Easthampton
1. Joseph Chancellor: DUI/DWI - If you have been cited for DUI/DWI, you should know that the law gives serious consequences upon conviction. And these punishments drunk driving are even more severe for repeat offenders. A DUI sentence may require you to pay a substantial fine, serve some time in jail, or both. In addition to any fines or jail time, your driver's license may be suspended, even if it is your first offense. You will have to find alternate transportation and go through considerable effort to regain your driving privileges after a drunk driving conviction. To add insult to injury, many insurance companies will drop your motor vehicle coverage if you get a DUI. The companies that will insure you will only do so at a greatly increased premium. It is easy to see how important it is to protect your rights - and to do that, you need a lawyer who will work to stop these consequences from becoming reality.
Duxbury
1. Collen Carroll: Most OUI, (operating while under the influence of intoxicating liquor) cases begin with a stop of a motor vehicle by a police officer. In most cases, once the officer has stopped your vehicle, he/she has already made the decision to arrest you, regardless of what you say or your performance of any field sobriety tests.

Leominster
1. Roncone Law Offices: Many aspects of criminal law focus on the rights of the criminal. However, recent attention has been focused on the rights of the victims of crimes, who often suffer great emotional, if not physical, injuries at the hands of the criminal. All fifty states and the federal government now have laws that protect victims. In many states, a victim is considered to be the person who directly suffers the effects of the crimes (such as the person who is murdered) and immediate family members who suffer the secondary effects of the crime (such as the loss of a loved one).

1. Rubin, Weisman, Colasanti, Kajko & Stein: If you have been arrested, charged with a crime under the laws of Massachusetts or federal law, or are under investigation for a criminal offense, you need and deserve a criminal defense lawyer with the skill and experience to provide strong representation and sound counsel.

1. Lewin & Lewin: OUI / DUI drunk driving penalties grow harsher with each passing year, if for no other reason, than passing "tougher" drunk driving laws is an easy way for legislators to gain political capital with their constituents. As a result, a person convicted on a first offense for OUI / DUI may now face a maximum two-and-a-half year jail term, $5,000 fine, and one-year loss of their license. * DUI / drunk driving - First offenses * DUI / drunk driving - Multiple offenses (2nd, 3rd, 4th, and more) * Melanie's Law cases * Hardship licenses / RMV hearings / Board of Appeals hearings * Felony DUI cases involving serious injuries or death * Vehicular homicide cases Although it may seem like a failed blood or breath test is irrefutable, this is not always the case and in fact, challenging the test results themselves is only one of many ways to challenge evidence in a DUI case. Probable cause, police procedures, testing equipment, and police testimony all require careful examination. If we are able to establish that mistakes were made or that there are inconsistencies present—our chances of securing an acquittal, or dismissal of the charges against you are good.
Marlborough
1. Stephen Morte: Examples of the types of cases... ...Operating under the influence of alcohol cases. When you face legal challenges and need an attorney, you expect and deserve competence, experience, and commitment concerning your legal matter, and promptness, respect and information in regard to client service.

1. John Fernandes: If there were no bad people, there would be no good lawyers.
2. DeCapua Lawfirm: The Commonwealth must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant operated a motor vehicle on a public way (or a way to which the public has a right of access) while under the influence of intoxicating liquor. The Commonwealth does not have to prove that you were drunk. Rather, they must show, once again beyond a reasonable doubt, that you possessed a diminished capacity to operate your car.
Milton

1. Jason Gates: Regardless of how minor a criminal violation may appear, an arrest and conviction on criminal charges can result in serious consequences.

1. Michael Zawadzkas: There are a wide range of field sobriety tests (FSTs), "including heel-to-toe, finger to nose, one leg stand, alphabet recitation, modified position of attention. You are not legally required to take any FSTs. The reality is that officers have usually made up their minds to arrest when they give the FSTs; the tests are simply additional evidence which the suspect 'inevitable "fails"; Thus, in most cases a polite refusal may be appropriate.

You may lose important rights and privileges, such as voting and driving; you could lose your job or forfeit future employment opportunities.

You must be protected by an attorney who has the right expertise to help you and in whom you have confidence.
Revere
1. Cipoletta, James: One drink too many and an operating under the influence (OUI) charge could have serious consequences and implications in your life.

2. Armano & Lepore: What we commonly call “drunk driving” actually is known by many other names, including driving under the influence (DUI) and driving while intoxicated (DWI). In Massachusetts, it is officially known as “operating under the influence (OUI)”. One thing is for sure, drunk driving is a very serious offense, that can have long lasting implications on your personal and professional life.

Salem
Salem, NH:
1. Mark Stevens: Many people believe that breath testing is an accurate method of determining the amount of alcohol in a person's blood. In fact, breath testing is far from accurate and as currently used is fraught with error which can lead to false high readings that are significantly higher than a person's true blood alcohol content at the time of the test or at the time of operation based upon a number of variables not taken into account by the machine.
Salisbury
1. Baldassarre & Associates: * Alcohol-related offenses, like drunk driving (DUI/DWI/OUI) * Motor vehicle offenses, like speeding, uninsured motorist claims or driving on a suspended license * White collar crimes, including fraud and embezzlement * Drug offenses, including drug arrests related to possession, trafficking and manufacturing * Assault and battery * Sex offenses * Matters under juvenile law * Probation surrenders In Massachusetts, there are many collateral consequences to being charged with a crime. If you have been arrested for DUI or a drug or traffic offense, you may face loss of your driver's license or of a professional license — like a license to sell real estate, practice medicine or law. If you are convicted of a crime in Massachusetts, you could also face loss of a job, of eligibility for federal financial aid to attend college or loss of housing options. Many immigrants also face the risk of deportation.

Swmpscott
1. Wayne, Judith: Improper police stops Police cannot generally pull you over unless they have a valid reason for the stop. If you were stopped for an illegal reason, all evidence gained after the stop (including the field sobriety test and the Breathalyzer test results) can be suppressed. Challenging the validity of sobriety tests Certain field sobriety tests, including the horizontal gaze nystagmus test, can be challenged in court. In the horizontal gaze nystagmus test, the police officer uses a pen to track eye movements. However, most officers who conduct this test are not considered experts, and can incorrectly administer the test. I have won several cases based on the cross-examination of officers who have misused the horizontal gaze nystagmus test. Breathalyzer test results can also be challenged if there are technical problems with the machine or if the officer was not properly trained in its operation.

Wellesley
1. Ruggieri, Lisa: Prosecutors for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts have the power and resources of the government behind them, and they use those resources aggressively to obtain convictions. If you have been arrested on assault and battery charges, stolen property crimes, violations of restraining orders, drug charges, or think that you are the target of a drug investigation, you need an experienced drug crimes defense lawyer on your side.
Wellesley Hills
1. Kretowicz, Adam: If you, a friend, or a family member, has been charged with a crime, you may not realize how serious your situation is. Every criminal prosecution is serious, even if the offense is a traffic offense or a misdemeanor. So-called "minor" offenses can carry substantial fines or jail time - and the consequences don't stop there. A traffic offense could make it extremely difficult for you to obtain motor vehicle insurance, except at a dramatically higher premium. A misdemeanor conviction could cause problems when you are looking for a job.
