Boston, Massachusetts Drunk Driving Defense Attorney

Why should I fight my OUI case?
Two reasons. First, Massachusetts recently adopted a lifetime look back period for OUI cases. This means that any Massachusetts OUI or other states OUI/DUI/DWI case can cause increased penalties for your lifetime. Second, we are successful in approximately 80% of our OUI cases.

How do I pick a lawyer?
Because OUI cases in Massachusetts and other states involve specialized knowledge, the lawyer you select should handle these cases regularly. This means more than a few cases a year. Our lawyers handle approximately 50 -100 OUI trials per lawyer/per year. These include OUI cases with accidents, blood tests, breath tests and breath refusals. We are successful in approximately 80% of our OUI cases. You should ask any lawyer how many OUI trials they have each year and what percentage of the OUI cases are trials.

What is a Continuance Without a Finding?
A Continuance Without a Finding or CWOF means you have plead to a first offense OUI. A CWOF is not a conviction but it carries the same penalty as a guilty finding. It is also considered a first offense if you get another offense it will cause enhanced penalties. It never comes off you record.

Blood Alcohol Content / BAC Calculation
Showing estimated percent of alcohol in the blood by number of drinks in relation to body weight. This percent can be estimated by:

1. Count your drinks (1 drink equals 1 ounce of 100-proof liquor, one five ounce glass of table wine or one 12-ounce bottle of regular beer).

2. Use the chart below and under number of "drinks" and opposite "body weight" find the percent of blood alcohol listed.

3. Subtract from this number the percent of alcohol "burned up" during the time elapsed since your first drink. This figure is .015% per hour. (Example: 180 lb. man - 8 drinks in 4 hours / .167% minus (.015x4) = .107 %
