Failed Field Sobriety Test Wins in Massachusetts

Police noticed a parked car facing the wrong way on a one-way street and found client sleeping inside. He took over 3 minutes to find his license, was unsteady on his feet after getting out of the car and failed all roadside tests, including one-leg stand and walk and turn. We convinced the judge that the late hour and very cold weather affected his performance on the balancing tests. The judge agreed there was reasonable doubt and found him not guilty. The judge then immediately allowed our motion to restore his license, overturning his 3-year refusal suspension. Now he's driving legally again and supporting his family.

'Both James and Joe are outstanding attorneys.'

Somerville District Court

Client was found sleeping in the car at a green light. He admitted to three drinks, his speech was slurred, and he failed all the roadside tests. On the day of trial, I brought in the heavy, worn-out work boots he wore that night to show the three officers who were testifying, the judge, and everyone else in the courtroom. Not one of the three officers could remember those ridiculously worn-out and heavy work boots until I played the booking video in court, clearly showing them. Not guilty.

'Knows all the angles. Completely professional.'

Plymouth District Court

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.

'He's the OUI lawyer you want. He saved my life. Call me.'

Waltham District Court

After being stopped for running a red light, client had slurred speech, admitted having drinks, had slurred speech, and failed all the roadside tests. We filed a motion challenging some of the evidence but the DA didn't summons the officers involved for the motion to suppress hearing. When the case was called, we brought a motion to dismiss for failure to prosecute. The judge allowed the motion and dismissed the OUI charge: No conviction, no license suspension, no 16-week alcohol program, no probation and saved our client about $3000 in fines and fees

'Joe is very knowledgeable, professional and responsive.'
