Yosha is a partner at the Indianapolis firm of Yosha Law, Injury & Accident Lawyers, in Indiana, where he is committed to representing victims of negligence. He has experience handling a variety of personal injury matters from car and truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents to catastrophic injuries, explosion injuries and wrongful deaths.
Recognized as one of the youngest attorneys in The Best Lawyers in America, Mr. Yosha infuses his family’s respected legal legacy with his personal commitment to justice for his clients.

Mr. Yosha is deeply focused on securing just outcomes for his clients, rather than pursuing personal accolades or record-breaking jury verdicts.

This philosophy guides his relentless pursuit of favorable outcomes for all his clients.
Beyond the courtroom, Mr. Yosha’s academic credentials are equally notable. He began his higher education at the University of Miami School of Business, followed by studies at Lehigh University College of Business and Economics, where he majored in marketing and was a lettered football player. He then went on to earn his Juris Doctor from Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in 2019.
Rated “Very Good” on Avvo, Mr. Yosha’s commitment extends beyond achieving fair compensation; he is dedicated to personally engaging with each client, ensuring that they are not reduced to mere case numbers. This personalized approach is a testament to the lessons learned from both his father, one of Indiana’s most esteemed attorneys, and his mentor.

Verdicts / Settlements (Case Results)
- Simmons v. Indianapolis Power & Light Co. The case centered around Wayne Simmons, who to this day describes himself as a “union carpenter,” according to Tisch. Simmons hasn’t been able to work in his profession, however, since 2014. That year, Simmons worked for Sterling Boiler & Mechanical, a contractor hired for maintenance work at the IPL Petersburg plant. Simmons and another worker were dispatched to the plant to excavate a designated area that would be filled with concrete and used as a footing for construction of a large hydrogen tank. IPL issued a dig permit to Simmons, which Tisch said was essentially a “green light” to start his work. The permit was meant to certify that there were no live electrical lines where the dig would occur. However, according to Cook, the employee in charge of researching the area for the dig permit decided it was not necessary to use locating devices to check for electrical lines. That employee based his opinion on a drawing of the area, Cook said — an incorrect drawing that reflected no live lines. But as Simmons used his jackhammer on the site, he struck a 4,160-volt electrical line. The ensuing explosion sent Simmons flying back, and within four days he began to develop neurological symptoms. It’s been six years since that day, and Simmons’ symptoms persist, the lawyers said. In addition to being permanently disabled due to chronic pain, Simmons has been to hundreds of medical appointments, has had several infusions, takes regular pain medication and has even had three spinal stimulators implanted to help with his pain. Simmons has also lost the ability to participate in his favorite activities, such as hunting, fishing and a family favorite, horseback riding. His wife, Amy, also suffered a loss of consortium. Having officially joined the Indiana bar on Sept. 21, Brandon Yosha was nervous and excited as he stood to deliver his opening argument on Oct. 27. He’s wanted to be a trial lawyer since his first day at Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law, following in the footsteps of his father, Buddy. To prepare for his trial debut, Brandon said there were many late nights spent rehearsing and preparing with Tisch. In addition to delivering part of opening statements, the younger Yosha also delivered part of the closing argument and performed the direct examination of Amy Simmons. He got to know the clients, he said, visiting their home and forming a personal connection. When the verdict came down, Brandon said he was “extremely humbled” to be part of a successful trial so early in his career., 2020
- Revell et al v. Weinstein Buddy Yosha, his son Brandon Yosha, and the brain trust of Bryan Tisch and Rich Cook received a gross verdict $2,183,200 out of Marion Superior Court 1, Judge Dreyer presiding. Mediation was short-lived as Defendant offered $300,000. Plaintiff, Jessica Revell, and her 7-year-old son, Sam, were struck and alleged Defendant ran a red light. Liability was disputed although Defendant, on the scene, told the police officer the light was red when she entered the intersection yet later changed her testimony. Plaintiff’s testimony was that her last memory was that the light was green, but she had no memory of the crash. Evidence revealed that while on the scene, Plaintiff asked the police officer if it was her fault. There were no eyewitnesses or video. Brandon closed the case, presenting a compelling and focused 38-minute closing argument that included PowerPoint images and limited video clips. At the beginning of his closing statement, Brandon dealt specifically with the issue of sympathy for the young defendant female driver who provides social work services to the elderly and disabled. Brandon focused on the Court’s jury instructions addressing this point., 2022
