Palermo, CA DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

First, do you believe the accusation by a poor, single mother that drinks too much and gets behind the wheel. IF you do, then report the incident to the state bar. Good luck.

In MA, the chance of getting an DUI reduced to Reckless Operation is close to zero. You can see that movie stars, athletes and even politicians get charged for DUI and do not get the charge reduced. DUI is a highly political crime in MA, as it is in most if not all states. There is too much pressure on the DA's office to prosecute these crimes for them to even consider reducing one. The best thing you can do is to hire a good DUI lawyer and let them look to see if there is any way to suppress the Breath Test. With the BT in evidence it is close to impossible to beat this charge. If it were a .08 or .09 you may have a chance, but a .10 is very tough to beat. The good news is that if you try a DUI case and lose, the consequences are very similar to the plea so losing at trial is not the worst thing that can happen to you. That is assuming you get a decent judge. There are some judges that will sentence even a 1st offense DUI to a 1 year suspended sentence. There are too many variables to go through them all here. What you should do is contact a local DUI lawyer. Every area has lawyers who are known to handle a lot of them.

The steps are whatever the DMV and court records say they are, regardless of what anyone tells you otherwise. Since you can't get answers yourself, you may be forced to hire counsel to help you.
