Top 10 Questions to Ask a Massachusetts OUI Lawyer
Many people charged with OUI in Massachusetts should never expect having to step foot in a courtroom.
This is because most people are first time offenders with no prior criminal record, no arrest record and may have been unjustifiably arrested.
Let me say that you are not alone in being charged with drunk driving in Massachusetts.
It is easy to get charged; being charged means that the police officer thought you were under the influence. While being charged is certainly stressful, embarrassing and a strain on your finances, job and family life, it is not the same as the Commonwealth proving the case and obtaining a conviction. Once you learn how the process works, understand that many have gone through this process before, understand your Constitutional rights and defenses to an OUI charge, I guarantee that some of your frustration and anxiety will be reduced.
With that advice in mind, your next step is to hire an experienced Massachusetts OUI lawyer.
Here is a list of 10 questions you should consider asking, to assist in your search for the right Massachusetts OUI lawyer for your case.
