    How We Can Help You

    The state of Massachusetts has one of the strictest OUI laws in the nation. When facing a OUI penalty in Massachusetts your penalty may be different depending on the driver’s history.

    Fines

    from $500 to $50,000

    License Suspension

    Can range from 1 year to permanent loss of license

    Jail Sentence

    Can be up to 5 years

    Dealing with an OUI is emotional and frightening, but an experienced defense lawyer may be able to help. Our firm has defended clients against OUI charges for numerous years, and we can use our understanding of the Massachusetts law to ensure that your rights are protected.
