Understanding DUI/OUI Charges in Massachusetts

Massachusetts has some of the strictest DUI laws in the country. A conviction can result in severe consequences, including:

• License Suspension: A first-time DUI conviction can result in a one-year suspension. Refusing a breathalyzer test leads to an automatic 180-day suspension.
• Hefty Fines: Fines for a first offense range from $500 to $5,000.
• Jail Time: A first-time conviction carries the possibility of up to 2.5 years in jail.
• Ignition Interlock Requirement: Some convictions require a two-year ignition interlock device (IID) installation.

How Our Milford DUI Lawyers Can Help

At DeGiacomo & Mikhlin, P.C., we take an aggressive and strategic approach to DUI/OUI defense. We will:

• Examine the legality of your traffic stop and arrest
• Challenge breathalyzer and field sobriety test results
• Identify constitutional violations or procedural errors
• Negotiate reduced charges or alternative sentencing
• Fight for dismissal or acquittal in court

We know that every case is unique, and we tailor our defense strategies to the specific circumstances of your arrest.

Former Prosecutors on Your Side

Attorneys James G. DeGiacomo and Sergey Mikhlin bring a unique advantage as former prosecutors. They understand how the prosecution builds cases against DUI defendants—and they use that knowledge to dismantle the charges against you. Their experience allows them to anticipate the state’s tactics and develop a powerful defense strategy.

Can a DUI Be Dismissed in Massachusetts?

Yes, DUI/OUI charges can be dismissed under certain circumstances, such as:

• Lack of reasonable suspicion for the traffic stop
• Insufficient probable cause for the arrest
• Improperly maintained or faulty breathalyzer devices
• Mishandled evidence or procedural errors
• Violation of your Fourth Amendment rights

If there are weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, our Milford DUI lawyers will aggressively fight for reduced charges or dismissal.

What is a Cinderella License?

Losing your license after a DUI conviction can create serious hardships, especially if you need to drive to work or school. Fortunately, you may qualify for a hardship license, often called a "Cinderella License." This allows limited driving privileges during designated hours. Our law firm can guide you through the application process and help you regain your driving privileges as soon as possible.

How Long Does a DUI Stay on Your Record in Massachusetts?

An OUI conviction stays on your driving record for ten years in Massachusetts, impacting your insurance rates and background checks. While Massachusetts does not allow OUI convictions to be expunged in most cases, some individuals may qualify for record sealing after a certain period. We can help you explore your options.
