The Crucial Role of Experience in DUI Defense: Why You Need a Seasoned Attorney

To win:

Last week, on 26 March 2025, NOT GUILTY: In Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Defendant, Docket No. 2464 CR 1900, after trial, my client was found NOT GUILTY of Operating a Motor Vehicle While Under the Influence of Drugs, Third Offense (OUID) and Possession of a Class B Substance Cocaine*. PRIOR TO WINING THIS TRIAL MY CLIENT WAS FACING A MANDATORY MINIMUM SIX (6) MONTHS IN JAIL UP TO TWO AND A HALF YEARS.

It is difficult for the Prosecution to prove OUI Drugs charges at trial without a blood test and expert testimony to interpret those tests before a jury. At a minimum the Commonwealth would need to present: (1) reliable evidence as to the amount or concentration of the drug in the defendant’s system; and (2) expert testimony indicating that the concentration of the drug in the defendant’s system would impair his or her ability to operate a motor vehicle.  No Such evidence exists in most OUID cases. The police officer IS NOT AN EXPERT. Hire an OUID lawyer with experience and a thorough understanding of the OUI Drugs law in Massachusetts and what the Prosecution must do to prove these crimes.

In this Blog OUI (Operating Under the Influence) and DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) will be used interchangeably as synonymous acronyms for the same crime know colloquially as “drunk driving”
