Gainesville, TX DWI Law Firms & Lawyers

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. Besides the DUI, you can also be looking at child endangerment, child abuse, penalty enhancements for driving under the influence with minors in your car, and anything else the D.A. can think of. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your case. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

Alcohol checkpoints in MA are subject to very strict rules about who they can pull over and how the cars to be pulled over are selected. It sounds like they did not follow their procedure since the stops are supposed to be random, based upon a system of numbers or some other non-discriminatory manner. Since they singled you out, they probably violated the requirement and you may be able to have to stop thrown out. You will need a lawyer and you really shouldn't waste time in hiring one. I practice mainly criminal defense and DUIs are a large part of my case load.

No. You likely signed a document stating that you were pleading guilty to a misdemeanor and additionally the judge signed a judgement stating the exact level of offense and the punishment for that offense.
