Success Stories - Massachusetts OUI DWI Defense

Brockton District Court

Wareham District Court

My client had driven off the roadway causing his car to strike numerous trees after flipping over.  After climbing out of the car, my client was confronted with police officers who observed an odor of alcohol, bloodshot and glassy eyes and slurred speech.  My client agree to perform field sobriety tests and after being placed under arrest, submitted to a breath test with a result of .12.

I submitted medical records proving my client had a history of knee injuries and argued that his performance on the field sobriety tests was affected by this disability as opposed to alcohol.  I also argued that the breath test was inadmissible as it was administered hours after the accident.  As a result, my client was found NOT GUILTY of Operating Under the Influence of Alcohol.

Barnstable District Court

While traveling around a corner at approximately 3:00am my client’s car left the roadway and struck numerous trees.  The police made observations of my client that they claimed were consistent with intoxication including poor performance on field sobriety tests.  The jury was convinced that my client was affected by the accident as opposed to alcohol and returned a verdict of NOT GUILTY.

Falmouth District Court

The police claimed that my client was traveling over the center line causing the officer traveling in the opposite direction to drive off the road to avoid a collision.  After stopping my client’s car, the officer made certain observations that he claimed were consistent with intoxication including an inability to perform field sobriety tests.  The officer also found numerous empty beer cans in the car.

Cross examination of the officer revealed that if his cruiser left the roadway as he claimed, he would have struck trees which lined the road.  In addition, he was unable to produce any of the alleged empties recovered from the car and the jury was not persuaded that my client was impaired by alcohol.  NOT GUILTY.

Taunton District Court

The police were called to a motor vehicle accident where numerous parked cars were struck by my client’s vehicle.  My client was found by the police in the driveway of his home down the street from the accident.  The police took him back to the accident scene and gave him field sobriety tests.  After forming the opinion that he was the driver of his car and that he was intoxicated, they placed him under arrest.  After filing a motion to suppress claiming that the police were without authority to ask him questions about his operation of the car, the case was DISMISSED.
