OUI Under Massachusetts State Law
In Massachusetts, drunk driving is technically defined as operating under the influence or "OUI," but it is commonly referred to as DUI or DWI. OUI charges arise when people allegedly operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or more.
At the Fitchburg, Massachusetts, law office of Steven W. Panagiotes, Attorney at Law, I represent clients facing OUI charges in Massachusetts. In addition to handling the criminal and administrative aspects of the OUI charge itself, I also handle related crimes like underage drunk driving and vehicular homicide.
To learn more about how I can help you when you are facing OUI-related vehicular homicide charges, send me an e-mail or call my law office at 978-342-4444.
I am experienced with every aspect of OUI cases — from investigation, to case preparation, negotiation with prosecutors, all the way through trial and sentencing. Using in-depth knowledge of the tactics police use against drivers, from discrimination or improperly-administered OUI/DUI roadblocks, to inaccurate breathalyzers and field sobriety tests that are meant to harass, I use my knowledge to help build strong defenses for my clients. I understand the severe penalties associated with any OUI and how an injury-causing or fatal accident allegedly resulting from it exponentially magnifies the consequences.
Throughout my career, I have experienced a tremendous record of success for my clients. To learn more about their experiences, please see my testimonials to learn more from former satisfied clients.
