Massachusetts DUI Lawyers

Massachusetts DUI lawyers handle drunk driving related cases. DUI is when someone drives or is in actual physical control of a motor vehicle and is under the influence of alcohol, controlled substance to the extent that his/her mental faculties are impaired.

What Criminal Penalties Follow A DUI Conviction?

A DUI conviction may affix criminal penalties such as fines, jail, probation, and/or community service. There are mandatory minimum penalties for first-time offenses and increased penalties for each additional offense thereafter. Drivers with prior DUI convictions should be aware that minimums are just that!! Conservative Judges and zealous Prosecutors will seek lengthy jail sentences for multiple offenders?especially for those who are still on probation for a prior offense. It is therefore critical to have an experienced Massachusetts DUI Attorney who is familiar with the Court you are assigned and how to avoid harsh jail sentences. The look-back period for multiple offenses has been increased from 7 years to 10 years. Drivers with prior convictions for offenses, which were more than 7 years from the date of their prior offense, may have a constitutional challenge to the retroactive increase and should contact a Massachusetts DUI Attorney who specializes in Drunk Driving Defense. The severity of criminal penalties will vary according to the circumstances of the offense that include, but are not limited to: whether the driver has a history of DUI violations, whether the driver was operating a commercial vehicle at the time of the DUI, whether the DUI violation occurred while there was a child in the vehicle, whether the DUI violation occurred simultaneously with another dangerous moving violation; i.e. reckless driving, whether the DUI violation involved a car accident in which property damage occurred, whether the DUI violation involved a car accident in which another person was injured or killed, and whether the driver was under the legal drinking age at the time of the DUI violation.
