Boston DUI/OUI Defense Attorney

Repeat Offenders

If you are what is termed a "repeat offender" and are charged with a second or more DUI charge in Boston, this is a serious legal situation.  Even if your earlier DUI or OUI conviction was 10, 20 or even more years in the past, you will still be considered a repeat offender under Massachusetts law.  A "look-back" into your past record is allowed in DUI cases.  This creates a very concerning situation for the individual.  The penalties for a second, third or more DUI conviction become extreme.  Do not consider going to court without a Boston DUI Defense Attorney at your side fighting for your defense.

If an accident has occurred in the second DUI charge, and the individual is convicted, it will result in a 10 year suspension of your driver's license when the accused refuses to take the breathalyzer test.  If a fatality occurs and the individual has refused the test, your license will be revoked for life.  There is a 12 hour impoundment of your vehicle if you fail the breathalyzer test.  If you have a third or more conviction of a DUI charge, your license plates can be cancelled for the duration of the suspension of your license.  A fourth DUI conviction is a felony offense, and the prosecutor can seek to have you forfeit your vehicle.  There are also extended periods of time spent in jail and steep fines.  You will be required to have an "ignition interlock device" installed in your vehicle.

Some individuals decide to plead guilty because they don't know what else to do.  In fact, if you are charged with a second or more DUI offense, it is strongly advised that you talk to a Boston DUI Defense Attorney immediately after your arrest.  There are likely options for your defense that you had not considered and an attorney can advise you how best to move forward and protect your freedom to drive and avoid the serious repercussions that you face.  With a thorough review of your case, the legal team can determine a defense strategy and will aggressively fight on your behalf.
