Defending Against OU/DWI/DUI Charges in Norfolk County

As aggressive and experienced DUI lawyers, Eisenstadt Law is ready to help you in with any incident involving you being charged with an OUI (operating while under the influence) or DWI (driving while impaired), or DUI (driving while under the influence).

OUIs, DWIs, and DUIs are very serious crimes that can result in jail time, significant charges appearing on your record, and your driving privileges being suspended.

If you have been accused of driving while impaired by alcohol, drugs or while under the influence of a controlled substance, it is imperative that you seek immediate legal counsel to learn about your rights.

As former prosecutors with more than 20 years legal experience, we understand the implications of these kinds of charges and will work aggressively on your behalf.

Contact our law firm today at (617) 397-5755 to schedule your free initial OUI consultation.

Have You Been Accused of an OUI?

An OUI, DWI or DUI can occur at any time. Under some circumstances, you could have just had a glass of wine or two with dinner and felt perfectly fine to drive afterwards, but were later pulled over and subjected to grueling field sobriety tests designed to make you fail. In other cases, you could have taken prescribed medication, such as painkillers, but not realized that they impaired your ability to drive. You may have had a few too many and gotten behind the wheel. Regardless of what the underlying scenario was, with your freedom and certain privileges on the line—you will benefit greatly from having an experienced law firm fighting for your rights.

Boston OUI Laws

In 2005, Melanie’s Law was enacted after a 13-year-old was killed from a collision involving a drunk driver who had prior convictions for driving while intoxicated. It increased the penalties that drivers could face while operating a vehicle impaired. The law enables prosecutors to seek more stringent and longer lasting punishments for repeat and first-time offenders. In addition to increasing the penalties for drunk driving, the law also added some other crimes to the list associated with OUI, DWI and DUI.

These laws include:

  • Lending your car to a person who is clearly intoxicated is a felony.
  • Being charged with impairment with a minor in the vehicle under the age of 14 is a felony.
  • Manslaughter caused by drunken driving is a crime that carries a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in state prison.
  • Interlock devices must be installed in repeat offenders’ cars with a work education or hardship basis and can only start the car with a blood alcohol limit of .02 percent.
  • It’s illegal to allow a person who has to use a court mandated interlock device to drive your car.
  • Companies are not allowed to let employees who are mandated to use such interlock devices drive corporate vehicles.

Why You Need an OUI Attorney

If you have been arrested for an OUI or other related impairment charge, it’s vital that retain a lawyer as soon as possible as anything that takes place during your arrest can and will be used in court against you.

Your driving privileges could be suspended, and you could face jail or prison time depending upon the nature of your conviction. With an experienced attorney representing you, the prosecution’s case can be aggressively challenged and the impact to your life from an OUI arrest can be minimized.
