Saved my license

Mike is an excellent lawyer that follows through with his promises. When I read reviews of Mike, and many other lawyers, I came to the realization that there was no other lawyer I would choose to represent me in a OUI case. His 99% OUI practice caught my eye, then the fact that he has literally wro...te the book on OUI cases in MA was what sealed the deal for me. My case was a little bit easier to fight since I wasn't actually driving. It was a cold night in December, I was parked off street in a parking lot with the vehicle running to stay warm while I tried to sleep it off. Mike intelligently cross examined the police officer with words and demonstrations of the field sobriety tests. The research into the officer that was testifying against me was impressive as well. Mike knew when the officer had graduated the academy, asked if he had had any more training on OUI stops since then. When the officer said he hadn't, Mike brought up different facts about how things have changed since 1983 with specific references to the training manual from 1983; the year the officer graduated from the academy. Some of the best money I have ever spent is on Mike, if you are in a similar unfortunate situation, I highly recommend looking into and hiring Mike for a knowledgeable and attentive lawyer to represent your case.

Thank you for your review Jared; doing an effective cross examination is all about being prepared and anticipating the different responses an officer may have, so I appreciate that you mentioned that aspect of the case. I spend a great deal of time on it in preparing any case for trial. I appreciate all of your comments and enjoyed working with you and wish you the best of luck in your career.

Not guilty on DUI involved in accident

Througout the entire process, from the inital meeting to the close.of trial Mike made me feel confident he was the right lawyer to represent my case. In those first days after the arrest Mike was extremely prompt, returning my call immediately and scheduled time to review the case right away. He ...quickly pointed out strengths and weaknesses to my case and advised on several ways to move forward. Because of my greencard status he consulted an immigration attorney and we quickly aligned on the strategy. I hired Mike because he was extremely knowledgeable about the law, has a lot of experience defending similar cases, was organized and very responsive and all around just a really nice guy who made it clear he was very invested in the case. Before trial he reviewed the case again with me and possible scenarios which made the day of trial a lot less nervewracking as I knew what to expect. His knowledge of the district court was key on trial day when he advised me to on a bench trial intead of jury because of prior experience with the same.judge. Throughout the full process I felt very confident in my decision to hire Mike. Thanks again Mike!!

Extremely Knowledgeable, Responsive and Well-Prepared

I was arrested for OUI in summer of 2017 and needless to say, it was an extremely stressful experience. Being my first arrest and experience with the criminal justice system, I had no idea of what to expect. Mike met with me the day I was arrested, obtained the police report and assured me that I had... a winnable case. We also discussed the pro's / con's of other approaches such as a CWOF / 24D. In the end, we decided to go to trial. It was a long 9 months, between the arrest date and the trial, but Mike met with me several times to discuss the case and strategy. During the trial, Mike was able to discredit / identify inconsistencies with the officer's testimony, introduce reasonable doubt and point out the behaviors during the stop / booking that were inconsistent with an individual who was operating under the influence of alcohol. The Jury returned a verdict of "Not Guilty" and I could not be more relieved. My strong advice is to hire Mike if you are in this situation - part of my decision was his extensive experience in dealing with these cases and his deep understanding of the law. You want an attorney who tries these cases regularly.

Thank you for your review. Helping people who are not use to the criminal process is an important part of the case,; I appreciate your comments on that aspect of the representation. An OUI trial is about showing that the officer’s observations can be explained by a number of things. What you saw is creating reasonable doubt by showing that the officer’s observations did not match up with the picture of someone drunk. In a criminal case, the Government is obligated to do this to the high degree of certainty required by proof beyond a reaonable doubt. As a lawyer, my job is to teach the jury what this means, that it is a high standard to convict someone of a crime in this country. I am glad that this case worked out for you and you are able to go back to focusing on your career and family.

Amazing Attorney amazing service not guilty verdict!

I would highly recommend Attorney Mike DelSignore to anyone looking for an an OUI lawyer he knew what he was doing from start to finish and anytime I had a question or anything I would receive an answer right away. He genuinely cared about my case and he has so much knowledge on OUI cases. He went ov...er every little detail of my case and when we went to trial he got me the outcome I wanted. The Judge in the case even commented on how good a job he did for me. It was great working with him and I would highly recommend anyone looking for someone who knows what they are doing he is truly an amazing Attorney!

Excellent Attorney

I worked with Attorney Michael Delsignore for close to 3 years. At our first consultation he provided me with literature on DUIs in Massachusetts and educated me on the Massachusetts law. He was compassionate and upon hire he went to work on my case. I was placed in a class action suit due to my situ...ation and represented me in trial. Attorney Delsignore fought for me and ultimately my future. I was acquitted of all charges and was found not guilty. I would without a doubt recommend Attoney Delsignore for representation for anyone facing DUI charges or criminal charges.

Thank you for your review; it was a pleasure to represent you. Typically, DUI cases are concluded quickly; this case, had many issues regarding the breath test that took years of litigation. I am glad we were able to help you avoid a DUI conviction and any further license loss. It was a pleasure to represent you and I wish you the best of luck in your career.
