Massachusetts drunk driving charges: Fitchburg, Framingham and Worcester
License reinstatement and driving privileges
Most individuals who have been arrested for drunk driving face revocation of their driving privileges. Our attorneys will aggressively assert your rights to preserve your license and driving privileges, even after a drunk-driving conviction.
Taking the breathalyzer
If you take the test and flunk, you only lose your license for 30 days. If you refuse, you lose your license for 180 days. Police will often use this fact to try to convince you to take a breathalyzer. In Massachusetts you have the right to refuse both field sobriety tests and the breath test. We are able to keep these refusals from being introduced against you at trial. We can help fight to get your license back if you refuse to take the breathalyzer. However, if you fail a breathalyzer and you are convicted of OUI, you may also face an increase in insurance rates and other consequences. Whether you have taken the breathalyzer or not, our attorneys will aggressively defend your rights to defeat criminal charges and protect your future.
Melanie’s Law
Melanie's Law states that with every drunk-driving offense, offenders will lose their license longer and face greater penalties. If you have been charged or convicted of a drunk-driving offense and are facing a second or third offense, it is critical that you consult with a lawyer regarding your case. Our lawyers will defend you aggressively and strive to minimize penalties if you are convicted.
Vehicular manslaughter and vehicular homicide while intoxicated or under the influence
In addition to drunk-driving cases, we can provide criminal defense against vehicular manslaughter and vehicular homicide charges. If you or someone you love has been involved in an alcohol-related car accident, please contact us as soon as possible to protect your rights.
