I was elected Lake County Sheriff in 2002 and I took my oath of office on January 1, 2003. I was the only elected Sheriff of Lake County with a Juris Doctorate and only one of seven nationwide. My experience in law enforcement first as an Indiana State Trooper, Public Defender, and Deputy Prosecutor prepared me well for the challenges and duties of a Sheriff. At the Indiana State Police Academy I was awarded the Donald Flint Award for being first in my class.
My short stint as a steelworker at Inland Steel as an Apprentice Millwright equipped me for the challenges in college earning my Bachelor's Degree in Sociology from Indiana University NWI and my Juris Doctorate from Valparaiso University.
My legal experience has been in Personal Injury, Family Law, Juvenile and Criminal Law. My court practice includes the United States District Court, Northern District of Indiana, the United States District Court, the Southern District of Indiana, the Indiana State Supreme Court, and the United States Supreme Court in Washington, D.C.
I was Legal Counsel for the Lake County Assessor's Office, Special Counsel for the Indiana Department of Revenue, Corporate Counsel for the City of East Chicago, and School Corporation Counsel for the River Forest Community School Corporation in Hobart. I served as Chairman of the Board and then Administrative Law Judge of the of the Indiana Workers' Compensation Board in Indianapolis.

Criminal / Drug Defense Lawyer Roy Dominguez
Bad acts don't make us bad people. All of us, at one time or another, have done something we're not proud of. Sometimes we don't get caught, or it doesn't have significant consequences. Other times, it can lead to some serious trouble. Whether you made a bad choice or been falsely accused, we can help.
DUI / OWI Defense - Attorney Roy Dominguez
At the Law Office of Roy Dominguez, we represent you vigorously, requiring that the state meet its burden of proof. We investigate your case, and work with you to counter all charges against you. We know that people make mistakes, we know that sometimes you are just guilty of being in the wrong place at the wrong time
Personal Injury Lawyer Roy Dominguez
If you've been injured, you are undoubtedly worried and frightened. You may be wondering how you will provide for your family and how you will cover medical bills until you return to work. If the injury is extremely serious, you may be concerned about being able to work at all in the future.
