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.

The Long-Term Impact of an OUI Conviction

Once you are convicted of a OUI it can impact the rest of your life and follow you around forever. Most importantly, you could be facing the possibility of serving jail time. Future employers may neglect to hire you after conducting a background check and your auto insurance rates could increase. There are also fines and restitution to accommodate for and court fees, and other negative aspects of a OUI that make it clear that you need an experienced DUI lawyer fighting on your behalf from start to finish.

Multiple OUIs

If you have been accused of multiple OUI’s, contact our law firm right away. Under Melanie’s Law, newer punishments can be imposed that greatly limit your options without a qualified attorney representing you.

As former prosecutors, we are familiar with every strategy that the state will use to try to win a conviction, and we will use our resources and own strategy to fight on your behalf. Convictions under the new laws can result in substantial jail time if not aggressively pursued by an experienced attorney.

Understanding OUI Challenges in Westwood and Norfolk County

Living in Westwood or anywhere in Norfolk County, you know that local law enforcement takes OUI offenses very seriously. The Westwood Police Department and the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office are vigilant in keeping our roads safe. This means that even a minor infraction can lead to significant legal challenges.

One of the common pain points for residents in our area is the strict enforcement of OUI laws, especially during weekends and holidays when sobriety checkpoints are more frequent. If you face an OUI charge, it's crucial to understand that the local courts, including the Dedham District Court, are known for their stringent penalties. This can include hefty fines, license suspension, and even jail time.

At Eisenstadt Law, we are deeply familiar with the local legal landscape. We understand the unique challenges that Westwood residents face, from navigating the busy Route 109 to dealing with the aftermath of an arrest at a local checkpoint. Our team is committed to providing you with the best defense possible, leveraging our extensive experience and knowledge of Norfolk County's legal system.

Don't let an OUI charge disrupt your life. Contact us today to discuss your case and learn how we can help you navigate the complexities of the local legal system. With our dedicated support, you can focus on moving forward while we handle the legal intricacies on your behalf.
