DUI Lawyer in Lake County, LaPorte County, & Northwest Indiana
At the Office of Alex Dominguez in Merrillville, IN, we aggressively represent individuals who have been charged with drunk driving, whether first-time defendants or repeat offenders. Our criminal defense lawyer handles all types of DUI, DWI, and OWI charges, from Class A misdemeanor charges resulting in up to a year in jail to felony charges carrying a three-year prison term.
When we go to work to defend your DUI charge in Merrillville or anywhere else in Indiana, we conduct a full investigation of the facts, the evidence, and the circumstances surrounding your arrest. We'll start with an examination of whether the police had probable cause to pull you over. Then, we will review the police record to make certain that you were properly advised of your rights and that field sobriety and blood alcohol tests were correctly administered.
In all Indiana DUI cases, our primary focus is the reduction or dismissal of charges. If we cannot get the case dismissed outright and have your suspended license reinstated, we will seek to negotiate a favorable plea bargain, including an agreement that results in probation rather than jail time, if possible. As part of these cases, substance abuse counseling is generally mandatory and/or part of an alternative disposition.
For more details, set up a time to talk with us. If you live in Merrillville or elsewhere in the state, we're ready to put you in a position to seek justice.
