A criminal conviction can change your insurance rates for driving and
other coverages; it can, in sex charges, for example, require you to
register in every state you live in; it can affect your professional
licensing, your education loans, your financial ratings, and even reach
into custody and divorce matters.

OUI Legal Defense for Drunk Driving in Massachusetts
In Massachusetts, a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or higher is illegal. Like many states in our nation, Massachusetts is becoming tougher on drunk driving offenders. An Operating Under the Influence (OUI) charge is very serious in terms of potential consequences, including jail time and fines, as well as the loss of a driver's license and driving privileges.

- Craig Bartolomei:
What Should I do if I am arrested? First you should seek the advice of
an attorney. Whether this attorney is appointed through the court or
you hire one, you should not handle anything but the most minor of
criminal charges without an attorney. Before you have the ability you
will be booked if arrested on the scene. It is always my suggestion,
and all Defense Counsel, that you do not speak with the police until an
attorney can be present. Also very important is to not speak with
anyone at all about your matter other than your attorney. These
statements could be used against you in the case including anything
said in a holding cell or in jail while awaiting your days in court.

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.

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.

An arrest is not a conviction . . . .

- Roncone Law Office:
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).

- Riddle & Associates:
In the state of Massachusetts, a person can be charged with operating under the influence (OUI) if he/she drives a motor vehicle while impaired by drugs and/or alcohol. This offense is also commonly referred to as driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI). Additionally, a person can be charged under an alternative theory with an OUI offense if he/she drives a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol level of 0.08% or higher.
Once a person is arrested for OUI, he/she may be charged with either a misdemeanor or felony OUI offense. If it is the person’s first time being arrested for driving under the influence, or if the person did not cause any third party or property damage, he/she will usually be charged with a misdemeanor. However, if the person has prior OUI convictions or if the person caused bodily harm to a third party or extensive property damage, it is very likely that he person will be charged with a felony offense.
At these times, more than ever, is when an experienced Worcester County OUI lawyer will make all the difference. A capable and aggressive OUI lawyer can fully investigate the charges and create a plan of defense that has the greatest chance of standing up in court.

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.

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.

Drunk Driving / DUI
You are considered by the law to be driving under the influence of alcohol if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is .08 percent or higher. Although each state has the final determination regarding what BAC is considered intoxicated, .08 percent is the Massachusetts and federal standard. Your BAC is calculated mainly through three different types of tests: urine tests, blood tests and breath tests. These tests do have limitations and are all capable of error.
A skilled drunk driving attorney will be aware of the different types of technology used in determining a person's BAC and know how to rebut evidence gained from such devices. Often times instruments are not properly calibrated, sometimes instruments measure things other than alcohol, and sometimes instruments are not properly cared for. An experienced drunk driving lawyer must be able to determine if any of these things played a role in your BAC test.
In addition to being asked to complete a BAC tests, law enforcement officers can ask those alleged to be driving drunk to complete a range of field sobriety test. Field sobriety are voluntary tests that you do not have perform (you may still be penalized for not taking these voluntary tests with a license suspension in some states). If field sobriety tests are not performed properly, they can provide evidence of intoxication. A skilled drunk driving attorney should be able to argue on your behalf if a field sobriety test was improperly conducted.
If you or someone you know has been arrested for driving drunk, it is imperative that you contact a DUI attorney right away. An experienced DUI attorney should not only inform you of your rights, but will fight to make sure those rights are protected.
Some states will automatically revoke a person's driver's license of those accused of drunk driving and of those who fail to submit to the breathalyzer test. In order to save your driving privileges, you will have to act fast you will only have a limited amount of time to argue your case to keep your license. Driver's license suspension's are often handled by the department of transportation and requires a separate hearing.

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.
