Good outcome on my case

When I first told Mike about my case, and that there was a refusal for breathalyzer he told me that he believed I had a strong case, while some other lawyers told me that these kind of cases of refusing a breathalyzer were difficult. I was charged with oui, driving without lights, and negligent op...eration. He got my license reinstated a few days after the incident, this was extremely helpful, since I am from a completely diferent state, and there was no other way for me to get to the hearings, court and trials other than driving to them. Every time I had a question even though sometimes it took him some time to get back to me, he always did. He was also able to suppress some evidence to make my case stronger. My case prolonged for about a year, but the outcome of it was overall pretty good. He was able to prove inconsistencies, lack of properly applied protocol, and improper techniques used by the police at the time of my arrest. Finally the outcome of my trial was not guilty of oui, found not responsible with the charge of no lights, and guilty by continuance without a finding of negligent driving, because I hit a curb while parking for the police. The end result of my case was a $250 dollar fine and probation for a year @ $50 dollars a month for a total of $900 altogether. No loss of drivers license, no need for classes, and most important of all proving my innocence for the oui charge.

Grateful. Highly recommend.

I'm so grateful for the hard work that Mike & Julie put into my case. It was a long and stressful 3 years, but they supported me along the way with knowledgeable & thoughtful analysis and advice. As a working professional, an OUI Alcohol charge can be a devastating charge. However, with Mike's expert...ise and dedication, I was able to overcome it with a NOT GUILTY in the Plymouth Court. Mike and his team's knowledge of the court system and OUI laws was invaluable. I do not know what I would have done without them. Thank you Mike & Julie for all that you did! I highly recommend Atty. Michael DelSignore & his team to anyone looking for thoughtful, intelligent and effective attorneys for an OUI.

Many of our clients are professionals and an OUI conviction can limit their employment opportunities. We understand what is riding on these cases for our clients. On behalf of myself and Julie it was a pleasure working with you on this case and wishes you success in your career.

The Best Attorney!

Mike was very proactive in protecting my rights and in providing quick and reliable feedback and answers to my questions for over two years. Mike has been great to work with. Additionally, Mike displayed excellent tactics and negotiation skills in settling my case at the East Brookfield Court. I am g...lad to have him on my side there. Don’t panic when life events happen to you and reach out to Michael Delsignore. I would highly recommend him! Thank you, Mike!

I would highly recommend Attorney DelSignore

I hired Mr. DelSignore after i was arrested for an OUI in the summer of 2015. This was the first time i had any dealing with the law so I was extremely nervous about what to expect. Mr. DelSignore was very polite and easy to talk to. He walked me through all of the steps and what i should expect, the... various options i had moving forward. He was confident that I would be able to fight this in court and win, so i decided to proceed with a trial. Mr DelSignore fought for me every step of the way. Shortly after my arrest the breath tests in Massachusetts came under scrutiny. Mr. DelSignore was on top of this the whole time. The initial ruling came down that my test was not going to be one of the tests to be thrown out but luckily my test was found to be potentially faulty later on and was able to get it thrown out. Prior to appearing in court for my trial Mr. DelSignore provided me with a "cheat sheet", if you will, detailing what to expect at the trial, how to sit and react to testimonies. He also called me several times to go over the case and answer any questions I had. On the day of the trial, Mr. DelSignore was there with me all day. He was extremely well prepared and recommended that I go with a bench trial since we were assigned a Judge who was somewhat lenient to the defendant. Mr. DelSignore was very effective in his cross-examination of the police officer who was called on as a witness. Since my breath test was thrown out the only evidence for conviction was a couple stumbles (not falls) during the heel to toe test and some minor difficulty with the Alphabet test. He was able to ask the officer questions that lessened the prosecutions case and led the judge to a "Not Guilty" decision. Overall i was very satisfied with the results and would highly recommend Attorney DelSignore to anyone looking for a OUI defense lawyer in Massachusetts.
