Building a DUI Case in Massachusetts - Key Steps

Securing a DUI conviction requires the prosecution to prove specific elements beyond a reasonable doubt. Below, we have highlighted the specific elements the prosecution must prove for a DUI charge:

  • Motor Vehicle Operation
  • Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) Level
  • Impaired Driving Ability
  • Refusal of Chemical Testing
  • Prior DUI Convictions
  • Aggravating Circumstances (e.g., driving with a minor in the vehicle, causing injury or property damage, or having an exceptionally high BAC level)

Take Prompt Action

Facing a DUI charge requires proactive steps on your part. Here's what you can do to strengthen your defense:

Gather Evidence

Collect any documentation related to the arrest, including the police report and any witness statements you can obtain.

Recall Details

While memories may blur, try to recall the events leading up to your arrest as accurately as possible. Do note down details like the time of day, weather conditions, and any medications you consumed beforehand.

Avoid Self-Incrimination

Do not admit guilt to the arresting officer or discuss the details of your case on social media.

Seek Legal Counsel

Contact an experienced DUI attorney as soon as possible. The sooner they can begin investigating your case, the better chance is your chances of getting an acquittal.

Be Honest and Transparent

During your consultation with your attorney, be completely honest about the details of your arrest. Withholding critical information will not go in your favor.
