Did You Receive a Notice Regarding the Breathalyzer Test in Your Case?

Attorney Bernard was the lead counsel for over five years in this litigation, Commonwealth v. Ananias. He was the attorney who prompted the Court to order the 27,000 notices to be sent to those impacted by unreliable breathalyzers that were calibrated between June of 2011 and April 18, 2019. If you have been convicted of an OUI since June 2011 and took a breath test, please contact the Law Offices of Joseph D. Bernard today to have your case re-evaluated.
