Indiana OWI Defense Law Firm
Phone: 317-375-7718
Our office is located in the northern Indianapolis community of Noblesville, Indiana. Our OWI law firm is focused on providing clients drunk driving defense. OWI is the acronym for "operating while intoxicated." Sometimes OWI is also referred to as DWI (driving while intoxicated or imbibing) or DUI (driving under the influence).
In Indiana there is an implied consent that you will submit to chemical test if a police officer reasonably believes you may be operating your motor vehicle while intoxicated (under the influence of drugs or alcohol). A chemical test can be a blood test, a breath test, or a urine test. The most common chemical test is the breath test, using a breathalyzer. Failure to submit to a breathalyzer, or any other chemical test, will result in a one year driver's license suspension.
Failing a breathalyzer test (or other chemical test) will result in OWI charges. In addition, OWI charges can still be filed even if you refuse the chemical test or register a blood alcohol content (BAC) within the legal limit.
An OWI conviction can lead to stiff fines, loss of driving privilege, and increased insurance rates. An OWI conviction can also lead to jail time. Repeat offenders are more likely to receive jail time, although a judge has the discretion to levy jail time between 60 days and one year even for a first offense.
The Indiana law firm of Ronald S. Todd aggressively fights for your rights. We understand how to evaluate your case. We are always aggressive, whether we are negotiating a plea agreement on your behalf, challenging evidence in a pre-trial hearing, or defending you at trial.
