Understanding DWI / OWI Charges in Indiana

In Indiana, “Operating While Intoxicated” (OWI) is the legal term, but most people refer to it as “DWI” or “DUI.” Regardless of terminology, the consequences are serious. Even a first-time offense can lead to:

  • Driver’s license suspension or revocation

  • Significant fines and court costs

  • Mandatory alcohol or drug education programs

  • Increased insurance rates

  • Jail time or probation

  • A permanent criminal record

Repeat offenders or cases involving injury, property damage, or minors face even harsher penalties. Working with a qualified DWI defense attorney early can make a significant difference in protecting your record and minimizing the damage to your life.

Building a Strong Defense Against DWI Charges

Every DWI or OWI case is unique, but each one demands careful investigation and preparation. Attorney Haskell’s background as a former prosecutor gives him an inside understanding of how evidence is collected and how to find weaknesses in the state’s case.

A solid defense strategy may include:

  • Reviewing police reports to ensure procedures were followed correctly

  • Challenging field sobriety and breathalyzer test accuracy

  • Determining whether the traffic stop was legal and based on probable cause

  • Identifying violations of your constitutional rights

  • Negotiating to reduce or dismiss charges when possible

  • Seeking limited driving privileges or license reinstatement

By combining knowledge of both sides of the courtroom with a focus on clear communication, Haskell Law works toward the best possible outcome for every client.
