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.  

I've dealt with a lot of lawyers but Joe is definitely the best.  He kept me informed through the entire case with emails and copies of documents.  At Trial, the cop testified I committed 4 traffic infractions, had slurred speech, was unsteady when I got out of my car and failed the one leg stand, walk and turn and alphabet tests. Plus, the booking sergeant testified I had a strong odor of alcohol and saw me sway during booking. Joe was unbelievable at Trial and turned the tables on them both. The jury was out only 40 minutes. Not Guilty 2nd offense OUI.

Thanks for all your help, and especially for your timely and quick responses when I was first faced with this situation. I look forward to many years of violation free driving after you reduced my five year refusal suspension to just 9 months. I've given up both alcohol and tobacco and will begin training for my 21st consecutive Boston Marathon in September. I will be glad to advocate on your behalf as a DUI Lawyer. All the best, Philip M.

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.'

Joe is the best of many lawyers I've dealt with. Kept me up to date with emails and copies of documents through the entire case. At trial, the officer said I made four traffic violations, my speech was slurred, I was unsteady on my feet, and I failed the one-leg stand, walk and turn, and alphabet tests. The cop who booked me said I had a "strong" odor of alcohol and was swaying. Joe was incredible and turned the tables on both of them. The jury quickly voted not guilty.

Waltham District Court

Client was stopped for speeding and arrested for OUI. He failed the breathalyzer at the station a well over the legal limit. Before advising him how to proceed, I insisted on scrutinizing the booking video and discerned that the breath test was not properly administered. I was able to show this to a Judge at a Motion to Suppress Hearing. The Judge agreed and excluded the breath test from evidence at Trial.

See court order excluding breath test.

My client was arrested after a chase by the police and elected to take the breathalyzer at the station house. He failed it over limit and his license was suspended immediately. After viewing the booking video, I could see that the test was not properly administered and recommended my client challenge it. After a full Hearing on my Motion to Suppress evidence, the Judge threw the breath test out of court.

My client, charged with his 2nd offense, had refused the Breathalyzer and the RMV immediately suspended him for a full three years. I advised him that there was a loophole in the then current statute allowing for a reduction of this to just 6 months through the Board of Appeals. I presented the Board with my Memorandum detailing this and the Board accordingly reduced his three year suspension to just six months.
