Tonya J. Bond practices in the area of complex litigation, focusing on insurance recovery, products liability, and commercial litigation. Tonya has been successful in obtaining coverage for unusual insurance claims, including securing coverage for the cleanup of methamphetamine operations. She also has recovered attorney fees against an adversary for failure to comply with Indiana’s alternative dispute resolution rules—another difficult claim to win. In addition to litigation, Tonya practices appellate work at both the state and federal level.
Before joining the firm, Tonya was an associate at Ice Miller. The Indiana Lawyer (published by the Indiana Business Journal) named Tonya as a 2009 “Up and Coming Lawyer.” Tonya is recognized as a leader in insurance coverage and was named an Indiana Super Lawyers® "Rising Star" for 2010, 2011 and 2012 for Insurance Coverage. She received her B.A. degree from Indiana University-Indianapolis in 2000 and her J.D. from Indiana University Indianapolis - Robert H. McKinney School of Law in 2004. In 2004, the Supreme Court of Indiana appointed Tonya to the Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program (JLAP) Board where she continues to serve. Among other community activities, Tonya is also a Board Member of Indianapolis Legal Aid Society.
