Knowledgeable and Aggressive
DUI Defense Attorneys Representing Clients
 In The Springfield District Court

The first thing you need to do is (quickly!) retain the services of an aggressive DUI attorney who has experience working with the Hampden County District Attorney's Office.

Our attorneys advocate on your behalf throughout the entire DUI court process.  When you retain our services, we begin working to defend your rights immediately.  We will take over all communication from law enforcement officers and investigators and we will become your voice and representation in all aspects of your case, including your Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) Hearing.   

Our lawyers know that the District Attorney's Office has a lot of power and influence in drunk driving cases; after all, they are the ones who take the case from the police and decide whether or not to pursue it in the Springfield District Court. 

Accordingly, the first thing we'll do is scrutinize every aspect of your case.  Most likely, we'll find ways to challenge the evidence, use one of our favorite defenses, and help you beat your DUI charge.

Know Your Rights and Best Defenses
To An OUI/DUI Charge

An aggressive and experienced DUI attorney knows that just because the police officer claims you "failed" your field sobriety test - or that your breathalyzer was above the Massachusetts .08% limit (.02 if the driver is Under 21) - does not necessarily mean that you will be convicted in court or that you will lose your Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) Hearing and have your driver's license suspended.  Some of our best defenses to a DUI charge are:

• The officer had no reasonable suspicion to stop you in the first place.  An investigatory stop is unconstitutional if the stop is not supported by reasonable suspicion of any criminal activity.  Accordingly, if the police officer lacked a valid reason for making the stop, all evidence of drunk driving obtained as a result of your unlawful stop must be suppressed.

• Your blood/breath alcohol level was rising at the time you were stopped by the officer and even though the test results indicated you were above the legal limit when you were tested, you were actually below the limit at the time you were driving.  Our forensic alcohol expert may project and testify what your level was at the time of driving, thus revealing inaccuracies regarding the Commonwealth's test results.  Listen how we defend our clients against failed Breath Tests here.

• Even though the officer may describe your failed field sobriety tests so that it appears as though you were under the influence of alcohol - or drugs - any impairment you may have exhibited was not caused by alcohol, but rather by other factors.  A forensic DUI expert can help establish that factors other than alcohol (uneven road surfaces, poor weather conditions, high heels, etc.) can cause poor performance on field sobriety tests.
