Yes, even though 24D resolution sounds simple. A first-offense OUI is a criminal charge with lifetime consequences. You will have a permanent criminal record entry, your insurance will roughly double for 6 years, your CDL will be disqualified for 1 year, and immigration status can be affected for non-citizens. A Massachusetts DUI lawyer evaluates whether the traffic stop was legal, whether the field sobriety tests were properly administered, whether the breath test machine was in compliance with Draeger 9510 protocols, and whether the arrest meets probable cause. We routinely get OUI cases dismissed or reduced to negligent operation (a civil motor vehicle infraction) that self-represented drivers would simply plead out on. Bank & Munns offers free consultations and handles first-offense OUI statewide.
