Legal Ramifications

What follows are the potential legal ramifications of a dui arrest in the State of Indiana. Please know that although the standard laws are provided, Stark DUI Lawyers takes pride in often being able to reduce or eliminate such penalties altogether on a case by case basis.

In a first-time DUI case one arrested for an Indiana owi may pay up to $5,000 in fines and court costs, lose a driver’s license in an administrative action by the BMV for a minimum of 180 days, with later court suspension for up to 2 years. Probation may last for up to one year.

A second offense will result in a minimum of 5 days in jail up to 2 and 1/2 years, fines of up to $10,000, probation of up to 2 and 1/2 years, and a license suspension of up to 2 and 1/2 years. Other possible penalties may include the installation and maintenance of an ignition interlock device at your own expense, substance abuse education, community service, and attendance at a victim’s panel. Subsequent convictions will result in more severe penalties.
