Blankenship Law, LLC is an Indiana criminal defense firm serving clients from offices in Carmel and Valparaiso. The firm focuses exclusively on criminal defense and is led by founder and managing attorney Eric Blankenship, a former prosecutor who spent 17 years prosecuting cases before entering defense practice. He has handled more than 100 court and jury trials, giving the firm strong courtroom experience. The team emphasizes strategic preparation, direct communication, and individualized defense for clients facing charges that can affect freedom, employment, family, and reputation.
Blankenship Law, LLC handles DUI and OWI, expungements, domestic violence, drug crimes, violent crimes, sex crimes, theft, robbery, burglary, homicide, fraud, solicitation, gun crimes, white-collar crimes, college student defense, probation violations, reckless driving, and disorderly conduct. The firm’s attorneys draw on former prosecutorial experience to anticipate how the state may build a case, identify weaknesses in evidence, and prepare tailored defense strategies. Clients can contact the firm day or night for a confidential case review and guidance after an arrest or criminal accusation.
Blankenship Law, LLC has secured favorable outcomes across serious criminal matters. In one LaPorte County robbery case, the firm exposed inconsistencies in the alleged victim’s account and obtained dismissal of the Level 5 felony charge. In another LaPorte County matter, all charges for unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon were dismissed after the state could not establish possession. The firm also helped a first-time OWI client avoid an OWI conviction by securing a reckless-driving plea with six months of probation.
Blankenship Law, LLC combines courtroom experience with a defense approach shaped by former prosecutors who understand how criminal cases are investigated, charged, and negotiated. Eric Blankenship’s prosecutorial career and extensive trial background provide added insight into state strategy, while attorneys Kevin Kelly and Alec Baker expand the firm’s defense team. The practice serves clients through its Carmel and Valparaiso offices and offers 24/7 contact for people facing urgent criminal matters. Its focus remains on protecting rights, challenging weak evidence, and pursuing reduced charges, dismissals, or other favorable resolutions.
