Services
If you have questions about a criminal case in Indianapolis or Indiana, call me at 317-695-7700 for a free consultation. I have been a criminal defense attorney in Indiana for my entire legal career and have well over a decade of experience. I also teach criminal law at the IU School of Law. As a criminal attorney, I have represented persons accused of a wide variety of crimes, ranging from murder to minor possession of alcohol.
Expungement of your criminal record under the Indiana Second Chance law has become much easier in recent years. We offer a MONEY BACK GUARANTEE on most expungements. For the majority of expungements, no court appearance or office visit is necessary and we offer affordable prices. I have practiced criminal defense my entire career, teach criminal law at the IU School of Law, and have personally handled thousands of cases.
If you have questions about Forfeiture law, please call me for a free consultation. I filed the Federal Class Action lawsuit of Washington v. Marion County Prosecutor, challenging Indiana's vehicle forfeiture seizure law. The Federal Judge agreed with my position, ruling that the Indiana forfeiture statute was unconstitutional, under the Due Process clause of the US Constitution.
42 USC § 1983 allows an individual to bring a lawsuit against a government actor who has violated the individual's constitutional rights. 1983 civil rights cases often allege excessive force, false arrest, delayed release, or illegal searches but can also involve the violation of other constitutional rights, such as the right to free speech or due process.
If you are in need of a criminal defense attorney, expungement lawyer, forfeiture attorney, or civil rights lawyer, please call me at 317-695-7700 for a free consultation to discuss your case or schedule an online appointment. I have personally handled thousands of criminal cases. I will explain the law to you, listen to your goals, and discuss different options that are available to you.

I never have never met Mr. Cardella yet, and hoping to do so after everything is complete, or my next visit to see family in Indiana. I contacted The Law Office of Jeff Cardella a few months ago about getting my Criminal Record Expunged for a few reasons: "Freedom" that I haven't had for several years, being able to travel outside the States for my Employer (or visitation), better employment opportunities and hopefully getting my gun rights restored for hunting and hobby. "It's been years since I've been Deer and Pheasant hunting." Mr. Cardella is a caring Person, straight to the point and didn

I would highly recommend Jeff Cardella as an expungement lawyer. He helped me clean up my record that consisted of cases in multiple counties over several years. He was responsive to all my questions and concerns. He was comparably priced.

I was in a bit of a pickle, and I figured I could use a lawyer to help me through it. Jeff was a little out of my price range, but even though him and I came to that conclusion relatively quickly, he still spent maybe half an hour on the phone with me, looking into my case, telling me how the judge was who would hear it, explaining to me the differences between a court trial and a jury trial, what I was looking at in the best case and in the worst case scenarios, etc. I normally have to talk to like 2 assistants before most lawyers will even pick up the phone to call me. At one point in our conversation

I don't even know what to say. Literally feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I can finally start my journey of becoming a new free man! I seriously couldn't have done it without the help of Mr. Cardella. Professional, professional, professional. Incredibly friendly, knows what he's doing and will help you to the best of his abilities, and extremely quick to respond. I don't think I'll ever get in trouble again (especially in Indiana), but if some bad luck comes my way, I know exactly who to call: the Law Office of Jeff Cardella Criminal Defense Attorney & Expungement Lawyer

I am so blessed to have had Jeff Cardella in my corner first as my criminal lawyer and expungement lawyer. I was so afraid and worried of what my outcome might be, but he and his team kept me calm and informed. I can’t be more thankful to Mr. Cardella after my case was DROPPED! I appreciate all the hard and tedious work that went in to my case and definitely will be recommending his team to anyone in need. If you are in need of a professional criminal lawyer or expungement lawyer, Jeff Cardella is the best for the job.
