Boston OUI Lawyer - Attorney Michael DelSignore How Attorney DelSignore Defends a Boston OUI

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.

A careless decision on my part left me facing charges which would have severely hampered my ability to stay employed and support myself. But attorney DelSignore's skillful analysis and challenging of the evidence against me resulted in a conviction on a lesser charge. Now I'll be able to go on with my life, having learned a lesson I'll never forget. Thank you, Michael. Scott

I cannot express the gratitude towards Michael for his amazing work and help. It was a very stressful event and they certainly put me at as much ease as possible. From start to finish it took 14 months and all the way through they were both very engaged with me. Today was worth the wait, Michael was great in court and I was rightfully found not guilty. I would recommend Michael over and over again. Claire
