OUI Lawyer in Cambridge Defending Your Rights and Freedoms

Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a serious, dangerous crime that can have severe repercussions even though it may seem minor at the time. In Massachusetts, this offense is called operating under the influence (OUI), and if you’re facing charges after being pulled over for suspected intoxication behind the wheel, an OUI lawyer in Cambridge can help.
If you have been charged with an OUI, it’s important to find an experienced and professional attorney who understands how difficult your life can be while dealing with these types of accusations and trying to fight them off without complete legal representation. A tough OUI charge should never derail someone’s future plans; however, it could do just that unless there is a strong defense.
OUI cases can be overwhelming and complicated, so it’s important to contact an OUI attorney as soon as possible after being accused of this crime. The sooner you seek legal advice from a Cambridge OUI lawyer, the better your chances of having charges against you dropped or reduced and avoiding long-term penalties.

How Do OUIs Happen?

Massachusetts is a state that takes drunk driving extremely seriously. In fact, this offense carries some of the most severe penalties in the country with a minimum license suspension and penalty points assessed to your driver’s license for three years. With such strict consequences waiting on the other end, you may think twice before getting behind the wheel after drinking alcohol or taking drugs. However, many people who find themselves facing OUI charges didn’t even realize they were intoxicated at all.
In most cases that lead to an OUI arrest, drivers:

  • drink alcohol while out at a bar or restaurant
  • drive after drinking too much while under peer pressure from friends or

However, sometimes people are arrested for OUI because of other factors. Anyone who endangers themselves and others on the road can face stiff penalties, regardless of their involvement in an alleged OUI incident.

Will I Go to Jail If I’m Convicted of an OUI?

A conviction for OUI could lead to jail time, depending on how far over the limit you were when you were pulled over. There is a mandatory minimum sentence of 30 days in jail if you have a prior OUI conviction within the past 10 years. If your charge was upgraded from a first or second offense to a third, there is a mandatory sentence with even stricter fines and penalties.
In addition to serving time behind bars, an OUI conviction comes with big fees and substantial license suspensions that can force you into financial hardship which just adds more stress to your plate. Convictions also hurt your record when trying to find a job, losing out on money, and having to worry about how you’re going to keep up with your daily routine if unable to drive.

Are OUI Attorneys Worth It?

If you are unsure whether or not you will end up with an OUI conviction, contact a Cambridge OUI lawyer today. Your punishment may not mean getting behind bars for days on end; however, it could come in other forms that are no less important. The costs of fines along with increased insurance rates aren’t easy burdens to shoulder alone, so reach out for help from someone who can guide you through these tough times.

Why Should I Hire a OUI Attorney?

Facing an OUI charge is serious, but with the help of an experienced attorney who knows how to work within the court system and build strong defenses on behalf of clients, there may still be room for success if results aren’t initially achieved. Your future freedom and safety depend on finding good legal representation when dealing with these types of charges; therefore, it’s crucial to ensure that anyone representing your case knows how to work successfully in a court of law. Let us represent your OUI case to get the criminal defense you deserve. Contact us as soon as possible to get started!
