Criminal Defense Attorney in Rensselaer, Indiana

DUI & OWI

Indiana's drunk driving laws carry harsh penalties, including license suspension, jail time, and steep fines. We challenge field sobriety tests, breathalyzer results, and blood tests. Our attorneys examine every detail of your traffic stop to find weaknesses in the prosecution's case. We handle SR22 insurance requirements, license reinstatement hearings, and specialized driving privilege applications.

Drug Crimes

From simple possession to trafficking charges, drug cases require knowledgeable defense. We defend clients facing marijuana possession, prescription fraud, methamphetamine charges, and interstate drug trafficking allegations. Our attorneys challenge illegal searches, question the chain of custody, and negotiate for treatment programs when appropriate.

Violent Crimes

Assault, battery, domestic violence, and homicide charges demand immediate action. We investigate the circumstances surrounding your arrest, interview witnesses, and build your defense from the ground up. Many violent crime cases involve self-defense claims or mistaken identity. We know how to present these defenses effectively.

Sex Crimes

These sensitive cases require attorneys who understand both the legal and personal implications. We defend clients against rape charges, sexual battery, child molestation allegations, and sex offender registration violations. Our approach balances aggressive defense with discretion and respect for everyone involved.

Property Crimes

Theft, burglary, trespassing, vandalism, and property damage charges may seem straightforward, but the penalties can be severe. We examine the evidence, challenge identification procedures, and explore alternative resolutions that keep convictions off your record when possible.

White Collar Crimes

Embezzlement, fraud, identity theft, and public corruption cases involve voluminous records and financial analysis. Our attorneys dig through the evidence, consult with financial specialists, and build comprehensive defenses against white-collar charges at both the state and federal levels.

Gun Crimes

Indiana's firearm laws contain numerous restrictions and exceptions. We defend clients facing illegal possession charges, carrying without a license, and weapons-related felonies. We also assist with the restoration of firearms rights after criminal convictions.

Federal Crimes

Federal charges bring the resources of the U.S. government against you. Our attorneys have experience in federal court, handling cases involving federal sentencing guidelines, federal investigations, and complex federal offenses. Federal cases require attorneys who understand the difference between state and federal procedure.

Traffic Ticket Offenses

Speeding tickets, reckless driving, and license suspensions can affect your ability to work and support your family. We help clients resolve traffic matters and handle CDL issues for professional drivers.

Juvenile Crimes

Young people make mistakes. We provide compassionate representation for minors facing criminal charges, working closely with families to protect children's futures while holding them accountable in age-appropriate ways.

Probation Violations

Alleged probation violations can send you to jail quickly. We represent clients at violation hearings, challenge allegations, and present evidence of compliance to keep you out of custody.

Expungement

A criminal record follows you for life — unless you take action. We guide clients through the expungement process to clear their records, opening doors to employment, housing, and education opportunities.
