Marshall Whalley

Marshall P. Whalley practices personal injury law in Crown Point, Indiana, with Marshall P. Whalley & Associates, P.C. Before entering law, he studied physics and psychology at the University of Michigan, completing his B.S. in 1980. Graduate work took him to Michigan’s Kresge Medical Hearing Research Institute, where he trained monitor lizards to respond to acoustic stimuli. He later received his J.D. from Valparaiso University in 1983.

His college years also included work outside the classroom and laboratory. In the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Consumer Protection Division, Whalley mediated consumer complaints; with a tenants’ rights group, he helped renters understand their rights in dealings with corporate landlords. Summers combined Michigan classes with assembly-line shifts at Chrysler and General Motors in Detroit. His jobs there included welding wheels, running presses and painting cars.

A clerkship brought him into a personal injury firm, first doing medical research, investigation and legal writing, then working as a lawyer and eventually a partner. His own attorney profile now names medical malpractice, wrongful death, products liability, asbestos and mesothelioma among his practice areas. It identifies him as a registered mediator and describes his judicial service as a former judge pro tempore.

The Indiana State Bar Association lists Whalley as active in good standing in a profile updated March 14, 2026. His firm biography records admissions to the supreme courts of Indiana, Illinois and Michigan, along with federal district courts in those states and North Dakota.
