OUI First Offense - Not Guilty

Being arrested for a first offense OUI was a difficult experience. Within a day, through word-of-mouth, I was on the phone with Mark on a Saturday afternoon going over the details of my case and what I could expect at my arraignment on Monday morning. From those first conversations through it was cle...ar that Mark knew the process, knew the players, and knew how to put his clients in the best position for defense. He reviewed my options with me, made sure I was well-informed, and helped me to elect to pursue a jury trial in my case. Through a series of postponed trial dates, Mark dedicated time over and above what would be expected to ensure I was comfortable, knew what to expect, and was prepared to stand trial. At trial he presented a compelling case, was well-prepared, exceptionally poised, and ultimately got the jury on our side. After only 6 minutes of deliberation, the jury returned with a not guilty verdict. Further, the judge dismissed the negligent operation charge I faced based on the case presented. I can't say enough about how good Mark is at what he does, how good he was to me during the process, or how glad I am that I had him representing me.

1st OUI Found Not Guilty

Mark Monopoli is the best lawyer you could ask for when dealing with an OUI charge. After my arrest I asked numerous people about who I should hire to represent me, which everyone said to go to Monopoli & Monopoli. Mark and Michael never sugar coated anything since Day 1 and made me understand the g...ravity of my situation. Before the trial Mark worked very hard on my case and was always available to answer any questions. He prepared me very well for the jury trial and how to testify in court. His cross examination of the police officer went better than I expected. He was able to point out the faults in the evidence and had control of the courtroom since the moment he spoke. He has definitely earned the respect he is given. In the end the jury found me not guilty and now this 6 month process has ended. My life is back on track and I can't thank him and his father Michael enough for their dedication to my case. I recommend him to anyone who is facing an OUI charge. Don't plead guilty until you talk to Monopoli first!

Hire Only the Best

When I was looking for a lawyer everyone I spoke with including defendants, lawyers, and police officers said If they needed a defense lawyer they would hire Monopoli because they are the best. I hired Mark Monopoli for OUI 2nd offense and negligent operation charges. From the first meeting Attourn...ey Monopoli was professional, considerate, and reassuring. He was upfront and gave me all possible scenarios, which was a little bit intimidating, but I always felt confident that I was getting the best possible representation. He expedited the process to the best of his ability and always communicated exactly where we stood and what was next. He made all of my option clear and told me what he recommended. I just went with his recommendation. That's why I hired him. I was found not guilty on the OUI and he negotiated the negligent operation to be continued without finding for 6 months. I couldn't have been more satisfied with my representation. Mark is an excellent lawyer, and a good man. He really cares. He always asked how my wife and kids were handling things and he was sincere. My advice? Only hire the best.

2nd OUI, other charges

A second OUI offense with multiple other charges is nothing short of stressful and very scary. I met with Michael initially but my case was assigned to Mark. I never felt anything other than complete trust with Mark and he made me feel at ease and handled my case in a very concise, professional and s...traightforward manner. He told me best and worst case scenarios which I appreciated. Ultimately the OUI was dismissed and I had the best possible outcome I could have hoped for. He is very accessible if you call with a question or concern. In court I felt confident during my trial hearings and my case was complete after only 2 court appearances. Highly recommend this firm and completely felt I had made the correct decision in hiring Mark. What could have been a life altering situation did not turn out to be so. I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders and I can finally sleep at night - thanks to Attorney Monopoli I feel I have a second chance! The best around!

Highly Recommend Mark Monopoli

Mark Monopoli handled my OUI case in a professional, empathetic and highly skilled manner. I received a not guilty verdict and am quite certain that Mark's skill in the courtroom was key in this decision by the jury. While handling my case, Mark took the time to get to know me as a person, and to ma...ke sure that I understood all legal aspects of the case. Mark prepared me for trial very thoroughly and helped me to feel as ready as possible for the trial. Mark was always immediately accessible during the year he worked with me on my case, no matter what my question. Mark and his father are respectful, empathic and always make their clients feel like they clearly know what is happening, and why. Mark Monopoli will provide you with the absolute best representation possible. I recommend him with the highest regard. I'm so thankful he handled my case.
