DUI & OUI Defense
Your Freedom, Your License, Your Future — Defended
If you’ve been arrested for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) or Operating Under the Influence (OUI), you’re likely feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and uncertain about what comes next. A conviction could cost you your license, your job, and even your freedom — but it doesn’t have to end that way. At Jacob S. Solkoff, LLC, we bring deep experience and aggressive advocacy to every DUI case we handle, fighting hard to protect your rights at every stage of the process.
From the initial traffic stop to the courtroom, we scrutinize every detail of your case to build a strong and strategic defense. Whether it’s your first arrest or a repeat offense, we’re here to guide you through the legal system and fight for the best possible outcome.
Understanding DUI & OUI Charges
In Massachusetts, a person can be charged with DUI or OUI for:
- Driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher
- Driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or a combination
- Refusing a chemical test (in Massachusetts, this triggers an automatic license suspension)
Penalties vary based on the number of prior offenses, BAC level, and whether there was property damage or injury involved. Common consequences include:
- Driver’s license suspension or revocation
- Heavy fines and court fees
- Mandatory alcohol education programs
- Installation of an ignition interlock device
- Probation or jail time
- Long-term impact on employment and insurance
Our goal is to avoid or reduce these consequences through focused and effective legal representation.
How We Defend DUI Charges
Every DUI case has unique facts — and often, the prosecution’s case has weaknesses. We explore every angle to challenge the charges, including:
- Illegal traffic stops or lack of probable cause
- Improperly administered field sobriety tests
- Inaccurate or uncalibrated breathalyzers
- Faulty or mishandled blood tests
- Violation of your constitutional rights
Even if the evidence seems strong, we can often negotiate for reduced penalties, entry into diversion programs, or alternatives to conviction.
First-Time Offenders vs. Repeat DUI Charges
We understand how frightening a first DUI charge can be. For first-time offenders, we often pursue alternative sentencing options to avoid a permanent criminal record.
For clients facing a second, third, or felony DUI, the stakes are higher — including long-term license loss. In these cases, we provide the aggressive, experienced representation necessary to contest every aspect of the prosecution’s case.
Refusing a Breath or Blood Test
Under implied consent laws, refusing a chemical test can result in automatic license suspension. However, these cases are not always cut-and-dry. We can help you challenge the suspension at the administrative hearing and fight the criminal case separately in court.
