If you have been arrested for allegedly driving under the influence (DUI) of drugs or alcohol in Lexington, do not lose hope. At Spring & Spring, our Lexington criminal defense lawyers have been helping clients reduce and beat DUI charges – or operating under the influence (OUI), as it is called in Massachusetts – for many years. Find out how we can help you during a free case evaluation.
Hiring a former OUI prosecutor as your criminal defense attorney in Lexington can put you a step ahead of the prosecution. Your attorney will know what to expect from the other side of the case, such as how to negotiate to achieve the best possible outcome. Your lawyer will understand the most effective OUI defenses, such as arguing that you were not intoxicated or that the police made a mistake during your traffic stop.
Attorney Chris Spring will personalize your defense according to its unique factors. We will investigate your case and gather evidence that can be used to establish your defense, such as proof of an inaccurate blood alcohol content (BAC) test or skewed field sobriety test results. Our DUI lawyers will submit motions and attend hearings on your behalf to fight for your rights while you focus on your future.
During a traffic stop, an officer may ask you to conduct a breath test if he or she has reason to suspect intoxication. Refusing a breathalyzer in Massachusetts can result in an administrative suspension of your license for one year. You do not, however, have to comply with field sobriety tests.
If you get arrested for allegedly driving under the influence in Lexington, you will be taken to the police station to be “booked,” or to give your mugshots and fingerprints. During your arrest and any subsequent questioning, use your right to remain silent. Do not answer police questions or say anything other than to ask to have an attorney present. Then, contact an OUI defense lawyer as soon as possible.
