Client Story: Brockton OAS for OUI Case Dismissed After Motion for New Trial
Case Example: Our client was pulled over and charged with Operating After Suspension for OUI (OAS for OUI) after he was driving while his license was suspended for an OUI Second Offense. We were able to examine the OUI Second conviction and determine that it was based on improper evidence. After successfully re-opening the conviction, we were able to get his OAS for OUI case dismissed.
FAQs – Driving Offenses in Brockton
Is jail automatic for a driving charge?
Not usually—but it’s on the table for many offenses, especially if you have prior convictions, were driving on an OUI suspension, or left the scene of an accident. We fight to keep you out of jail and off probation.
Can I get my license back after a charge?
Possibly. It depends on your RMV history and the charge. We can help you explore hardship licenses and represent you before the Board of Appeals.
What if I already have a bad driving record?
Even if you're considered a Habitual Traffic Offender, we may be able to challenge the underlying suspensions or reduce future risk by resolving this case strategically.
