The police officer followed me 1.5 miles at 45 mph only 2 car lengths behind then stopped me because I swerved over the fog line by a foot or so.  I told him I was nervous because he was so close behind me. He said my eyes were red and glassy, my speech slurred and I failed all the field tests so he arrested me for my 2nd offense. Joe brought a Motion to suppress the stop of my car and submitted cases to the Court supporting his argument. I never thought you could get DUI cases dismissed but the Judge concluded there was no cause for the stop. Joe then followed through to get my 3 year refusal suspension reversed and the DA filed this document dropping all charges:  

I had never been arrested before and this was a terrifying situation for me. The DA's office wouldn't reduce the charges despite my clean record so Joe recommended we go to trial. During the year it took, he left no stone unturned in my defense. At trial, he faced an obviously tough and experienced DA, but, boy, did Joe pull through in the clutch:

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.   

See judge's order restoring license.

Client was seen by 2 troopers driving into a snow bank. They had to ask him 3 times to produce his license. His eyes were bloodshot and glassy and there was an odor of alcohol from his person. He was unable to maintain the starting stance for the 9 step walk and turn test and was arrested. When neither trooper showed up for trial, I brought a Motion to Dismiss for failure to prosecute and the judge allowed it. I then asked for an immediate Motion hearing to restore his license.  It was granted and the judge restored hs license overturning the three year refusal suspension.

Two state troopers testified client had thick-tongued, slurred peech, glassy eyes and an odor of alcohol. Two open alcohol containers were found on the front passenger seat. We insisted on being given copies of all videos. The dash cam video showed our client held his foot up for almost 40 seconds for the 30 second long one leg stand test. Judge: Not guilty. License restored immediately

It was my 2nd offense. I failed both the field sobriety tests and had 21 cans of beer in the truck, plus one open container of beer in the console!  Joe did a painstaking cross examination of the cop, bringing it along slowly and stressing everything I had done right. We got a Not Guilty and the judge ordered my 3 year refusal suspension overturned the same day. 

I had an open container of beer in the car, was weaving in my lane, crossed the double solid center line and failed two of the three field sobriety tests. After writing me three extremely detailed reports about the case, Joe recommended we fight the charges. He walked me through the Trial process every step of the way and totally kept me from getting nervous.  I'm extremely happy with the way he handled everything.

While plowing a driveway, my truck crashed into the side of the house causing extensive damage. I said I had 3 beers but they found an open container of vodka on the dashboard and my 5 year old in the front seat so I was charged with Child Endangerment while I was OUI. It was my third offense and got extensive news coverage.  (They dubbed me “Mr. Plowed” on the Internet!) 

Although 2 cops and the Chief of the Fire Department testified I was disheveled and gave their opinion I was under the influence, Joe found an appellate case which had just come down the very week of trial. The Judge said he had read it that very morning, relied on it in issuing acquittals on all 3 charges and actually complimented Joe for finding it. 

Client was seen swerving in his lane for two miles, had slurred speech and bloodshot, glassy eyes.  He admitted to drinking and had an open container of beer in the console clearly visible to the officer.  He was unsteady on his feet getting out of the car and had to place his hand on the car to keep his balance. Plus, there was a strong odor of alcohol about hs person. The booking video showed him swaying at points and with slurred speech as well. Not guilty at bench trial.

OUI-1st, Open Containers:      Failed 9-Step Walk & Turn & Breath Test                    Westboro
OUI-1st 5 lanes violations:      Odor alcohol and pot. Admitted to 3 tall beers            Attleboro
OUI-2nd:                               Plus 3 year refusal suspension reversed for 2nd time     Wrentham
OUI-Marijuana:              Per client: “I got all my money’s worth by 1st court recess”    Salem

Client was seen to drift from one side of the road to the other then back again, He failed the  walk and turn test and 2 open beer bottles were found in his door, still cold to the touch. He then failed the breath test at the station as well. At trial, judge allowed my motion to exlcude any testimony about the beer cans and then acquitted him after trial. 

Before the accident, client was seen speeding 20 mph over the limit and weaving in and out of traffic. Cop followed him and saw him run a red light and shut off his headlights as he entered a residential section. The cop then found him after he had driven over a lawn and hit a guardrail. He testified he was unsteady on his feet, smelled of alcohol, had bloodshot and glassy eyes, slurred speech and many open containers of alcohol in the vehicle. Verdict: Not Guilty of OUI

Charged with OUI, Open Container [min. $500 fine] and Negligent Operation [a criminal charge], I stood to lose my security clearance and job of 17 years if found guilty. Joe got me the absolute bare minimum license loss plus no fines on the other charges- saving me $600.
