Massachusetts has some of the toughest drunk driving laws in the nation.
In July, 2003
the Commonwealth lowered its legal blood
alcohol level to .08, increased the
penalties for drunk driving offenses
and stepped up enforcement on the roadways.
Even then, many
first-time offenders were still able to receive an "alternative
disposition”
(mandatory drug or alcohol education programs) that allowed them
to keep their license and reduce the consequences of a
conviction. On October 28, 2005,
Melanie's Law
was enacted creating strict minimum sentences for 1st, 2nd and
3rd time oui / dwi offenders.
No longer are individuals
able to appear in court and receive a less severe sentence for a
first or simple OUI offense. If you
have been charged with drunk driving / OUI / DWI you face
a serious criminal charge. It is absolutely critical that
you have an experienced and effective attorney fighting for your
rights and for your license.
In Massachusetts, prosecutors
take OUI charges very seriously and they have multiple ways to
prove their case against you. A state prosecutor can
(1) show proof that your blood alcohol level exceeded the legal
limit or (2) he or she can show that you were impaired while
driving.
Chambers willl develop a solid defense based on your
history, circumstances and the events surround the arrest.
Attorney Chambers
and Attorney Booth will ensure that your were properly stopped and that
the arresting officer's opinion and actions were accurate and within the
established police protocols. we will
challenge any blood, breath and field sobriety tests the prosecution
offers. Every case is different and you should call for a free
