Indianapolis DUI Attorney
Indiana OVWI/DUI/DWI Defense Lawyer
Operating a vehicle while intoxicated (also known as driving under the influence or driving while intoxicated) is a serious criminal charge in Indiana. You face suspension of your driver's license, fines and jail time or community service.
The true cost of an OVWI/DUI/DWI can be many thousands of dollars. It can also result in job loss, since you need your car to drive to work. Some people who have had their driver's license suspended or can't afford high-risk insurance choose to drive anyway. If you are caught driving without a valid license, you could face more serious criminal charges.
To protect your future, you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible after your OVWI/DUI arrest. I offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
OVWI/DUI/DWI Defenses
- Was the stop legal? As your lawyer, I will interview the police officer and any witnesses to find out if the police had a legal reason to stop you and probable cause to arrest you on drunk driving charges. The police cannot stop you just because they do not like the way you look, and they cannot arrest you unless they have probable cause.
- Was the breath test accurate? I will investigate the certification of the officer performing the Breathalyzer test and the calibration of the machine to make sure the blood alcohol content (BAC) results were accurate.
- Alcohol treatment programs. If you are planning to plead guilty, you may get more favorable treatment from the judge if you voluntarily enter alcohol treatment before you go to court.
Drinking and driving is a serious crime. As your lawyer, I will protect your rights to the fullest extent of the law.
