Operating Under the Influence
Comprehensive Legal Services
Being charged with Operating Under the Influence in Massachusetts is serious. The consequences can affect every aspect of your life. However, an arrest is not a conviction. With the right defense, an OUI charge can be challenged and in some cases dismissed.
Attorneys at Martinese Law have extensive and impressive history with taking OUI cases to trial.
Why Hire an OUI Defense Attorney
An OUI conviction can lead to license suspension, fines, probation, or jail and a permanent criminal record. Early and aggressive legal representation matters.
At Martinese Law we do not just defend cases. We fight them. We prepare every case for trial and never back down.
At Martinese Law we defend OUI cases aggressively using in depth knowledge of police procedures, courtroom strategy, and the science behind breath and field sobriety testing. Here are some of the ways we challenge OUI charges.
Challenge the Traffic Stop
Police must have reasonable suspicion to stop your vehicle. If the stop was unlawful, the entire case may be thrown out. We review dashcam footage, police reports, and 911 calls to identify constitutional violations.
Attack Field Sobriety Tests
Field sobriety tests are subjective and often unreliable. Medical conditions nerves fatigue and improper instructions can affect performance. We challenge how the tests were administered and interpreted.
Discredit Breath Test Results
Breath test machines must be properly calibrated and maintained. A 15-minute observation period must be completed prior to the breath test administration. We request maintenance records and move to suppress unreliable or inaccurate results.
Question Arrest Procedures and Probable Cause
We examine whether the arrest was lawful, whether your rights were respected, and whether police had enough evidence to charge you. Drinking alcohol and driving alone is not illegal. Driving while under the influence of an intoxicating liquor is illegal when the Commonwealth can prove it. We specialize in calling into question the veracity of the investigation and challenging impairment beyond a reasonable doubt.

Depending on your record and the facts you may qualify for Continuance without a finding through negotiation.
