Marc Lopez

If Attorney Marc Lopez could only use two words to describe his primary professional motivation, those words would be helping people. The only thing that makes him happier than assisting others is fighting injustice, and as a criminal defense lawyer, Attorney Lopez is able to combine his two passions into a single career.

In the words of your high school guidance counselor: “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” Measured by this standard, Attorney Lopez is always on vacation.

Before opening his own practice to begin his project of making the world a better place, one criminal defendant at a time, Attorney Lopez started his career in civil litigation. He enjoyed the work, but soon learned that sitting behind a desk on the phone wasn’t the best use of his talents. He needed to be in the courtroom.

After two years, he decided the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office was the best way to maximize his time in court. As a deputy prosecutor in Marion County, he worked his way from the bottom up to the highly-trained OVWI unit.

During that time, he handled thousands of criminal cases, many of which went to trial. This provided him with an invaluable foundation of courtroom experience. As a prosecutor, he 

learned the hard way to spot potential weaknesses in the State’s case. Unfortunately, he also learned what it felt like to bully people.

With non-DUI / OVWI crimes, Attorney Lopez was able to provide defendants with alternatives, some of which allowed for the case to be resolved without a life-altering conviction. With DUI / OVWI charges, however, he had no discretion.

At the time, the Prosecutor’s Office had a straightforward approach to DUI / OVWI: It’s better to go to trial and lose than to offer the defendant a favorable resolution. Attorney Lopez hated the thought of regular, hardworking people being saddled with a conviction because of a single mistake. This inflexible approach to DUI / OVWI charges started to make him feel like he was professionally obligated to kick people when they were down.

Attorney Marc Lopez has lab experience that most DUI attorneys do not.

In 2018 and 2019, he was featured at the Indiana Continuing Legal Education Forum‘s conference, teaching other local attorneys about DUI / OVWI law. He’s presented oral argument before the Indiana Court of Appeals, and he’s won the reversal of a trial court’s decision.

Because he holds himself to such a high standard, Attorney Marc Lopez has been compelled to learn pretty much everything there is to know about driving privileges in Indiana, including what to do when they’re suspended.

There’s no DUI / OVWI situation where Attorney Marc Lopez cannot help. He can’t promise to beat your case, but he can promise to fight like hell. Give him a call at 463-946-0521, or send him an email.

Is Attorney Marc Lopez a specialist in DUI / OVWI law?  

“Legal issues are generally stressful. I called Marc on suggestion of a close friend. Karla answered my call, she was so kind and understanding. I felt like I was talking to a friend. Marc listened to my case and immediately began to formulate the best approach. He was so supportive of my view points while staying grounded in what might be best for my life situation. So much so that he had me talk with his partner Matt, who has a much different energy (Marc felt a bit like the bulldog & Matt a kind fatherly figure, both necessary in this profession). Thank you for the consultation that kept my needs first and minimized my financial burdens. ” – Michelle O
