Client charged with OUI found NOT GUILTY in the Worcester Court

In this case, the Massachusetts State Police alleged that the client had slurred speech, glassy eyes, and took a breath test that yielded a result of .08. At trial, Attorney Gaudreau argued that the breath test results were not accurate enough to conclude that the defendant was over the legal limit given the margin of error of the machine itself. After trial, the client was found not guilty.

OUI 1st offense client found NOT GUILTY after Trial in Marlborough

In this case, the Hudson police alleged the client made marked lane violations, and arrested the defendant for OUI after allegedly failing a number of field sobriety tests. Attorney Gaudreau was able to file motions prior to trial which ultimately had the breath test (a breath test result of .12) excluded from evidence. At trial, Attorney Gaudreau contested the officer’s opinion that the defendant was impaired and created a conflict in the testimony of the officers presented as witnesses. After a jury trial, the defendant was found not guilty!

★★★★★

Michael was very professional and explained the process clearly and told us to be patient. After one year the charges got dismissed in the trial. Excellent knowledge of the court systems in the area of Boston. Would highly recommend him Ashwani

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

Mike stuck with my case for 3.5 years and always kept me informed regarding the status. Ultimately, because of his due diligence, we ended up with an OUI not guilty verdict. This case could have gone many ways but his thorough review of the case and exceptional preparedness for trial ultimately drove a positive outcome. Thank you Mike! David

Michael DelSignore did an amazing job with my case! Either him or his partner Julie was always available to answer any questions I had and helped walked me through the entire process. I could not have done it without them! I highly recommend choosing this law firm to deal with your legal needs, you will not be dissatisfied. Ashley

I cannot express the gratitude towards both Michael and Julie for their 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 and Julie over and over again. Claire
