OUI and DUI Defense in Massachusetts
An operating under the influence charge can threaten your license, your record, and your future. Early, strategic representation can shape the outcome.
Overview
Understanding your case
In Massachusetts, an OUI charge applies when a person operates a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Penalties can include license suspension, fines, mandatory programs, and incarceration, and the consequences often increase with prior offenses.
Cestos Law PLLC reviews the traffic stop, field sobriety testing, breath or blood evidence, and the procedures followed by police. We identify weaknesses in the Commonwealth's case and advocate for the most favorable outcome available under the circumstances.
How We Help
A focused approach to your case
Protecting your license
A separate Registry of Motor Vehicles process can suspend your driving privileges. Acting quickly can preserve your right to a hearing and your ability to drive.
Challenging the stop and testing
We examine whether police had a lawful reason to stop you and whether field sobriety and chemical tests were administered correctly.
First offense and repeat charges
Penalties escalate with prior offenses. We evaluate your record and prior resolutions to build an accurate picture of your exposure.
