34 criminal defence attorneys are listed in Indianapolis. Cases are heard in the Marion County criminal courts, with federal charges going to the Southern District of Indiana, which sits in the city.
Indiana's second-chance law is unusually generous by national standards: many convictions become eligible for expungement after a waiting period, and eligibility is generally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that has to be used correctly. Ask about it even if your case is old.
For a current charge, ask which court the case is in, how often the attorney appears there, and whether a problem-solving or diversion docket might apply.
