Charges We Defend

Defending Your Future

A defense built on the stop, the tests, and the procedure.

A strong defense from a skilled OUI lawyer can make the difference between a conviction and a reduced or dismissed charge. We challenge the accuracy of breathalyzer and field sobriety tests, investigate whether police had valid reasons for the traffic stop, and identify violations of your constitutional rights at every step of the encounter.

Whether you are facing your first OUI or a repeat offense, we fight to protect your driving privileges, your record, and your reputation.

  • Challenging breathalyzer calibration and operator certification
  • Field sobriety test administration and scoring attacks
  • Investigating unlawful stops and prolonged detentions
  • Identifying procedural and constitutional violations

Representation at Every Stage

We defend clients at every stage of a Massachusetts OUI case.

01

Stop & Investigation

We attack the foundation of every OUI case — the legality of the stop, the reasonable suspicion to extend it, and the probable cause to arrest.

02

Arraignment & License

From day one we coordinate the criminal case with RMV and Board of Appeal proceedings to protect your driving privileges.

03

Suppression & Motion Practice

Motions to exclude breathalyzer results, suppress field sobriety performance, and challenge cruiser-cam observations under Mass. R. Crim. P. 13.

04

Trial & Disposition

Every file is built for trial. When trial isn't the right call, we negotiate dispositions that protect your record, your license, and your livelihood.
