Why an Attorney?

Representation for Boston OUI/DUI Offenses

A person arrested for OUI (operating under the influence) or DUI (driving under the influence) may wonder what benefits come with hiring a private criminal defense attorney to handle their case. Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to simply accept the plea bargain the prosecuting attorney has offered? What are the advantages of involving an attorney as early as possible?

With over two decades of experience in criminal law, Boston OUI lawyer Thomas A. Brant understands how to put his legal knowledge and skill to work for his clients as he defends their interests not just in criminal court but at their license suspension hearings as well. He offers a free initial consultation to discuss your case and inform you of exactly what he can do to help you with your case.

There are a multitude of reasons why a person should consider consulting an OUI defense attorney as soon as possible in the wake of an arrest. From the moment you are taken into custody and read your Miranda rights, anything that you say or do may be used against you in the future. From this point on, having a legal professional to represent you will be crucial. During police questioning and in any and all court proceedings, your attorney will be there to ensure that you don’t say or do anything that may result in unintentional self-incrimination.

At this time, your attorney can also begin investigating all aspects of your charges, including independently analyzing the breath or blood test that was administered upon your arrest. Your attorney can review police reports, talk to witnesses and work with experts in forensic evidence in order to begin building your case. And this is just the beginning. By aggressively representing your interests in court, your lawyer can work to minimize penalties and help you avoid a conviction altogether.
