What can you expect after you have been stopped for a DWI?

A drunk driving offense is more than a traffic citation – it is a criminal offense in the state of Massachusetts. You must be aware that an OUI arrest can lead to heavy fines and possible jail time. But you must also remember that you have rights – and the police should have read them to you during the arrest.

If the police suspect you of drinking and driving, they will most likely begin by asking if you have been. Many people choose to answer this question. If in fact you have been drinking, it is best not to admit it.  Depending upon how much alcohol you claim to have consumed, your admission alone may constitute "probable cause" to arrest you and give you a breathalyzer test.

Have you been accused of operating a vehicle while impaired or intoxicated in Massachusetts? You are not alone. Hundreds of people every year are falsely accused and charged with OUI and suffer for it. Failing a field sobriety test does not mean you are impaired or intoxicated while driving a vehicle. It just means you failed a test forced upon you under pressure. Given the circumstance, many of us will cave in under the stress of a field sobriety test. There is no reason you should not hire an experienced attorney with a proven track record defending clients charged with OUI.

The penalties for OUI are severe and should not be taken lightly. Not only will your driver's license be revoked for a year, hefty fines and increased insurance rates are among the penalties for OUI. First offenders may even face jail time!
