First I told the cop I had two beers, then three. Then after the field tests I admitted drinking "Like, six beers." Joe somehow managed to get that final very incriminating statement thrown out at a Motion to Suppress so we then had a fighting chance at trial. Then when he got in front of the jury he totally debunked the field tests the cop said I failed. After the not guilty verdict, he convinced the judge to order my license restored immediately. One very persuasive fellow.

During my 3 day Trial, a constable testified he followed me for 10 minutes, saw me cross the center line and drive all over the road and completely in the opposite lane for 20 seconds. 2 cops testified I failed 3 of 4 field tests, was unsteady on my feet and had a “1000 yard stare.” Joe stressed that I stopped at every red light, proceeded when they turned green, was wearing heavy work boots and the cops’ flashing lights interfered with the testing. The jury agreed. Not Guilty. No jail. No 8 year license loss.

Facing his a second offense, My client was found  a half mile from his truck which had crashed head on into a tree. He had left his driver's license in the truck, could not hold his head up, was unsteady, and had a 'stupefied' expression on his face and a strong odor of alcohol. Plus, he admitted to drinking ten beers "all over Southie." At jury trial, I convinced them that the DA hadn't proven he was actually driving the truck beyond all reasonable doubt.

Client drove over a 12 inch curb and did not stop when police flashed their lights at him. He accelerated to 50 mph with a flat tire. Cop testified he was unsteady on his feet, had an odor of alcohol and his speech was thick and slurred. We immediately filed a motion to preserve the booking video. At trial, attorney Dunn played the video showing him standing normally and speaking normally and argued there was a "disconnect" between the police report and the video. The judge agreed, acquitted him and restored his license immediately.

Quincy District Court

My client as arrested for his second OUI and refused the breath test when he reached the police station [The breath test at roadside is a screening test only and is inadmissible in court.] The RMV suspended his license for a full three years. I guided him through starting the challenge at the RMV within the required 15 days. After the RMV refused to restore his license, I appealed it up to a judge in court and we won. He can now drive legally again.
