Arrested for OUI/DUI?

The DUI process begins as soon as the police officer pulls you over on suspicion of operating under the influence (OUI).  The police should not pull you over unless they have reasonable cause to believe you are intoxicated or under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance.  An unlawful police stop is a violation of your rights, and can be used a defense mechanism if you are later charged with OUI/DUI.

After the police officer has pulled you over, he or she will ask you to perform one or more field sobriety tests.  These tests were designed to challenge a driver's physical coordination, mental alertness, and ability to follow instructions.  However, these tests are subjective and highly inaccurate.  If you are facing DUI/OUI charges, a DUI attorney at our office can question the validity of the field sobriety test results in an effort to get your charges reduced or dismissed.

After you have completed the field sobriety tests the police officer will either let you go, or he/she will ask you to submit to a breathalyzer test.  Refusing a breathalyzer test can lead to addition penalties in the future, but failing a breathalyzer test will certainly lead to an arrest.  Whatever you to decide to do, a skilled Berkshire DUI attorney at our firm can contest the results of the breath test.

Contact Massachusetts DUI Defense Group

If you fail the breathalyzer test, if you refuse the test, or if the officer has reasonable cause to believe you are too intoxicated to be driving a vehicle, you will be arrested and taken into police custody, where you will be booked on DUI/OUI charges and you will be scheduled for an arraignment at Northern Berkshire District Court.  At this time, it is important to contact the Massachusetts DUI Defense Group.  Our skilled Berkshire County DUI lawyers can aggressively challenge the prosecution's case, stand up for your rights, and help you fight your charges.
