Aggressive OUI Defense
Aggressive Drunk Driving Defense
Whether the charge against you is called "operating
under the influence" (OUI), "driving while intoxicated"
(DWI) or "driving under the influence" (DU)I, or any other
drinking and driving offense, you need legal help.
When you are charged with OUI/DWI/DUI, the full
might of the government is against you. For years our governments,
both state and federal, have systematically changed the laws relating
to OUI/DWI/DUI. These changes thoughout the country share a common
goal; to make it easier for governments to convict people of OUI/DWI/DUI,
put them in jail, and take their licenses.
State legislatures and Congress have systemically
lowered the level of proof needed to convict people of OUI/DWI/DUI.
They have abolished rules of evidence designed to protect against
false convictions. In some states they have reduced the laws to
the point where you can be convicted of OUI/DWI/DUI even if your
driving ability is not actually impaired or you're not even driving!
Maine is one of those states. Maine OUI/DWI/DUI
laws are among the toughest in the country. The Maine legislature
has lowered the legal Blood/Alcohol limit from .15 to .10 and then
to .08. While at the same time imposing higher maximum penalties,
mandatory jail terms, crippling fines and fees; and license suspensions
for longer and longer periods. In Maine, your license can be suspended
even before you ever go to court.
As a result of these changes in the law, defense
attorneys defending OUI/DWI/DUI cases must know more and more about
constitutional law, police procedures and training, human physiology
and scientific testing. This just levels the playing field with
the District Attorney who is prosecuting your case. At the same
time the state and federal governments have been changing the OUI/DWI/DUI
laws; they have also devoted more and more money and resources to
the prosecution of OUI/DWI/DUI cases. You must have an experienced
defense attorney on your side protecting your rights. Beside an
in depth knowledge of law and science related to OUI/DWI/DUI, a
defense attorney must have extensive knowledge and experience in
investigation, and the trial skills and experience necessary to
adequately evaluate and defend an OUI/DWI/DUI case. Furthermore,
this knowledge and skills must be aggressively used to successfully
defend your case.
