Reckless Driving Charges
Reckless driving is more serious than a typical traffic ticket—it is a criminal misdemeanor in Indiana.
This charge may involve excessive speeding, unsafe lane changes, tailgating, or causing danger to others on the road. A conviction can mean:
-
Heavy fines and court costs
-
Jail time (up to 180 days for a Class B misdemeanor)
-
Suspension of your driver’s license
-
A permanent mark on your criminal record
Because of these penalties, reckless driving should never be taken lightly. Our Indianapolis reckless driving lawyer will carefully review your case and fight for the best possible outcome.
Hit and Run Defense
Leaving the scene of an accident, even a minor fender-bender, can result in serious legal consequences. Indiana law requires drivers to stop, provide information, and render aid when necessary.
Failure to do so can lead to misdemeanor or felony charges, depending on the circumstances. We defend clients accused of:
-
Failing to stop after an accident
-
Not reporting an accident with property damage
-
Hit and run involving injury or death
These cases often involve misunderstandings, fear, or miscommunication. We work to protect your rights and prevent a single mistake from defining your future.
OWI (Operating While Intoxicated)
An OWI in Indiana is one of the most serious traffic-related offenses. Depending on the situation, penalties can include:
-
Jail time
-
License suspension
-
Mandatory alcohol or drug programs
-
Installation of an ignition interlock device
-
Felony charges if injury or death is involved
At Hayes Law Office, we know how to challenge breath test results, field sobriety tests, and police procedures. Our goal is to minimize the impact of an OWI charge on your life and driving privileges.
Driving Without a License in Indiana
Driving without a valid license—whether suspended, revoked, or never issued—can lead to criminal charges in Indiana. Penalties vary depending on your driving history, but may include fines, extended suspension, and even jail time.
Our firm helps clients facing charges of:
-
Driving while suspended
-
Driving with an expired license
-
Driving without ever being licensed
