At Ohlson & Ohlson in Woburn, our attorneys defend clients throughout Massachusetts, who have been charged with drunk driving, or known as OUI or DWI. Massachusetts takes driving under the influence very seriously, and at a minimum, drivers who are convicted may face significant jail time, license suspension and hefty fines even for a first offense for OUI.

Peabody Drunk Driving Defense Lawyers

A conviction for driving under the influence can have a serious impact on your future and your reputation. As an experienced Massachusetts defense lawyer, George Ohlson has successfully defended clients by thoroughly reviewing the situation, the arrest and the evidence in the prosecution's case:

• DUI stop: Was there a reasonable suspicion to stop your vehicle? Were there signs that suggested to the officer that the driver was impaired? If not, the evidence may be excluded and your case dismissed. This includes stops at roadblocks and sobriety checkpoints, which are common in Massachusetts.

• Field sobriety tests: Field sobriety tests must be administered by the officer according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration manual. A failure to follow this manual may prevent the results from being admissible.

• Blood tests: If you agreed to a blood test, it may be appropriate to look at whether the blood alcohol content was actually above the limit of .08 by having an independent lab retest the blood sample.

• Breath tests: Breath test machines that are not properly maintained, are not properly calibrated or that were operated by someone without the proper certification, may give inaccurate results.

We will do all we can to mitigate the penalties that you are facing and help you move through the process as efficiently and effectively as possible.
