Mendon OUI Lawyer

A common question asked by a client charged with an OUI in Mendon is are there any defenses when I register above the legal limit on a breathalyzer.

Michael DelSignore has had great success fighting cases where the client has registered well above the legal limit. He has successfully defended cases both in the Milford District Court where Mendon arrests are heard and throughout Massachusetts. You can see examples of successfully defended breath test cases on the DUI case results page on this site and on the lawyer review site Avvo.com under his attorney profile.

When working with Attorney DelSignore, handles all motions and trials and meets with his clients throughout the process to discuss the case, review the client intake form given out at the beginning of the case and to take pictures of the area of the arrest if it can be done safely. Attorney DelSignore does have an associate who sometimes handles routine court dates.

In OUI cases, police officers will often fail to follow the proper procedure in administering the test which undermines the scientific reliability of the results. A hearing is scheduled in court which address whether the Commonwealth can establish the legal requirements to admit a breath test result. If this motion is denied other defenses to a breath test case include:

• Disconnection between the results and officer’s observations
• Showing that a Medical condition may have made the results inaccurate in your case.
• Arguing to the jury that the officer did not follow the correct procedures, undermining the reliability of the results.

Those charged with first offense OUI in Mendon will very often be offered a plea bargain of a continued without a finding or better known as a CWOF. Many clients will ask if this is a good deal. While a CWOF technically not a guilty verdict, it still has severe consequences. There will be an automatic suspension of license, fines and mandatory alcohol classes. Along with this, even though it is technically not a conviction, if someone with a CWOF is arrested again for drunk driving, it will still be considered a second offense OUI which carries harsher penalties.

If you feel like there you were treated unfairly or there is a defense to your drunk driving charge, it is important to not settle for a CWOF and contact an experienced OUI attorney who will take your case to trial.
