One Mistake Shouldn’t Define Your Future—Let’s Fight for a Better Outcome
What You Need to Know About DUI/OUI in Massachusetts
Under Massachusetts law, it’s illegal to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% or higher (or any level that impairs your ability to drive safely). Penalties increase with repeat offenses, refusal to take a breathalyzer, or involvement in an accident.
Even a first offense can lead to:
- Loss of license (up to 1 year)
- Fines and court costs
- Possible jail time
- Mandatory alcohol education programs
- Long-term insurance increases
But you do have rights—and legal defenses may be available depending on how the stop, field sobriety tests, or breathalyzer were conducted.
How Fiorentino Legal Defends DUI Charges
Attorney Christopher Fiorentino approaches every DUI case with precision, discretion, and a commitment to achieving the best possible outcome:
- Review of the stop: We challenge whether the traffic stop was legal and whether your rights were violated.
- Breath and field sobriety test analysis: These tests can be flawed. We examine how yours were conducted.
- License preservation: We represent you at RMV hearings and fight for reinstatement when possible.
- Courtroom strategy: Whether it's dismissal, reduction, or a strong trial defense, we tailor our plan to your case.
From Quincy District Court to downtown Boston, DUI enforcement and prosecution vary by jurisdiction. Fiorentino Legal’s local familiarity helps us anticipate how your case will be handled—and prepares you for what to expect.
