OUI Defense
A conviction for operating under the influence in Massachusetts can carry substantial fines, jail time and your driving privileges may be suspended. As a result, you need the best legal help available to ensure your freedom and your rights are protected. The attorneys at DeGiacomo & Mikhlin, P.C. are experienced OUI lawyers that can provide the strong legal representation you need to minimize the impact of a Boston OUI charge.
If you have never been arrested before, being pulled over on suspicion of OUI can be a very scary experience. You have no idea what’s about to happen, and you’re probably worried about your job, your friends & family, & how it could affect your reputation. You are also probably very concerned that you will lose your driver’s license.
In most cases, the officer who pulls you over will ask you to submit to a blood, urine or breath test to verify their probable cause for arrest. The implied consent laws in Maine state that you must comply with a breath, urine or blood test upon request of a police officer. If the officers have probable cause for arrest, they will then formally charge you with an OUI offense.
The state has the burden to prove all elements of an OUI offense beyond a reasonable doubt. A tenacious OUI attorney will make every effort to find and expose weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, including the qualifications and credibility of the state’s witnesses and any issues with the equipment or procedure used to administer the chemical tests.
