OUI Defense Lawyer Serving
Norfolk County, Bristol County, Plymouth County, or Cape Cod

OUI Attorney in Southeastern Massachusetts

When stopped and arrested for OUI, you not only face a Massachusetts Administrative License Suspension but the criminal charge for operating under the influence also can cause suspension of your license.  Under the administrative proceeding, you can have your license suspended for anywhere from 30 days up to five years for failing or refusing a chemical test, depending on your OUI history. Failing a breath test is considered to occur when registering .08 percent or greater on a breathalyzer test.  Under the criminal charges, the suspension times vary depending on your previous driving record.  It is crucial you contact a Southeastern Massachusetts DUI Defense Attorney to review your case and options with you and fight for your driving rights. 

Defense Lawyer for OUI Charges on the Southshore

Driving a motor vehicle when your license is already suspended for an OUI conviction is a serious offense and must be avoided as it becomes a new criminal offense.  Penalties include fines and substantial jail time.  If you're on probation for a DUI and you get caught driving with a suspended license you will also violate your probation and face penalties for the probation violation as well.

Convicted first time offenders may be granted some leniency if they participate in an approved alcohol education program.  On the other hand, harsher penalties are put into place for breath test refusals, drivers under 21 years old, repeat offenders, and for drivers who are convicted for DUI while driving on a suspended license from a prior DUI conviction.  This additional offense carries a minimum of a 1-year mandatory jail sentence.
