Beverly Drunk Driving Lawyers

1. Gabriel, David: There are many viable defenses to a DUI: improper administration of roadside tests, the arresting officer's subjective conclusions, and the inaccuracy of breathalyzer machines. Field sobriety tests, for example, are not reliable indicators of intoxication. Especially when asked to perform them at night, on the shoulder of the road, in the cold, in the glaring squad car headlights. * Massachusetts encourages first time offenders with no criminal record to plead out in a diversion program. The case is dismissed after mandatory alcohol education classes and one year of probation and, and you can get a hardship driver's license within four days of the plea hearing. * A second DUI is harsher, and often requires going to trial. A second offense is punished by a minimum of two weeks in an alcohol facility and a 60-day suspended sentence, two-year license revocation with no hardship license for six months. * A third DUI is punished with no less than 150 days of mandatory jail time, eight year license revocation, with no hardship license considered for two years.
2. Joseph Waldbaum: Under the new Massachusetts law, an OUI can now follow you the rest of your life. Due to these increasingly complex laws, OUI defense has become a specialty.
