Indianapolis Area OWI and DUI Defense Lawyers
Increased attention to enforcement of drunk driving laws and punishment of offenders is noticeable in the language people use to describe the charges. Indiana law is strict and complex in its drunk driving laws, but one thing is certain: whether we call it OVWI, OWWI, OWI, DUI or DWI, a drunk driving charge stopped resembling a "traffic ticket" decades ago.
Even if this is your first offense, you were barely over the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit or no one was injured, you should talk to an experienced defense attorney. If you have other offenses on your record or are facing a more serious charge, this step may be critical to protecting your freedom, livelihood and future.
