You Are Facing the Toughest Drunk Driving Laws in the Nation

The 2004 passage of "Melanie's Law" resulted in Massachusetts having the toughest drunk driving laws nationwide. Regardless of the severity of the penalties, you need to be aware of what you may face and the options you have if convicted of an OUI.

At the law office of Joseph J. Goldberg-Giuliano, Attorney at Law, attorney Goldberg-Giuliano always fights for the most beneficial outcome. Many attorneys may head straight for a plea bargain. However, attorney Goldberg-Giuliano takes a more methodical and aggressive approach that seeks to obtain a dismissal or acquittal in efforts to avoid conviction and sentencing all together.

Attorney Goldberg-Giuliano is at your side from the time of your arrest until your case is resolved. He will provide aggressive, dedicated and knowledgeable representation every step of the way. Contact attorney Goldberg-Giuliano's Somerville office at 617-997-0282.

Know the Penalties. Know Your Options.

While harsh, DUI or OUI sentencing guidelines are meant to discourage first and repeat offenses. Jail is not automatic and many of attorney Goldberg-Giuliano's clients are about to obtain an alternative disposition. Again, any type of negotiation short of trial is only done after all the options are explored and the evidence is studied in-depth.

Jail Is Not Always Inevitable in First and Second OUI Offenses

Attorney Joseph J. Goldberg-Giuliano, Attorney at Law, represents clients facing their first or second DUI charge. For those individuals, alternative disposition may be an option. Penalties range from probation to alcohol counseling to driver's license suspension. The goal is to keep you out of jail so you can deal with the issues that resulted in an OUI charge, including alcohol addiction.

Typically, a third OUI and beyond provides no alternative but jail time and will also include heavy fines and a lengthy license suspension.
