Indiana has some of the most stringent drunk driving laws in the nation. For example, Indiana is one of only three states in which a second drunk driving offense is a felony requiring mandatory jail time. There are enhanced sanctions for offenders who register a high blood alcohol content (.15 or above). Operating a vehicle while intoxicated while a minor child is in the car is a class D felony. If you refuse the breathalyzer or other blood alcohol content test, your driver's license will be suspended for one year.

If you have been arrested for OVWI/DUI, please contact an OVWI lawyer at Allen Law Offices as soon as possible to protect your rights. Your initial consultation is free of charge. Since 1995, our OVWI lawyer has been helping people just like you in Merrillville, Valparaiso, and throughout northwest Indiana.

Our OVWI lawyers will work to get the charges against you dismissed or reduced. We will explore whether the police officer had probable cause for making the stop in the first place. We may also question whether the breathalyzer test was administered properly. We will work diligently to minimize any negative consequences to you, given the charges, and your prior record.
