A first-time DUI in Indiana comes with serious consequences, starting with an automatic license suspension if blood alcohol content is 0.08 or higher. Legal representation may be able to help secure specialized driving privileges and will help to navigate the complex court process, which varies by county. Sentencing ranges from misdemeanors, with potential jail time of up to 365 days, to felonies carrying more severe penalties.
Refusing chemical tests results in longer suspensions and limited driving options. Aggravating factors, such as a car crash or high BAC levels, can increase penalties. With extensive DUI defense experience, including former DUI prosecutors, our firm takes proactive steps to protect your rights and minimize the impact on your life.
