OUI Case Against Physician to be Dismissed (CWOF) June 1, 2026 Just a few month ago after watching a band at a bar, our client, a prominent physician, made the decision to drive home. By all accounts she had several glasses of wine. On a major highway, only a few miles from her home, she lost control of her car. The vehicle flipped. She was trapped inside. The local police department arrived, removed her from the car and took her to the hospital. Fortunately she was discharged the next day with minimal injuries. The police report indicated the officers removing her from the car noticed a strong odor of alcohol coming from her breath as she was responding to their questions. While at the hospital, blood was taken from our client. It was tested for alcohol among other things. The blood alcohol reading was a .15, nearly twice the legal limit. Our client was charged with OUI liquor under G.L. c 90 section 24. Given the blood alcohol reading and the fact that there was no reasonable explanation for the crash she opted to resolve the case. She was given the 24D first offender’s disposition and a continuance without a finding (CWOF) which is typical in a case like this. The matter will be dismissed after a successful completion of probation. Read More in OUI Defense

HVAC Technician Found Not Guilty After OUI Jury Trial After Breathalyzer Reading Over .10 May 5, 2026 On Friday, September 13, 2024 a police officer in northeastern Massachusetts observed a car exit a restaurant parking lot. He followed the vehicle and observed it cross the double yellow lines into the lane of oncoming traffic. The officer saw this car nearly collide with the car on the other side of the street. He then stopped the vehicle and contacted the driver. The officer was wearing a body camera. He detected the odor of alcohol on the man. He observed glassy and bloodshot eyes. Accordingly, he asked the man to take the field sobriety tests. The officer noted that the man failed all of the field sobriety tests. He was arrested. At the station the man took the breathalyzer test and blew a .10. That is twenty-five percent higher than the legal limit of .08 percent. The man was charged with OUI, a crime under G.L. c. 90 section 24. He hired Attorney Stephen Neyman who is a well known criminal defense lawyer in Massachusetts. Notwithstanding the breathalyzer results the man opted to go to trial. It was our position that the defendant passed the field sobriety tests. We believed that the body worn camera refuted what the officer claimed to have observed. We couple that with the argument that the breathalyzer is simply a machine, subject to error. Moreover, our cross examination of the officer who administered the breath test revealed that the officer knew only how to operate the machine. He did not know how the machine converts a breath sample into a blood alcohol reading. The jury deliberated for about an hour and found our client NOT GUILTY  Read More in OUI Cases
