OUI Northampton Law – Commitment To Justice

DEFENDING YOU AGAINST AN OUI (Operating Under the Influence) CHARGE

The state of Massachusetts has strict laws regarding OUI (operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol), sometimes referred to in other states as DUI (driving under the influence) or DWI (driving while intoxicated). Being charged with, or even guilty of, a “crime” does not necessarily make one a “criminal”. We understand very well that good people can end up in bad situations. In OUI cases, we explore every potential defense, including illegal police conduct, lack of critical proof, or creative challenges to the law; but whether it means humanizing a responsible client and arguing passionately for the best possible disposition, or throwing flaming barrels of oil in the path of the prosecution at every stage of the criminal process, our representation will be of the highest quality, both personally and professionally. Our attorneys have earned the respect of judges, court personnel, and prosecutors and have achieved extraordinary success over the years defending criminal charges of all nature.

OUR MISSION

Regardless of one’s profession, reputation should be a priority – not only with clients, but also with colleagues, court personnel, and financial and other institutions. With the help of a talented and dedicated staff of paralegals and office professionals, the goal is to produce legal work of the highest quality in a manner which is timely, efficient, and valuable. Accomplishing this goal consistently requires careful preparation, skillful communication, and a willingness to respond to adversity with strength and perseverance.
