Not Guilty: First Offense OUI, Jury Trial. Police said the client was speeding and struggled with balance on the field sobriety tests. On cross-examination, Attorney DelSignore got the officer to admit the client did very well on the nine-step walk and turn. The jury found the client not guilty in under 10 minutes.

Not Guilty: OUI, Bench Trial. State troopers said the client crossed the lane lines five times on Route 93, smelled of alcohol, slurred her speech, and failed the field sobriety tests. Attorney DelSignore showed how weather, anxiety, and exhaustion affected her performance. The judge found her not guilty.

An OUI arrest is based on an officer’s opinion, formed without knowing the driver’s medical history, their day, or how stressful a traffic stop is. Attorney DelSignore shows the jury the full picture.

Booking video. Many Boston-area police stations record booking. Away from the roadside, most people walk steadily and speak clearly, which contradicts the arrest report. DelSignore Law moves quickly to preserve these videos before they are deleted.

Field sobriety tests. A “failed” test is not a reason to plead guilty. Attorney DelSignore challenges these tests by:

• Using the police training manual to show the tests were explained or scored wrong
• Introducing medical records that explain balance problems
• Having the client explain nerves, weather, and road conditions

Breath test. A failed breath test can still be beaten. The result may be suppressed, or a defense expert may explain why the reading was wrong.

In most cases, yes. Boston OUI cases are highly defensible, and the penalty after trial is often nearly the same as a plea.
