Natick OUI Lawyer

Attorney Michael DelSignore is a Natick OUI Lawyer that has a 20 year career of helping people avoid OUI convictions. If you were arrested and your case is going to be heard in the Natick District Court, Attorney DelSignore can help you make the best decisions for yourself on how to handle your case. The Natick District Court is in the same building as the Framingham District court and this is a Court that Attorney DelSignore has been highly successful in over the years.

Attorney DelSignore’s goal is to help you avoid an OUI conviction. The biggest mistake people make when charged with OUI are the following:

1. Believing that accepting a CWOF is the same as a dismissal of the criminal charges; a CWOF is an admission to OUI; while it is technically not a conviction, often people believe that a CWOF means they do not have an OUI charge on their record. While it may not come up on low level background checks, a CWOF will always count as a prior OUI offense.
2. Assuming that the case cannot be won because of a failed breath test result; Attorney DelSignore regularly wins cases with failed breath test results and frequently will challenge the accuracy and reliability of the breath test in Court.
3. Misunderstanding the license implication of refusing a breath test or taking one an failing. If you took a breath test that was over .08., you can get your full license back in 30 days; even if the case is still pending. If you refused, you face a 180 day suspension.

When you are arrested for OUI in Natick, the police must prove three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

1. That you operated a Motor Vehicle;
2. On a Public Way;
3. That you were under the influence of alcohol at the time of operation.

Some who call after a DUI arrest want a quick resolution. In Massachusetts, the only quick resolution is accepting a plea and admitting to the charge. Fighting a case requires that it go through the court process. Once you separate the facts about dealing with an OUI from common misunderstandings about the law you will have the ability to make an informed decision regarding your case.

It is very easy to get arrested for an OUI in Natick or anywhere in Massachusetts. But fortunately the evidence required for an arrest in much lower than that for a conviction. To prove a case in Court, the Commonwealth needs to present evidence proving the charge beyond a reasonable doubt, which means the highest degree of certainty in the matter of human affairs. It is not enough for the Commonwealth to establish a probability—even if it is strong, that is still not enough evidence to convict a person of OUI or any other crime. When a jury is informed and instructed regarding the heavy burden to prove a case in Court, may times the evidence presented does not meet the high level of proof to support a conviction.

When you are arrested by the Natick police department, you are brought into a big room with a large desk in front of it. The police department has a video of the booking process, that does not include sound. The video will show how you stand and move about during the booking process and will assist with a motion to exclude the breath test on procedural grounds. This video will typically be provided at a pretrial conference so you should not expect to receive it at the arraignment.
