In 2026, Boje, Benner, Becker, Markovich & Hixson, LLP proudly marks 100 years of continuous legal service in Hamilton County, Indiana. Few law firms can claim a full century of uninterrupted practice in the same community, and fewer still have done so while maintaining the same core values: integrity, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to clients. From its beginnings in downtown Noblesville in 1926 to its long-standing presence on Maple Avenue today, the firm’s history is inseparable from the history of Hamilton County itself.

Rooted in Noblesville Since 1926

The firm’s story began when Solomon L. Garrison opened his law practice in Hamilton County nearly a century ago. In 1931, Worth H. Castor joined him, forming Garrison and Castor and laying the foundation for what would become one of the county’s most enduring legal institutions. Practicing near the courthouse and later serving as Hamilton County Attorney, Castor helped establish the firm’s early reputation for public service and trusted advocacy.

Over the decades, the firm evolved through successive generations of attorneys, reflected in its name changes—from Castor & Richards, to Richards, Adams & Boje, to Richards, Boje & Pickering, and later Richards, Boje, Pickering, Benner & Becker. Each era brought new leadership, expanded legal experience, and a continued focus on serving individuals, families, and businesses throughout Central Indiana.

The firm’s long-term home at 1312 Maple Avenue in Noblesville has become a familiar landmark for clients seeking experienced legal guidance. Through economic change, population growth, and an evolving legal landscape, the firm has remained a constant presence—adapting while never losing sight of its roots.

A Legacy Carried Forward by Today’s Partners

Today, Boje, Benner, Becker, Markovich & Hixson, LLP is led by six partners whose combined experience spans well over a century of legal practice. Many began their careers at the firm as clerks or associates, rising through the partnership and preserving institutional knowledge that benefits clients every day. This continuity is rare in modern legal practice and reflects the firm’s culture of mentorship, collaboration, and long-term commitment.

The partners are widely respected within the legal community, having served as presidents and officers of the Hamilton County Bar Association, as well as in other public and civic roles. Their leadership and courtroom experience translate into practical, strategic representation for clients facing serious legal challenges. Together, the partners represent a balance of seasoned judgment, trial-tested advocacy, and a deep understanding of the local courts and community.

Serving the Legal Needs of a Growing Community

Hamilton County is one of Indiana’s fastest-growing and most economically vibrant regions, home to established families, business owners, executives, professionals, and multi-generational enterprises. With that growth comes increasing demand for sophisticated legal services—particularly in areas involving complex finances, serious injuries, and high-stakes disputes.

Boje, Benner, Becker, Markovich & Hixson serves clients across Criminal Law, Family Law, High Net Worth and High Asset Divorce, Personal Injury and Wrongful Death, Business Law, Civil Litigation, Estates, Guardianships and Probate Law, and Real Estate Law. These practice areas reflect both the everyday legal needs of the community and the more complex matters that arise in a prosperous, evolving region.

Focused Experience Where It Matters Most

High Net Worth / High Asset Divorce has become an increasingly important area of focus for the firm. In Hamilton County, divorce often involves business ownership, professional practices, real estate portfolios, investments, retirement accounts, trusts, and inheritances. These cases demand careful planning, asset valuation, and strategic negotiation. The firm’s attorneys bring deep experience handling complex financial issues while protecting clients’ privacy and long-term financial security during what is often a deeply personal transition.

Similarly, Personal Injury & Wrongful Death representation remains a critical area of service and growth. Serious accidents and preventable tragedies can leave individuals and families facing overwhelming medical expenses, lost income, and emotional hardship. The firm’s attorneys have extensive experience advocating for injured clients and families, holding responsible parties accountable, and pursuing fair compensation—particularly when insurance companies seek to minimize claims.

Broad Practice, Personalized Representation

Beyond these key areas, the firm continues to provide trusted representation across its full range of practice areas. In Criminal Law, attorneys defend clients against misdemeanor and felony charges, protecting constitutional rights and working toward the best possible outcomes. In Family Law, they guide clients through divorce, custody, and related matters with an emphasis on stability and long-term solutions.

The firm also advises clients in Business Law and Civil Litigation, helping businesses and individuals manage disputes, protect financial interests, and resolve conflicts efficiently. Through Estates, Guardianships & Probate Law, attorneys assist families with planning for the future and navigating legal responsibilities during difficult times. In Real Estate Law, the firm helps clients protect significant investments amid continued residential and commercial growth in Central Indiana.

Looking Ahead to the Next Century

As Boje, Benner, Becker, Markovich & Hixson celebrates its 100th anniversary, the firm does so with gratitude for the generations of clients who have placed their trust in its attorneys. The firm’s history is defined not just by longevity, but by relationships—clients who return, families served across generations, and a community that knows where to turn when legal guidance matters most.

While honoring its past, the firm remains firmly focused on the future: expanding key practice areas, continuing its tradition of community involvement, and delivering experienced, common-sense legal counsel to the people of Hamilton County and Central Indiana. After a century of service, the mission remains the same—to provide skilled advocacy, personal attention, and lasting value to every client who walks through its doors.
