chairman is Russell B. Cate, equity partner at Cate, Terry & Gookins LLC and lifelong resident of Noblesville and Peg Durrer, owner of Antique Emporium in Carmel and founder of the Carmel GOP Club. Daniel J.

I have dedicated my practice to giving my clients a voice in the courtroom and allowing them to have an opportunity for justice,” said Mr. Riley. “As a judge, I will take my responsibility seriously to safeguard the open access to the courts and fair and impartial rulings for individuals and businesses. I promise to operate my courtroom with fairness, respect, and adherence to the rule of law – every single day.”
