Frequently asked questions
Same offense, Indiana's name: Operating While Intoxicated. A BAC of .08–.149 is a Class C misdemeanor; .15 or higher jumps to a Class A misdemeanor with up to a year of exposure. Endangerment and prior offenses escalate it further.
Because the case lives in the details — the stop's legality, certified test procedures, the fifteen-minute observation window, your record. An Indiana attorney has to review that file before any honest assessment of strategy or cost exists.
Refusal brings a one-year implied-consent suspension — two with a prior — that runs regardless of how the criminal case ends, and it can't be credited against a later conviction suspension. Refusal cases especially need early counsel.
Indiana courts can grant specialized driving privileges even during OWI suspensions in many circumstances — work, school, childcare. Petitioning for privileges is typically one of the first moves an attorney makes.
