Westborough OUI Lawyer

Attorney Michael DelSignore has defended clients charged with OUI/DUI out of the Westborough District Court for more than 20 years and is well known to the court for his trial work in drunk driving cases. He has been recognized nationally by the National College for DUI Defense for his work challenging field sobriety testing and the limits of an officer’s opinion testimony in an OUI drugs case originating in Worcester County.

Attorney DelSignore was also featured on Worcester News Tonight discussing a judge’s decision to exclude breathalyzer results from evidence – a result he secured for a client in Westborough.

Do not assume your case cannot be won because you failed a breath test. I have won many cases throughout Massachusetts, and in Westborough specifically, involving failed breath test results. If your lawyer suggests a quick plea without first understanding how that test would actually be admitted at trial, you owe it to yourself to get a second opinion.

Many police departments in the Westborough area use cruiser-camera and booking video. In Attorney DelSignore’s experience, this video frequently helps the defense – showing that a client performed better on field sobriety tests than the police report suggests, that there was no slurred speech, and what conditions the tests were actually performed under.

The Westborough District Court is located at 186 Oak Street, Westborough, MA 01581, and hears cases originating in:

• Westborough
• Northborough
• Grafton
• Shrewsbury
• Southborough

Because the Westborough District Court does not summons jurors, any case proceeding to a jury trial is transferred to the Worcester District Court after evidentiary motions are resolved. Attorney DelSignore maintains an office at 1900 West Park Drive, Suite 280, Westborough, MA 01581.

The officer alleged the client failed two field sobriety tests, had an odor of alcohol, and had bloodshot, glassy eyes, and the client registered a .14 on the breath test. Attorney DelSignore convinced the judge the breath test results were not reliable enough to convict under the per se theory, and the client was found not guilty.

The client was facing a second OUI charge after police stopped the vehicle based on a tip from an unknown source. Attorney DelSignore filed a motion to dismiss, arguing the officer lacked reasonable suspicion for the stop. The Commonwealth could not meet its burden to show the tip was reliable, and the case was dismissed.

Every case is different. Past results described above do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future case.

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.
