Valparaiso Mayor Jon Costas left a mammoth Indianapolis law firm to return home to Northwest Indiana, a career turn his mentor and former boss says has made him a strong candidate for Indiana attorney general.

Robert Grand is the managing partner for the Indianapolis office of Barnes & Thornburg, the largest law firm in Indiana. It’s where Costas landed as a litigation attorney after graduating Valparaiso University School of Law in 1989.

“He did extraordinarily well in law school, obviously,” Grand said. “And if you interview with him, I think it becomes pretty apparent that he’s a hell of a guy.”

Costas said he stayed with Barnes & Thornburg less than three years before yearning to return home to Valparaiso, where he would go on to become a city councilman and mayor. Last week he announced plans to seek the Republican nomination for attorney general.

Grand, a Munster High School graduate and top GOP fundraiser, said the experience Costas has acquired would serve him well as the state’s top lawyer.

“He’s going to be managing one of the largest law firms in downtown Indianapolis (as attorney general),” Grand said. “I think that skill set is an executive skill set, and it’s an ability to recognize and identify problems. And I think that’s where he’s fantastic.”
