Massachusetts DUI Laws

In the state of Massachusetts, it is illegal to drive or operate a motor vehicle if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. According to state DUI law, a person is considered too impaired to drive if his or her blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is .08% or higher. If a driver is under the age of 21, he or she is prohibited from driving if his or her BAC is higher than .02%. Any driver in Boston or throughout the state of Massachusetts found driving with a BAC at or above the legal limit will be arrested and booked on DUI charges. At this time, it’s best to contact a seasoned Boston DUI lawyer who has the experience and skill to defend you in court. Judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement authorities have no tolerance for people who drive under the influence, and always prosecute those people harshly in court.

  • OUI Charges Against Landscape Architect Dismissed

    Our client is a landscape architect well known in the suburban Boston area. In December of 2023 police officers on patrol observed a car driven by our client cross over marked lanes on several occasions. They stopped the car and noticed that our client's eyes were bloodshot and glassy. He had slurred speech. He smelled of alcohol. He admitted to consuming alcohol short before getting pulled over. The officers asked him to perform several field sobriety tests, the horizontal gaze nystagmus test, the walk and turn test and the one legged stand test. The officers claimed that our client failed all of these tests and he was charged with OUI in violation of G.L. c. 90 section 24. Attorney Stephen Neyman was hired. We succeeded in getting this case dismissed prior to trial.

    The defendant in this case was originally represented by another attorney. He pled guilty to OUI, G.L. c. 90 section 24 and was placed on probation with the condition that he have random tests with the SCRAM device. That condition proved onerous and interfered with nearly every aspect of the defendant's life. Accordingly, he hired our office to get that condition removed. Today we convinced the judge to relieve the defendant of the SCRAM obligation.
