“Outstanding legal representation!”
“After my son was arrested for OUI, I knew we would have to find the best lawyer to represent him and help him fight the charge. After extensive research, we decided to hire Attorney DelSignore because of his professionalism and his knowledge of Massachusetts criminal law. Having to take the case to trial, Attorney DelSignore shined in the court room, as he was prepared and skillful. Due in large part to Attorney DelSignore’s efforts, my son was acquitted on all charges. We are SO THANKFUL for all of his effort, and would highly recommend him to anyone!”

- Performance on the field sobriety tests: Often, these tests are unreliable and unfair given the conditions. After being pulled over, many people are nervous and or scared, which has a major impact on their performance on the field sobriety tests.
- Conduct at the police station during the booking process: Most police departments have cameras in their booking room. This video can be used to show your balance was good, your speech was clear, and that you were polite and cooperative with the officers.
- Health issues: The breathalyzer test as well as the field sobriety tests assume a person is in good physical condition. Officers do not take into account prior injuries a person might have had, or whether a person has asthma (for example). A DelSignore Law Attorney can obtain copies of your medical records, and we will review them to see if they could help your case.
