OUI Defense Attorney Serving Springfield
OUI Lawyer in Springfield
In Massachusetts you are subject to two different charges against you when stopped for drunk driving. You will have to deal with a Massachusetts Administrative License Suspension as well as the criminal charge for OUI also causing an additional suspension of your license. With the administrative proceeding, your license can be suspended for anywhere from 30 days and all the way up to five years for failing or refusing a chemical test. Failing a breath test is occurs when registering .08 percent or greater on a breathalyzer test. Additionally, with the criminal charges, the suspension time for your license will vary depending on your previous driving record. It is highly recommended you contact a Springfield DUI Defense Attorney to evaluate your case and have us review your options with you to protect your driving rights.
Defense Attorney for OUI Charges in Springfield
If you are a repeat offender, driving a motor vehicle when your license is already suspended for an OUI conviction must be avoided as it becomes a new criminal offense. Penalties include larger fines and substantially more jail time than on a first offense. And if you're on probation for a DUI and drive with a suspended license, you will also be violating your probation. You will end up facing penalties for the probation violation as well. Drivers who are convicted for DUI while driving on a suspended license from a prior DUI conviction will face a minimum of a 1-year mandatory jail sentence.
Being a first time offender can provide some leniency from the court. However, you will be required to participate in an approved alcohol education program. And if you are not cooperative in trying to handle the charges, such as refusing a breath test or a driver under the age of 21, then you will face the harsher penalties allowed by law.
