OUI Defense – How DelSignore Law Can Help

The loss of driving privileges, jail time & heavy fines are just the beginning when you’re convicted of OUI in Massachusetts. You may also lose your job, reputation & relationships. This is why it’s crucial that you hire the right lawyer to defend you. An experienced attorney will have a variety of defenses available to minimize your punishment.

A skilled OUI lawyer will be able to engage the prosecutor in strategic negotiation, potentially resulting in a lesser penalty such as reduced fines or enrollment in alcohol education programs instead of a jail sentence. They will also be able to assist you in challenging your license suspension, which can keep you from having to endure a long period without a vehicle and help your family & work life stay on track.

Defending Your First Offense
If this is your first time being charged with an OUI, you will receive an official notice from the court with details of your charges and a date for your initial court appearance (also known as an arraignment). It’s important to remember that just because you have been arrested doesn’t mean you are guilty. In order to be convicted of OUI, the Commonwealth needs to prove each element beyond a reasonable doubt.

As with other criminal charges, there are many legal defenses to OUI, including questioning the validity of breathalyzer test evidence. Through motion hearings, DelSignore Law attorneys can attempt to have the breath test evidence excluded from your trial and, in many cases, this will lead to a dismissal of the OUI charge. OUI Defense
