Taunton DUI Attorneys

The Taunton District Court is located at 40 Broadway, in Taunton, MA.

All cases in the Taunton District Court are prosecuted by the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office. The Taunton District Court is a mid-sized courthouse with four to five courtrooms open a day, it handles cases for arraignment, pre-trial, motions, and jury trials.

Attorneys James G. DeGiacomo and Sergey Mikhlin have handled many different types of cases out of the Taunton District Court. For more information, see below.

Bench Trial or Jury Trial

If you have been charged with a DUI or OUI, it is important to have a clear understanding of whether it makes sense to have a jury trial or a bench trial. A jury trial is when six people from the community will decide if you are guilty or not guilty, while a bench trial is when a single judge will make that decision.

The common thought process is that if the “theme of the case” is a question of fact – such as “do the field sobriety tests indicate impairment?” – then you should have a jury trial. However, if the “theme” is a question of law – such as “does the road qualify as a public way?” – then you should have a bench trial.

However, a lot more goes into the decision process. One of the most important factors to consider is who the judge will be. Some judges are good for bench trials, others are not. Because of this, you need an experienced Taunton DUI attorney by your side to make sure that you know all the important pieces of the puzzle.

Testimonials from Real People

Hear from Clients in Their Own Words
    "Best Attorney"
    DeGiacomo was the most honest, informative, and humble attorney I have ever met and I recommend him to any person in trouble. He knows what he is talking about!
    - Former Client
    "James treated me with respect and kindness from day one"
    What I found refreshing was that James had a realistic and positive attitude from the beginning. His warmhearted professionalism made me more at ease. James got the best outcome for my 2nd DUI case. I left the courthouse knowing that he had a beneficial impact on my case. I recommend Attorney De Giacomo to anyone who wants the best of the best.
    - EO
    "Highly recommended"
    James was extremely professional, very informative, and most importantly he delivered! I was looking at two felony charges and James was able to get me a deal where the charges will be dismissed as long as I stay out of trouble for a year. Guilty felony charges make getting a job impossible so I’m grateful for his services and would call him again if needed. I highly recommend to use James for your legal issues.
    - Marc F
    "Confident & Reliable"
    Jim took over my case after my 1st attorney had to drop it. Jim is very knowledgeable, he walked me through the steps of the trial process and answered all my questions right away plus explained why certain information wasn’t needed. The trial was postponed twice due to the pandemic but Jim was still in constant communication. Thank you!
