You may have only 7 days to challenge your license suspension.
After a refused or over-the-limit breath test, drivers generally have a short window to request a Registry of Motor Vehicles hearing on the automatic suspension. Miss it, and that challenge is gone.
Why the first call matters
Early involvement lets us act while the evidence is still fresh:
- Preserve cruiser and booking video before it's deleted
- Test whether the stop was legally justified
- Compare field sobriety tests to NHTSA standards
- Challenge breathalyzer calibration and certification
- Review the search, tow and inventory
- Pursue a hardship license if needed
A real defense starts with the stop
An OUI case begins with the reason you were pulled over, not the breath test. Article 14 of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights limits when police can stop a car, order a driver out and search a vehicle. We scrutinize the field tests, the chain of custody for any sample and the towing and inventory procedures, and we move to suppress evidence that was obtained unlawfully.
What we handle
What's at stake
- License loss, from 45 days up to lifetime revocation
- Ignition interlock requirements
- Fines, court costs and probation
- Jail and mandatory minimums for repeat offenses
- Immigration and professional license consequences
- Higher insurance and SR-22 requirements
