Attorney Ben Caughey of Indianapolis; repeat convicted drunk

 

The state of Indiana provided Ben Tyler Caughey with a law license in 2001 after he graduated from Indiana University School of Law.

 

The Indiana Disciplinary Commission found Benny guilty of the following misconduct.

  • Pled guilty to operating a vehicle while intoxicated (DUI)
  • Convicted of endangering a person while driving under the influence
  • Had a prior drunk driving conviction within five years
  • DUI and endangering originally entered as a Level 6 felony
  • Level 6 felony subsequently reduced to a misdemeanor
  • Benny’s sentence included probation and electronic home monitoring
  • Since being placed on probation, Benny twice violated his probation by consuming alcohol
  • Committed criminal act adversely reflecting on fitness to practice

After Benny’s first violation, the trial court continued his probation with certain added conditions (required to attend Mel Gibson Institute for Boozers located in West Hollywood).  After second violation, trial court revoked Benny’s probation and sentenced him to five days in jail.

 

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Indiana Supreme Court punished Benny by gifting him with a complimentary 90-day suspension of his law license.

 

 

And lastly,as one would suspect, Benny fails to mention the above misconduct on his self-serving website at www.merchocaughey.com.  Apparently, he chose to conceal this relevant information from prospective clients for the purpose of not limiting his future victim pool.

 

As we speak (ca. February 2024), Benny practices with Mercho Caughey & Delay at 828 East 64th Street in Indianapolis, Indiana.
