OUI/DWI

OUI/DWI Defense Lawyers in Lawrence, Massachusetts

We probably do not have to tell you that driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is a serious charge these days. Wherever you were arrested, and whether the charge against you is technically called OUI, DWI or DUI, you have a tough, intimidating situation on your hands. We can defend you — either by fighting for acquittal/dismissal or negotiating skillfully to avoid the most damaging consequences.

Answering the Toughest Question: Should You Fight the Charge?

There is no one answer on the best way to approach OUI/DWI defense. Rather than dealing with hundreds of cases the same way, Wight & Roche is committed to looking hard and honestly at your specific situation. To provide counsel and action right for you, we consider all relevant factors, such as:

• Whether this is your first offense or you have previous OUI/DWI convictions
• Results of any Breathalyzer test or other blood alcohol content (BAC) testing — and whether all requirements for using and maintaining the equipment were met
• All the circumstances of your traffic stop and arrest — including whether the police had a valid reason to stop you and whether your rights were violated
• Any sentencing patterns, trends, or tendencies for the specific court in which you must appear
• Your personal situation and priorities — including those related to finances and overall consequences of having your driver's license revoked

There is No Substitute for Experience in the Area Courts

We frequently provide DWI defense in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts, and we know the courts of Essex County, Middlesex County, and Suffolk County Massachusetts and, Rockingham, Hillsborough and Strafford County, New Hampshire extremely well. Our knowledge and credibility in these courts enables us to deal effectively with important legal specifics such as automatic license suspension (ALS) and working to obtain a contingency without finding (CWOF).
