Officer testified she had a strong odor of alcohol, bloodshot, glassy eyes and slurred speech. He made her get out of the car to do four field sobriety tests. He then gave her a portable roadside breath test which measured 0.99 and arrested her. I argued at trial that there was reasonable doubt:  she had two bad knees, passed the alphabet test and was a woman alone doing balancing tests by the side of the highway at 2:30 am. The judge agreed. Not guilty.

I was stopped at a sobriety checkpoint [road block] and  arrested for OUI. Joe answered my early phone call and was in my corner from the start. He was able to explain exactly what will happen with each court hearing and eliminate my anxiety.  His years of experience has helped him build relationships with many contacts in the legal system and he got me a quick trial and a not guilty. When I had trouble getting my license back at the RMV, he was able to help push through my paperwork and get it back the same day.  I strongly recommend him to anyone seeking OUI counsel.

Client rear ended another car. When police arrived, they described him as:

• having a strong odor of alcohol from his mouth
• very red and bloodshot eyes
• unsteady on his feet
• slurred speech

My client was 19 years old when arrested for his first OUI. The RMV imposes a draconian three year suspension for underage drivers who refuse the breath test at the station. Plus, there are only 15 days to fight this. I guided him through the complex process of fighting this first at the Boston RMV and then via an Appeal in the court. There, the judge overturned his three year suspension saving him 3 full years with no license.
