Attorneys Kevin Steele and Bryan Bott obtained a reversal of a court’s finding of contempt against their client, a financial institution.
On August 26, 2025, the Indiana Court of Appeals reversed a finding that the financial institution was in contempt due to the draining of a bank account by a guardian. The Court found that the trial court had abused its discretion by finding that the financial institution had willfully violated the trial court order. Additionally, the Court agreed that given the lack of clarity in the guardianship order and the erroneous letters of guardianship that the financial institution had not willfully disobeyed the trial court order and could not be held in contempt.
