Boston First OUI Offense Attorney
Boston DUI and OUI Lawyer
There are numerous negative consequences associated with an OUI conviction in Massachusetts. Although the penalties for a first offense are the least serious, they may still affect a driver in a number of ways and for many years to come.
Boston OUI attorney Scott D. Bradley offers aggressive criminal defense representation to drivers who have been arrested for a first-time drunk driving offense. His knowledge in this field as well as his dedicated service and aggressive representation have enabled him to help many defendants in all walks of life in the face of OUI arrests, license suspension hearings and charges.
Boston First OUI Charges & Penalties
Depending upon the driver’s blood alcohol concentration and the particular circumstances of the case, he or she may face the following penalties for a first OUI offense:
- Up to 2 ½ years imprisonment
- Fines of up to $5,000
- Driver’s license suspension for up to 1 year
Alternative sentencing may be available, and your lawyer can explore this option on your behalf. A 16-week drug/alcohol education program paid for by the defendant and probation are two possible alternatives that may be considered. It is important to retain an attorney who has experience obtaining these alternatives, because it can often keep an OUI off of your record.
You have never received a DUI or OUI conviction previously, but you are now facing charges involving drunk driving. In this serious situation, you need the best representation you can get. You can avoid having a criminal record, damaging your reputation and avoiding a conviction by working with a highly skilled legal professional who will have your best interests in mind.
