The Office of the Attorney General’s Litigation Division has achieved favorable outcomes for the State of Indiana in all 13 jury trials it has defended this year — saving taxpayers more than $1 million in those trials. Overall, the division has achieved more than $36 million in taxpayer savings through successful advocacy, motion practice and trials during 2025.

“This team’s impressive achievements in court are a testament to the quality of our public servants in two different ways,” Attorney General Todd Rokita said. “First, the legal complaints brought against state employees are often retaliatory or meritless but no less damaging. Second, the talent of this office’s litigators means they prevail in their pursuit of justice.”

Attorney General Rokita thanked Chief Counsel of Litigation Patricia Orloff Erdmann for her strong and effective leadership. For her part, Erdmann credited the individuals whose work she oversees.

“This year’s achievements exemplify the unwavering dedication and passionate advocacy of the Office of Attorney General Todd Rokita’s litigation team and partners,” Erdmann said. “These are resolute defenders of the state and its citizens’ vital legal interests, always prepared to fend off legal challenges and fiercely safeguard the taxpayers.”

Attorney General Rokita also recognized the office’s partners in this effort, Lewis & Wilkins and Eichhorn & Eichhorn, who, together with the office’s litigation attorneys, produced these results.

In 11 of the 13 jury trials, the litigation team defended the Indiana Department of Correction. In the other two cases, they defended the Indiana Office of Technology and the Indiana Department of Transportation.
