Collateral Consequences
Whether you resolve your case by negotiation or go to trial and are acquitted, your rights can still be severely affected by an OUI arrest. The collateral consequences and license penalties imposed by the Registry of Motor Vehicles in mangy cases can be as problematic as the actual crime charged.

Attorney Brennan is seasoned in all aspects of DUI and OUI defense including 2nd, 3rd, 4th and all all other subsequent defenses.
Massachusetts OUI Laws
In Massachusetts there are two ways for a prosecutor to attempt to convict you. First, if your blood alcohol level is .08% or greater the the prosecutor can attempt to convict you on a “per se” law. Second, if there is no evidence of your flood alcohol level the prosecutor can attempt to convict you by convincing a jury that you consumed enough alcohol so that your ability to operate your motor vehicle safely was affected.
The Best Defense For Your OUI case
Preparation is your greatest tool in effectively defending your OUI case. Although you are presumed innocent, you should affirmatively investigate and develop your case to ensure the best defense to your case. Investigating the soundness of underlying convictions, utilizing the arresting officer’s field sobriety manual to show mistakes and determining whether helpful witnesses exist are just some of the efforts you will need to develop with your OUI attorney.
