Posted by Stephen | July 25, 2017 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Michael is a Super Lawyer.

I know that this will be just another five star review. For someone as spectacular as Michael this has just become par for the course. I was arrested in June of 2016 on my second OUI charge. Honestly, I felt completely lost afterwards. The morning following, I looked up Michael and found rave reviews... for him. He contacted me nearly an hour after I had emailed him and was prepared to take on my case. I was nervous going forward but he was very concise in clear in his expectations for me. I filled out the survey he needed and then when I was due in court in Ayer the following Monday morning he had his assistant Julie there to support me. It has been a long process, I have had to go to multiple hearings and it has taken over a year to get where I am now but in the end I could not have hoped for a better result. I went into court feeling prepared after I had talked to Michael about my options, he walked me through the process and gave me honest, albeit harsh possible scenarios. I knew going into the trial that I could possibly face jail time, and this could have destroyed my career and family. In the courtroom Michael is a wizard. He expertly spoke to the jury, and cross examined the arresting officer. To my knowledge this was a new judge for him to work with at the Ayer District Court, and he was calm, cool, and collected. Michael's defense really focused on the lack of evidence and inconsistencies in the testimony of the officer. When I was on the stand he asked the right questions, and prepared me for the worst the ADA could throw at me. He left her in his dust, he made her appear unorganized, and unready to face such a formidable lawyer. When the time came for jury deliberation Michael still remained very realistic about the possible outcomes. Despite the fact I suspected he felt great about the outcome of the trial, he still let me know all the possibilities I faced. When the jury returned and was prepared to read the verdict Michael calmly turned to me and told me to try not to react to the verdict. It was the longest minute of my life, but as they announced that I was not guilty on both my OUI charge and a charge of negligent operation a dark cloud was lifted from me. Michael saved me, I feel confident I can sleep again at night and move forward from this. I could not recommend Michael more. He is exactly what you need when facing such a difficult time. Take it from me, if you are facing something as devastating as an OUI charge, much more a second offence you NEED Michael in your corner. Thank you Michael for everything, you save my life.

Outstanding Work By DelSignore Team

We reached out to Michael to help us with a first time offense. Michael immediately met with us, asked details about the event and described all possible scenarios. We hired Michael and he connected us to Julie on his team (this originally was not conveyed to us - we were expecting to work with Mic...hael. He should let his future clients know that this is an option). That being said, we cannot say enough about Julie. She was outstanding to work with, keeping in constant contact and taking time to make sure we understood the process. She was able to resolve the case on several fronts. We cannot thank her enough.

Thanks you for your review. I appreciate your comment and I will be sure to explain how we divide work in the office if that was not clear. Typically, the case would have taken longer; Julie was able to get the case dismissed prior to the case starting which does not happened often. As we have won more DUI cases, my role in the office has changed and I now handle trials on almost a daily basis and motion hearings. Julie has worked for my office for three years and handles the Board of Appeals and many of the pretrials trial and Clerk Magistrate hearings. Since the case was dismissed very early in the process, Julie handled all of the work on the case; I did not expect the case to end so early, but I am glad it did. Thank you for the feedback.

The BEST DUI lawyer one could ask for

I was charged with a DUI 4 years ago and as of yesterday I am not guilty. Michael DelSignore worked hard for 4 years to get me the great result. He was always easily available to answer questions throughout. The reason it took 4 years was I had failed a breathalyzer during the arrest. He was ...able to get the breathalyzer knocked out which was a huge help in getting the good trial result. Michael DelSignore is pleasant and extremely knowledgeable in the area of DUI defense. At first I was hesitant to try and fight the case, as I had failed the breathalyzer, but if you find yourself in the same situation DEFINITELY call him for at least a consultation. During the consultation he laid out reasons why I could win and convinced me to give him a chance and I am so glad I did or else I would be sitting here guilty of a DUI instead of writing this glowing review. Call Michael DelSignore if you get yourself in a DUI situation, you will be glad you did.

Not Guility- OUI

Michael Delsignore represented me on an OUI case out of Boston. He showed his knowledge regarding OUI and DWI defense law. Any questions I had were answered and Michael was very easy to reach if I had any questions. Michael guided me through the whole process from start to finish.

Parent

Mr. Delsignore represented my son on an OUI case out of the Boston Municipal Court. His in depth experience and knowledge regarding OUI and DWI defense law was evident in his representation of our case and with our initial consultation with him. He was very forthcoming explaining the law and guiding ...us through this very stressful process. Mr. Delsignore's professionalism defending this case helped render a "Not Guilty" verdict defending the evidence.

Thank you for your review; I know it was very stressful as a parent to have to sit through a jury trial involving your son. Your son is a very giving person and has a great future ahead of him. I wish both of you the best of luck and am glad I could put this behind him.
