These cases are some of the most contentious in Indiana. The Marc Lopez Law Firm has successfully defended clients charged with felony and misdemeanor domestic violence.

The Marc Lopez Law Firm has successfully obtained Specialized Driving Privileges for clients with suspended licenses, and it has also had success with getting felony charges reduced to a misdemeanor.
Other Crimes
