DRUNK DRIVING (OUI)

Many people when charged with Operating Under the Influence or Alcohol or Drugs are embarrassed, feel like they made a mistake and often times just want to get the matter over with. They make the mistake of not consulting with an attorney. They don’t realize that their case may not be as strong as they think. Many cases involve facts strongly in favor of the defense including:

The investigating officer did not have enough reason for the initial stop.
The Field Sobriety Tests may not have been conducted in accordance with the Officers training
Evidence that was found may have been gathered or stored improperly.
The police may have deviated from their training or policies and procedures.
The Breathalyzer may not be working properly or the operator was not properly trained.
You were not allowed use of the phone within one hour of your arrest
The Bail Magistrate was not contacted within 6 hours.

These are just a few of the reasons why cases have been dismissed or evidence suppressed resulting in acquittals or reductions in charges.

A conviction for OUI can have significant consequences many years down the road that an unrepresented person was not aware of. Consulting with an experienced attorney is always advisable. We can help get your life back on track faster.

BOATING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (BUI)

BUI, like OUI, is also a serious charge that carries those same significant consequences if convicted. Because it involves persons on the water, often for long periods of time the tests normally used by law enforcement are not available. Attorney Morse is aware of the difficulties and complexities of BUI cases having assisted in training the U.S. Coast Guard and Massachusetts Environmental Police before becoming an attorney.

OUI or BUI is a serious charge that can carry consequences that last a lifetime. If you have been charged with Operating under the Influence (OUI in Massachusetts, DUI in most states) of Drugs or Alcohol contact the Law Office of James Morse for a free consultation.
