Two officers testified client was seen speeding on a curving road, had a strong odor of alcohol, slurred speech, and stopped reciting the alphabet at Q instead of going to Z. I argued he committed no lanes violations, pulled over promptly when the officer's blue lights went on, was cooperative at all times and it was well past 1 AM when no one is at their mental or physical best.  Not guilty.

Civlian called police to report that client backed out of driveway swerving and appeared to be drunk. At trial, cop testified Scott had a strong odor of alcohol, bloodshot and glassy eyes and was unsteady on his feet.  I stressed that he pulled over promptly and safely, was able to produce both his license and registration quickly and without difficulty, and that any unsteadiness getting out of the car was due to being asked to walk towards the cruiser's headlights and flashing "takedown" lights which -- as I got the cop to admit on the stand during trial -- were still on !!  Judge found reasonable doubt and immeidately restored his licnse.

RI driver arrested for 2nd OUI lost his right to drive in MA for three full years for refusing breath test. I guided him through the complex process of fighting this at the MA RMV (which must be done within 15 calendar days of the arrest). I then appealed their denial to a judge who reinstated his license so he could drive to court legally while the case worked its way towards trial over one year. For trial, I had requested the booking video preserved. There, I showed the jury he was able to walk perfectly normally over to the phone on the wall and dial it with no difficulty whatever graphically demonstrating both his gross and fine motor skills were perfectly intact. Not guilty in 15 minutes.

My son was arrested for 5 charges. I never needed an atty. or faced such a devastating situation but knew from the first conversation Joe was the right guy.  During the process I had many questions and whenever I contacted him he got right back to me even on the weekends. He got the open alcohol container charge thrown out and then got not guiltys on both criminal charges at trial. It was the best outcome I could have hoped for. He also got my son's right to drive restored right after trial despite a six month refusal suspension. Now he can drive again and help with my wife who is sick.
