Profile
Indiana’s Premier DUI Defense Expert
Driving under the influence (DUI) charges involve complex scientific evidence that most general attorneys are not equipped to challenge. Rathburn Law Office is a highly specialized criminal defense firm in Indianapolis, Indiana, focusing almost exclusively on OWI/DUI defense. Founder Charles Rathburn is not just an attorney; he is a nationally recognized expert on breath testing machines and field sobriety tests. Located in the Castleton area on Wallingwood Drive, the firm provides elite defense for individuals whose driving privileges and freedom are on the line. If you are looking to hire a lawyer who trains other attorneys and judges on the science of drunk driving cases, Charles Rathburn is the authority you need.
Scientific Approach to Defense
The firm’s success is built on a deep technical understanding of how the state proves intoxication. Mr. Rathburn’s expertise includes:
- DUI/OWI Defense: Challenging the validity of traffic stops, field sobriety tests, and chemical test results.
- Breath Test Expert: Mr. Rathburn is qualified as an expert witness on the DataMaster family of breath testing instruments used by Indiana police. He knows how these machines work-and how they fail.
- Blood Analysis: Utilizing his training in phlebotomy and lab procedures to identify errors in blood draws and testing protocols.
- License Restoration: assisting clients in obtaining specialized driving privileges and navigating the BMV administrative process.
A Leader in the Field
Charles Rathburn stands apart from other defense attorneys due to his extensive credentials. He has been practicing since 1991 and is one of the few lawyers in the country who is also a certified breath test operator and instructor. He regularly teaches at seminars, instructing other legal professionals on how to cross-examine police officers and challenge forensic evidence. Unlike firms that bill by the hour, Rathburn Law Office often uses flat fees, providing clients with financial predictability during a stressful time. When you find an attorney with this level of scientific mastery, you are leveling the playing field against the state’s resources. His goal is to dissect the prosecution’s case piece by piece to secure a dismissal or reduction of charges.
