| Description | Larry J. Schad is a native of New Albany and graduated from New Albany High School in 1959. He attended the University of Kentucky on a football scholarship and graduated in 1963. His Juris Doctor was earned from the University of Louisville. Following his graduation from U of L, it was necessary for Larry to complete two years of active military service in fulfillment of his ROTC Army Commission. He served in the Medical Service Corp in Vietnam in 1969 and earned a Bronze Star. Upon discharge from the Army, Larry returned home to begin his law career. Within a year of returning, he decided to run for public office and was elected City Court Judge in 1972 and re-elected in 1976. During that time he created many innovative programs designed to deal with growing public concerns, some of which were the first of their kind in the U.S. Almost all courts in the country now have programs similar to those created by Larry in the 1970’s. His law career has now spanned four decades. In that time, he has added his sons to the firm to handle a growing caseload. He currently practices in the area of Domestic Law, Wills and Estates, and Social Security Disability Claims. He lives on a working dairy farm with his wife Judy, with whom he owns Capriole, Inc. Capriole manufacturers both nationally and internationally acclaimed goat cheeses featured in many of the nation’s finest restaurants and eateries. I was the 37th lawyer admitted to practice in 1967. Today we have over a hundred lawyers in Floyd County. No Louisville firms had branch offices in New Albany. Computers were not in existence. Cell phones were not even thought of. We had only Circuit court, one City Court and one Justice of the Peace. After a year of private practice, I decided to run for political office and was elected City Court Judge; a position I enjoyed. I started the first Alcoholics Anonymous in the Courtroom in the County. It was successful, and led to many counties across the country adopting this method of offering help. I was re-elected for four more years. I began concentrating in Plaintiff’s injury law in 1972. It was a hard practice in those days. We had to contend with issues such as contributory negligence and guest passenger statutes which limited recoveries. In later years, those laws were changed and litigation grew more popular. More defense firms from Louisville, which we referred to as ‘puddle jumpers,’ and other cities in Indiana became involved with this practice in our own community. I enjoy the practice of law. I enjoy helping people with problems. Sometimes the results are better than others, but it is the resolution of the problem that brings the most satisfaction. Since those early days, my practice has grown substantially and now includes both of my sons in the practice. Matthew is a lawyer in the fashion of his grandfather, Chester A. Wentzell; quick and sharp, with a keen sense of humor. My son Sam, while not a lawyer, graduated from Indiana University in 1995 and returned to assist with my growing Social Security practice. I feel I have taught them well; that respect and compassion are paramount; and that the rule of law stands above all else. Together with our wonderful staff we plan on representing injured people for years to come. I welcome your inquiries. Military: Served in Vietnam as a Medical Service Corp officer.; Participated in ROTC which required a two year commitment to the active forces. |
