Conviction for driving or operating under influence means a permanent criminal record and it could lead to license cancellation, loss of jobs, ineligibility for certain jobs in future, heavy fines besides other restrictions.
In such cases, prosecutors look for blood alcohol analysis, breath test machine operators, testimony of the police office regarding field sobriety.
Over the period, as the cases of accidents after drunken driving registered increase, there is a heightened furor over drinking and driving. This has led to severe restriction on convicted people which could hamper your life style. As an example, The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) requires anyone convicted for drunken driving more than once to install an ignition interlock device in their car till their driving privileges are restored. This device is a handheld breath alcohol testing device that will not let your car start if the test registers alcohol levels of greater than .02.
Such cases need be contested with all the seriousness under expert professional counsel. Ed Sharkansky, Massachusetts OUI Lawyer, is a former prosecutor who knows ins and outs of such cases, as to where to find holes in the prosecutions working.
As a member of National College for DUI Defense, National Association of Criminal Defense Attorney, and Massachusetts Bar Association among other premier councils, he has proven track record of license recovery and acquittals for clients arrested for DUI or OUI. In one landmark case, a client was acquitted despite a breath test of .09.
Best part is that compared to attorneys of nation level repute, he is quite affordable in his fees considering the results he can deliver.
