Drunk Driving Offenses

Oui caseOperating Under the Influence (OUI) or Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) cases are serious offenses and, in most cases, more likely to be resolved with professional legal assistance. Attorney Goldstein has successfully represented several clients in OUI/DWI cases.

Links to some recent court decisions in OUI/DWI cases that you may find relevant are listed below.

Commonwealth v. Colturi, 448 Mass. 809 (April 19, 2007). Prosecutors need not introduce expert testimony extrapolating from blood alcohol level at the time of the test to the level at the time of the stop, "so long as the test is conducted within a reasonable period of time after the driver's last operation of the vehicle."

Commonwealth v. Maloney, 447 Mass. 577 (2006). Upheld the portions of Melanie's Law dealing with proof of prior convictions. "We hold that the application of § 6A of Melanie's Law, St. 2005, c. 122, § 6A, as construed in this opinion, to the defendant's G. L. c. 278, § 11A, proceeding does not violate the ex post facto, due process, or confrontation clauses of the Federal or State Constitutions."

Commerce Insurance v. Ultimate Livery, Inc., 452 Mass. 639 (2008). A limousine company "owed a duty to the plaintiffs to avoid discharging a passenger who they knew, or should have known, was intoxicated and likely to drive an automobile," where passengers who had been drinking were dropped in a parking lot at 2 am, got in a car and drove, resulting in a fatal accident, and thus the company could be tried for negligence.
