Frequently Asked Questions
Can DUIs be expunged in Indiana?
If the DUI resulted in a misdemeanor conviction, at least 5 years must have passed from the date of conviction. Additionally, the individual requesting the expunction must not have committed any other criminal offenses, and all court costs must be paid. A Level 6 felony DUI conviction may be expunged after 8 years have passed, again following the exact requirements that no more crimes be committed and being current on all fees. Other DUIs that resulted in serious bodily injury or death may not be eligible for expungement.
Who is required to place their name on the Indiana Sex or Violent Offender Registry?
State law requires individuals who have been convicted of specific sex crimes to place their names on the Indiana Sex or Violent Offender Registry. Some of the most common offenses that lead to mandatory registration include rape, child molestation, sexual battery, sex trafficking, incest, sexual battery, and child pornography convictions. Offenders must provide their full name, photo, date of birth, driver’s license, social security number, biometric information, and residential and mailing addresses. Failure to comply with regulations can result in the offender being arrested.
What type of compensation can I recover in a personal injury lawsuit?
One of the most critical questions on accident victim’s minds revolves around being able to collect compensation for their injuries. Indiana personal injury law allows accident victims to try and recover financial compensation for their injuries and other damages. Some of the most common damages awarded to injury victims include lost wages, compensation for medical bills and other related expenses, pain and suffering, permanent disfigurement and scarring, and property damages. However, any settlement obtained may vary depending on the case.
Are drug charges ever reduced or dismissed?
Individuals convicted of drug charges often face the possibility of being sentenced to a significant amount of prison and steep fines. However, having a skilled criminal defense attorney is critical to potentially reducing or dismissing the charges. A defense attorney has the experience to thoroughly analyze the state’s evidence to determine strengths and weaknesses in the case and negotiate on the defendant’s behalf. Often, in narcotics cases, it comes down to many complex legal details, such as whether the defendant had knowledge or control over the drugs.
Is there any way to have my name removed from the Indiana sex offender registry?
Having your name on the Indiana Sex and Violent Offender Registry can have harmful lifelong consequences. Registered sex offenders are limited as to where they can live and often have problems finding gainful employment. However, with the help of an experienced defense attorney, you may be able to petition to have your name removed if you meet specific legal qualifications. However, it is always best to hire an attorney who can determine if you qualify and help with the complex legal process of trying to have your name removed.
What happens if I refuse to give a breath test after being stopped for DUI?
Indiana law stipulates that those who operate a motor vehicle give implied consent to submit to chemical tests as a condition of having a driver’s license. However, individuals may refuse to take a breathalyzer and certified breath test. However, failure to comply can result in an individual having their driver’s license suspended for at least one year. Depending on the circumstances, an individual who has refused a breath test may be allowed to drive if their vehicle is equipped with an ignition interlock device.
How long does a family have to file a wrongful death claim in Indiana?
The Indiana statute of limitations allows families to file a wrongful death claim up to two years after their family member’s death. Failure to file a claim within the prescribed time limit will likely result in the case being thrown out in court. Once a case has been rejected, the family loses all legal recourse to try to recover compensation for the loss of their loved one. However, certain exceptions to Indiana’s statute of limitations may shorten or extend the time for filing a claim.
Do I have to hire an attorney to assist me with immigration matters?
No law requires you to hire an attorney to assist you with immigration matters. However, anyone applying for a green card, or any type of non-immigrant visa should always hire an immigration lawyer to assist them. Immigration issues can be overly complex due to constant changes in federal laws and require the help of a knowledgeable attorney. In many instances, individuals are anxious to have their family members join them in the U.S. Therefore, hiring an immigration lawyer can help you save significant time and money and help avoid unnecessary delays.
