Under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 90 Section 24, you can be charged with OUI if you operated a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% or higher. A first OUI offense in Lowell carries up to 2.5 years in jail, a $500–$5,000 fine, and a 1-year license suspension. Attorney Clifford handles all OUI cases at Lowell District Court / Middlesex Superior Court and Middlesex Superior Court.
Every OUI case has weaknesses that a skilled attorney can exploit. Attorney Clifford challenges the legality of the traffic stop, the administration of field sobriety tests, the calibration and operation of the breathalyzer device, and the chain of custody for any blood or urine samples. Cases in Lowell are heard at Lowell District Court / Middlesex Superior Court — a courthouse where Attorney Clifford has extensive experience.
First-time OUI offenders in Lowell may be eligible for the 24D alternative disposition — a program that, upon successful completion, results in a reduced loss of license and avoidance of a conviction. Attorney Clifford evaluates every Lowell OUI case for diversion eligibility, 24D program enrollment, CWOF (Continuance Without a Finding), and other alternatives to conviction.
