College Student Criminal Defense
If you're a college student who has been arrested for a crime, it is crucial that you seek the services of an experienced lawyer immediately. Your future could be at risk.

Brinkley Law can represent your interests and seek a resolution that minimizes the impact and could even allow for expungement of any criminal record.
Probation and Parole Violation Defense
The consequences for even the slightest violation of probation or parole can carry harsh penalties.

Brinkley Law has experience helping clients avoid severe punishments for their probation violations. Brinkley Law will fight to make sure you get the justice you deserve. Contact our office to get help with your case before it's too late.
Traffic OFFENSES
The typical response to getting a driving ticket is to pay the fee. However, most traffic tickets actually count towards demerits on your driver's license, and tend to stay on your driving record for a long time, if not permanently. These tickets can leave a negative impression on insurance providers and potential employers. Dealing with traffic tickets with the help of a qualified traffic lawyer should be conducted immediately to avoid these future hassles.
Driver's License Suspension
It is difficult to imagine surviving in society without a car. So when you get notice that your driver's license will be revoked or suspended, the news is devastating and you need to contact an experienced license suspension attorney immediately. How will you get to work or school? To the doctor or dentist? Do your shopping? Visit friends? Take your children where they need to go? If it is your commercial driver’s license that is being taken away, your very employment and security are at risk. Contact our office immediately to get help with your driver's license suspension.
Sentence Modification
Are you or someone you know currently serving a sentence incarcerated at the Indiana Department of Correction, local county jail, work release, electronic home detention, or on probation?

Expungement
Everyone, whether a minor or adult, makes mistakes in life. Sometimes, those mistakes involve the commission of a crime and, with that, the establishment of a criminal record. That record can create many problems in a person’s professional and personal life, which is why former offenders pursue a petition to seal or expunge their criminal records.

Brinkley Law understands the procedures and legal processes involved in obtaining an Order to Seal or Expunge your criminal record. Brinkley Law is committed to achieving positive results for our clients, whether they are an adult or a juvenile pursuing a fresh start in life.
