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.

  • Motion to Modify Probation to Remove SCRAM Device Allowed

    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.

  • Continuance Without a Finding (CWOF) and 24D Program For School Teacher Charged With OUI

    In May of this year police responded to a motor vehicle accident involving our client, an inner city school teacher. Officers detected a strong odor of alcohol on our client. She was unsteady on her feet. She failed all field sobriety tests and she blew a .17 breathalyzer. She was charged with OUI liquor in violation of G.L. c. 90 section 24. Electing not to risk a trial and looking to put this matter behind her, our client opted to have the matter continued without a finding (CWOF) under the 24D disposition. After a successful completion of probation the charges against our client will be dismissed.

  • Conditions of Probation Modified to Eliminate SCRAM Device

    Before we represented this individual he had been convicted of OUI under G.L. c 90 section 24. While on probation he picked up another OUI and our office was hired. His violation of probation prompted the judge to put him on the SCRAM device requiring him to provide random breath samples three time a day. After several months of successfully following the judge's order, we moved to remove that condition. The judge accepted our argument and the random breathalyzer requirement no longer exists.
