Why This Firm

Banks & Brower is one of Indianapolis's go-to criminal defense firms — a team of former Marion County prosecutors who now use that insider knowledge on the defense side. The firm focuses on OWI / DUI, drug charges, domestic battery, weapons offenses, and serious felonies. They're available around the clock because arrests don't happen on a 9-to-5 schedule, and the first 24 hours after an arrest matter for bond, evidence, and police questioning. Reviews emphasize calm, plain-English advice during a terrifying experience, and a track record of negotiated reductions and dismissals where the facts support it. If you've been arrested or charged in Marion or Hamilton County, this is one of the firms to call first.

Client Reviews

★★★★★

"I was arrested for OWI on a Saturday night in Broad Ripple. Called Banks & Brower at 2 a.m. and someone answered. By Monday morning we had a plan, and they got the charge reduced to reckless driving."

Tyler M., Indianapolis OWI / DUI
★★★★★

"Charged with felony drug possession in Marion County. The team explained every option, negotiated with the prosecutor, and got the charge dropped to a misdemeanor. Saved my career."

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I call a lawyer immediately after an OWI arrest in Indiana?
Yes. Indiana has a separate administrative license suspension that begins quickly after a refusal or failed test. The first 10 days are critical for protecting your driving privileges, and decisions made in the first 24 hours can shape the entire case.
Are the attorneys at Banks & Brower really former prosecutors?
Yes. Both founding partners served as deputy prosecutors before going into defense. That background is valuable in negotiations because they know how the other side evaluates and tries cases.
How does Banks & Brower charge for criminal cases?
Most criminal defense matters are handled on a flat fee basis. The fee depends on the charge, complexity, and whether the case goes to trial. The firm explains the fee structure clearly during the free consultation.
Will a criminal conviction affect my Indiana driver's license?
It can. OWI convictions trigger automatic license suspensions. Some drug and reckless driving offenses do as well. A specialized driving privileges petition may be available depending on the case.
