Boston OUI Attorney: Serving All of Massachusetts
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, drunk driving is referred to as "operating under the influence" (OUI). OUI charges will be filed against you if you are found to be driving a car, truck or other vehicle with a blood alcohol content of .08 percent or higher. Consequences are even stricter for drivers who are under 21.

Don't Take an OUI-DUI Lightly
If you are convicted, the penalties can be harsh and include:
- Imprisonment
- Large fines
- Driver's license suspension
- Probation
- Community service
- DUI school
Additionally, you may be barred from certain types of jobs, especially if those jobs require you to have a commercial driver's license or be on the road for significant amounts of time. The stakes can be high, so it is often worth fighting DWI charges. Drunk driving is a serious offense in Massachusetts, and the district attorneys who prosecute these cases on behalf of the state will come after you aggressively.
Drinking Alcohol Is Not a Crime
Contrary to popular belief, driving after the consumption of alcohol is not a crime. A crime is committed only if you are operating a motor vehicle on a public roadway and are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. If the district attorney fails to prove any of these elements
beyond a reasonable doubt, our attorneys will argue that your case should be dismissed.
If you want information about fighting your OUI charge, it is important to consult an experienced OUI attorney who can advise you about your options. At the Massachusetts Criminal Defense Group, our lawyers are highly experienced attorneys who have in-depth knowledge of each courtroom in the state. Each one of our lawyers is assigned to specific courts, allowing us to defend our clients effectively — we do not have to get up to speed on a particular court's processes.
If you are wondering about our legal fees, we are glad to answer your questions. For the quality of defense we provide, our rates are unbeatable. We offer top-level defense at a price most other solo attorneys or law firms cannot because of our statewide model and the size of our firm. We spread our fixed costs over a greater number of cases.

In addition to helping Massachusetts clients with all aspects of OUI-DUI, we assist drivers from other states who were arrested and charged with drunk driving while visiting the state. In some instances, we can handle everything so you do not have to return to Massachusetts. We also handle outstanding warrants from years past and opportunities to seal your criminal record.
We handle driving under the influence charges throughout the state and appear in all courts on behalf of clients, including:
- Boston area courts
- North Shore area courts
- South Shore area courts
- Worcester area courts

We know Massachusetts, its laws and its courts. We know where cops like to hide out to stop drunk drivers and violators of traffic laws. Let us put that knowledge to work for you.
Why Choose the Massachusetts Criminal Defense Group?
When it comes to aggressive and effective OUI-DUI defense, not all lawyers are the same. At the Massachusetts Criminal Defense Group, our attorneys find holes in the prosecution's case to give you the best chance of avoiding a conviction. For example, we know that identifying officer errors is the best way to win a Massachusetts OUI case. The Constitution holds police to high standards; errors can cause even the worst cases to be dropped or reduced to lesser charges. We will go through your case with a fine-tooth comb to see where the police made critical mistakes and, if they did, we will argue that anything they found after making that mistake should be suppressed in court.
Our resources include top expert witnesses, doctors, investigators and former law enforcement officers. Each of our lawyers understands the science behind breath and blood tests and other aspects of the science behind DUI arrests. Our fee for criminal defense includes top-notch representation and all the steps in our 18-point defense strategy.

Were you arrested on a Massachusetts road or highway on suspicion of drinking and driving? Were your traffic stop and arrest lawful? Were the field sobriety and breath tests administered correctly?
