Frequently Asked Questions About DUI in Indiana

Facing a first-time DUI in Indiana can result in penalties such as fines ranging from $250–$500, license suspension for 90 days to 2 years, possible jail time up to 60 days, and probation with alcohol education or community service. The exact consequences depend on factors such as your BAC level, any aggravating circumstances, and whether an accident or injury occurred. With the right legal guidance, these penalties can often be minimized, and your rights protected throughout the process.

Yes, Indiana uses an administrative license suspension through the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV). Typically, your license can be suspended immediately for 30–90 days after a DUI arrest, even before court proceedings. A hearing can be requested to contest this suspension.

Probation for a first DUI typically lasts six months to two years and often includes alcohol education, counseling, and regular check-ins with a probation officer.

The cost of hiring a DUI lawyer in Indiana varies depending on the complexity of the case, ranging from $1,500–$3,500 for first offenses, while felony or complex cases may cost $4,000–$10,000 or more, with many attorneys offering free consultations.

Yes, a DUI can sometimes be reduced or dismissed, particularly if there are errors in BAC testing, improper traffic stops, or violations of your constitutional rights.

For a first-time DUI in Indiana, jail time is possible but not guaranteed. Many first offenses result in probation, fines, and license suspension instead of jail. Jail is more likely only if there are aggravating factors, such as high BAC levels, an accident causing injury, or refusal to submit to chemical testing. An experienced Indiana DUI attorney can guide you through the process, protect your rights, and work to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
