FITCHBURG CASES

FAILED BREATH TEST; NOT GUILTY
OUI-2ND OFFENSE- ROAD BLOCK
CLINT:  978.549.1610

I was stopped at a sobriety checkpoint while driving some friends home. I admitted to drinking two beers and said the last one was about 20 minutes ago so the trooper asked me to step out and do three field sobriety tests and then arrested me. I took the breath test in the trailer and failed and immediately lost my license. Joe told me how to proceed every step of the way and did a great job at trial.  

'EVERYTHING WORKED OUT JUST AS JOE SAID IT WOULD.'
 
TOLD COP I HAD "4 BEERS AND A MAI TAI"
HE SAW 3 LANES VIOLATIONS
NOT GUILTY 2ND OFFENSE - LICENSE RESTORED
KEVIN;  978. 235.2853

Cop saw 3 lanes violations, testified client had slurred speech, bloodshot, glassy eyes, first said he had "4 beers," then later "4 beers and a Mai Tai." I got cop to admit client had no difficulty finding and delivering his license and registration, thus his fine motor skills were normal. Plus he had no difficulty exiting the car and walked fine. After the not guilty verdict, I convinced Judge to restore his license which had been suspended for 3 years for refusing the breath test.

See judge's order restoring license.

'JOE IS DILIGENT, CONCERNED AND THOROUGH.
EVERYTHING WORKED OUT EXACTLY AS I HAD HOPED.'

NOT GUILTY OUI-DRUGS; "NEVER HAD ANY DOUBT"
JAMES:  603.818.3898

I was stopped for multiple lane violations. I told the Trooper I had smoked a joint and had 2 beers 20 minutes ago. He noted a "blank stare" on my face and that I was unsteady on my feet. He said I failed the 3 field sobriety tests and arrested me. I never had any doubts in Attorney Waldbaum's abilities. He was always on time and prepared for every Court date for the year it took to go to trial. He wrote full reports every step of the way to  help me make all the right decisions. (Obviously.) Call me.  I'll gladly tell you.

 
3RD OFFENSE: JURY ACQUITS IN 10 MINUTES
RALPH:  978-939-2251

I faced a possible six months mandatory jail sentence and a license loss of 13 years for a third offense. Joe noted in the report the cop had seen me wearing eyeglasses when he stopped me but told me to take them off before I did the balancing tests. Nowhere in his report did he tell me to put them back on.  Joe asked the cop so many questions he had no idea how to answer. It was just really smart. He even impressed the Judge. They acquitted me in ten minutes and the Judge ordered my license restored immediately. You can't ask for a better Massachusetts OUI Attorney.

He's such a smart DUI Lawyer, he deliberately chose jurors who wore eyeglasses!
 
3RD OFFENSE REDUCED TO 2ND- NO JAIL TIME
My client was facing his third offense and a mandatory jail sentence of six months minimum after crossing the center line and committing multiple lanes violations. The officer noted in his report that client could barely stand when he got out of his pickup truck. On the date of trial, I convinced the district attorney to reduce the charge from third offense - a felony -- down to second offense -- only a misdemeanor. Thus, I saved my client from a felony conviction and the concomitant mandatory minimum six months in jail.
 
PROBATION INSTEAD OF MANDATORY JAIL TIME

My client had been convicted for a NH operating under the influence charge in which he had blown over the legal limit. Then, he was caught driving again in Massachusetts. I chose to discuss his case with a DA with whom I had dealt before and knew was willing to deal. He agreed to reduce the charge , eliminating the mandatory jail provision. The Judge rubber-stamped it.

My client avoided jail and kept his well paying job!
 
ALMOST HITS POLICE CRUISER;
NOT GUILTY OF SECOND OFFENSE

My client crossed the fog line and almost hit a state police cruiser. When he was finally stopped, his clothes were disheveled, his speech was slurred and there was a strong odor of alcohol on his breath. He was unable to complete the alphabet test and was arrested for his 2nd offense as well as obstructing an emergency vehicle. He was found not guilty: no mandatory jail, no two week hospital treatment program, no fines, no fees, and no probation.

“YOU REALLY DID A GREAT JOB!”
