Every OUI case moves through the same court process. Here's what to expect — and where your defense can make a difference:

Arraignment — Your first court date. Charges are formally read, a not guilty plea is entered, and Attorney DelSignore receives the police report. This is where building your case begins.

Pretrial Conference — Attorney DelSignore digs into all available evidence: cruiser video, body camera footage, breath test records, and the officer's log. This is where defense strategy takes shape.

Motions — If evidence was obtained improperly, Attorney DelSignore files to suppress it. Common grounds include unlawful traffic stops, improperly administered field sobriety tests, and breathalyzer calibration failures. A successful motion can dramatically change the outcome of your case — or end it entirely.

Trial — If the case goes to trial, the Commonwealth must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you were impaired. That is a high bar, and Attorney DelSignore knows how to hold them to it. During your consultation, he will show you the actual exhibits used at trial to expose the flaws in field sobriety testing. Juries find this compelling — because the science backs it up.

Challenging the Traffic Stop Police need a lawful reason to pull you over. If they didn't have one, everything that followed — the field sobriety tests, any breath test, the arrest itself — may be suppressible. An unlawful stop can result in dismissal.

Attacking Field Sobriety Tests These tests are far less reliable than most people believe. Nervousness, road conditions, poor lighting, medical issues, and officer instruction errors all affect performance. Attorney DelSignore understands exactly how these tests are supposed to be administered and knows how to show a jury — or a judge — where the officer fell short.

Contesting Breath Test Results A breathalyzer result is not the end of your case. These machines require precise calibration and strict procedural compliance. They also make assumptions about your physiology that may not apply to you. Attorney DelSignore has successfully challenged breath test evidence in cases across Massachusetts.

First Offense OUI — NOT GUILTY (Jury Trial) The client was stopped for speeding, performed field sobriety tests, and allegedly admitted to having 4.5 drinks. Attorney DelSignore presented her sister as a witness, who confirmed she did not believe her sister was intoxicated. The jury agreed: not guilty.

OUI in Parking Lot — NOT GUILTY (Jury Trial) Police found the client asleep behind the wheel with the keys in the ignition. Attorney DelSignore argued at trial that the client wasn't impaired — he was tired, and he was doing the responsible thing by resting before driving. The jury found him not guilty, and he avoided the license loss that comes with a conviction.

These aren't flukes. They're the result of preparation, local knowledge, and knowing how to connect with a jury.

Can I actually win my OUI case in Attleboro? Yes. Especially when procedures weren't followed correctly or the evidence is thinner than it looks on paper. Attorney DelSignore's goal in every case is a not guilty verdict — and that outcome is more achievable than most people realize when they first reach out.

What if I refused the breath test? You'll face an automatic license suspension, but your case may actually be easier to defend. Without chemical test evidence, the prosecution has to rely entirely on the officer's observations — and those can be challenged.

Is a CWOF a good deal? Not always, and often not for first-time offenders. A Continuance Without a Finding is still an admission to the charge and counts as a prior offense if you're ever charged again. Attorney DelSignore will make sure you fully understand your defense options before considering accepting anything.

Will getting treatment hurt my case? No. Seeking treatment for an alcohol issue will not hurt your defense — first offense or subsequent. Attorney DelSignore can help clients address both their case and their wellbeing at the same time.

How long will my case take? Most cases take several months. If the case goes to trial, plan on six months or more. Attorney DelSignore keeps clients informed every step of the way so there's never any uncertainty about where things stand.

Will I lose my license right away? In most situations, yes — but there are paths to restoring driving privileges, including hearings and hardship licenses. Attorney DelSignore helps clients find the fastest, most effective route back to the road.

Facing an OUI charge in Attleboro is serious. But it is not hopeless. The right defense, built on local knowledge and real courtroom experience, can make all the difference.
