DUI in Indiana
Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs in Indiana is officially referred to as “operating a vehicle while intoxicated” (OWI). Depending on certain factors, you can be charged with a Class C to a Class A misdemeanor or a felony in DUI cases.
The factors that will determine the type of charge you face can include:
- Whether this is a first, second, or subsequent DUI
- Your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level
- Whether you were found driving with a minor in the car when arrested
- Whether your DUI incident involved serious injury or death to another
If your BAC measured .08 percent up to .14 percent, it will be considered a Class C misdemeanor. If your BAC measured .15 percent or higher, you will be charged with a Class A misdemeanor.
Penalties of a first offense can include up to two years of probation, fines ranging from $500 up to $5,000, jail time of up to a year, a license suspension of up to two years, court costs and fees, completion of a substance abuse education program, and participation at a victim impact panel.
Subsequent offenses will result in increased fines, potential jail time, license suspension, probation, and more.
DUI Defenses
Even if you tested over the legal limit, defenses exist against a DUI charge. Our experienced DUI defense lawyer can offer a vigorous defense on your behalf.
We will investigate your case and ask these and other vital questions:
- Did the officer have sufficient cause to stop your vehicle?
- Did the officer properly administer the breath test?
- Were you properly advised of your rights?
- Was testing equipment properly calibrated and maintained?
After fully investigating the facts of your case through the process of discovery, we will give you a candid assessment of where you stand and your chances of success at trial. If you wish to take your case to trial, we will be prepared to aggressively defend your rights in court. If you prefer to seek a plea agreement, we will negotiate on your behalf with the prosecution to seek an agreement that will minimize your exposure to adverse penalties. In some instances, cases may be thrown out based on certain facts and circumstances.
