Noblesville Criminal Defense Attorneys
Defending Your Freedom in Hamilton County
If you were arrested, charged, or told you are under investigation in Hamilton County, do not face the criminal process alone. Our former prosecutors understand how the State builds cases and how to challenge the evidence against you.
Criminal Defense Focused on What Is at Stake
Were you arrested and charged with a crime in Hamilton County? Now is not the time to answer police questions or try to manage the case yourself. A conviction can threaten your freedom, license, employment, reputation, and family. You need counsel who understands the local court system, the prosecutors, and the rules governing the evidence.
Custom Law's Noblesville criminal defense attorneys investigate the charge, review how evidence was gathered, and identify every available path toward dismissal, reduction, acquittal, or mitigation. If the case moves forward, we prepare the strongest defense the facts and law support.
We defend people facing misdemeanors, felonies, federal cases, traffic offenses, OWI allegations, drug charges, theft, violent-crime accusations, domestic violence, sex offenses, weapons charges, juvenile matters, probation violations, and requests for specialized driving privileges.
Criminal Charges We Defend in Noblesville
Traffic, OWI, and License Cases
Traffic and OWI allegations can bring points, higher insurance costs, fines, driving restrictions, jail exposure, and license suspension. We examine the traffic stop, arrest, field observations, and chemical testing, and we pursue dismissal, amendment, or another result suited to the evidence. When a suspension interferes with work, parenting-time exchanges, medical appointments, or other obligations, we can evaluate eligibility for specialized driving privileges.
Drug, Theft, and Violent-Crime Allegations
We handle possession, manufacturing, dealing, trafficking, and paraphernalia cases involving marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, opioids, and other controlled substances. We also defend shoplifting, fraud, assault, battery, strangulation, kidnapping, manslaughter, murder, domestic violence, sex-crime, weapons, juvenile, federal, and probation allegations.
These cases can involve incarceration, fines, registration requirements, firearm restrictions, and lasting damage to employment and reputation. Early investigation can preserve evidence and expose weaknesses before they become harder to address.
Indiana Criminal Penalties and Lasting Consequences
Indiana misdemeanor and felony classifications carry increasingly serious sentencing ranges, with the following possible imprisonment and fine ranges:
- Class C misdemeanor: up to 60 days and a fine up to $500.
- Class B misdemeanor: up to 180 days and a fine up to $1,000.
- Class A misdemeanor: up to one year and a fine up to $5,000.
- Level 6 felony: six months to two and one-half years and a fine up to $10,000.
- Level 5 felony: one to six years and a fine up to $10,000.

A record can also affect employment, education, professional licenses, custody, international travel, housing, and lending. If you were arrested but not charged, found not guilty, convicted of a misdemeanor, or convicted of certain lower-level nonviolent felonies, we can evaluate whether Indiana expungement law may allow a petition to seal eligible records.
