Aggressive Defense for Multiple OUI/DUI Offenses in Boston

If you are facing OUI charges, but have already been convicted or charged with OUI/DUI in the past, you will need to find an aggressive and skilled Boston OUI attorney to defend you against your charges.  Multiple OUI offenses are taken very seriously in the state of Massachusetts, and a conviction for a second, third, fourth, and fifth OUI will result in enhanced penalties.

If you are found guilty of a subsequent OUI, you can expect to face an increase in penalties.   In Massachusetts, drivers who commit multiple OUI/DUI offenses are given “repeat offender” status.  This status is used by judges for purposes of increasing mandatory minimum punishment and sentencing.  A judge can review your entire criminal record when determining the sentencing and penalties for a new OUI charge.

Melanie’s Law & Ignition Interlock Device

In 2005, Melanie’s Law was signed into Massachusetts state law with the purpose of enhancing the penalties and administrative sanctions for OUI offenders.   Under Melanie’s Law, a driver with a second or subsequent OUI conviction who is eligible for a hardship license or license reinstatement will be required to have an ignition interlock device installed in any vehicle that the driver owns.   The ignition interlock device must be used the entire time the driver has the hardship license, and for two additional years after the driver’s regular license has been reinstated.   The ignition interlock device works by the driver blowing into the device before starting the vehicle.  If the driver blows anything higher than .02 percent, the car will not start. Every 30 days, the driver must bring the device to the vendor, who will report the results to the RMV.
