If the police violated your rights or used faulty equipment, we might be able to get your case dismissed. If not, we’ll work to reduce your charges and shield you from jail time, heavy fines and the loss of your driving privileges. We can also protect your driving privileges and clean up your record with an expungement or record sealing. A traffic violation attorney who knows the process can help you make the best of this early opportunity to get your license back right away.

Getting a Specialized Driving permit

Our OWI lawyers do what they can to get you a conditional license so you can get back on the road and keep moving on with your life. New Indiana guidelines apply effective July 1st, 2021.
