I ended up on the REAR lawn of a house after hitting a pole and going through a fence. They drew my blood at the hospital and it was .25: more than three times the legal limit.  I was charged with my 3rd offense.  Joe --incredibly --gets the blood result thrown out. At jury trial, his Motion to exclude ALL the medical records was allowed when he showed the DA hadn’t complied with the law. He just kept chipping away at their case until there was nothing left.  

Client was in a bad accident. The EMTs reported to the police they thought he had been drinking and the cop noted a strong odor of alcohol on his breath as well as an inability to understand questions he was being asked.  He was taken to the hospital for testing and then was charged with OUI-Alcohol and Illegal Possession of Drugs. During the one year the case took, I conducted painstaking discovery and convinced the DA to drop all three charges on the date of the Motion to Suppress Evidence.

I definitely got my money's worth during my 2nd offense:

1.  He overturns my three year breath test refusal suspension so I drove legally while the case moved to Trial.
2   At a Motion, he gets the Judge to throw out my incriminating statements;
3.  At Trial, he gets me a not guilty despite a bad accident and the testimony of two witnesses.

Under Melanie’s Law, the RMV took my license away for 8 years for 3rd offense. I knew Joe had a handle on OUI law because he represented me --very successfully --5 years before. He appealed the new 8 year suspension, went to two Hearings before the Board, presented the records he had found -- from 25 years ago! -- and finally convinced them to reverse the RMV’s decision. He saved my plumbing business from going down the toilet. No joke!

David ended up on the rear lawn of a private house after driving through the front fence. He was taken to the hospital, where his blood was drawn and his alcohol level measured over three times the legal limit. At a pretrial suppression hearing, the judge allowed my motion to exclude the blood test. We now had a fighting chance at trial. On the day of trial, another judge allowed my motion to exclude all the medical records when I showed that the DA had not complied with the strictures regarding their admissibility. The jury found him not guilty of OUI in less than one hour.

'The jury was out less than one hour.'

 Newton District Court trial

In a bad accident, my client lost control of the car, struck a traffic signal, crossed the center line and ended up in the opposite lane of travel with heavy front end damage. The RMV then suspended him for three years for refusing the breath test. I then appealed the license suspension to a Judge in District Court and convinced the Judge to reverse his suspension so he got his license back while the case was still going on.
