Not Guilty - OUI

In 2016, I was pulled over, arrested, and charged with OUI in Massachusetts. After my arraignment, I researched several attorneys before finding Michael DelSignore. Despite contacting him in the evening, he responded right away and reviewed my police report. We then set up a consultation appointment ...to meet a few days later. Michael answered all my questions in detail and was able to clearly explain the pros & cons of what proved to be a very complicated process. At this time I hired Michael as my attorney to bring my case to trial. Over the next several months I worked with Attorney Julie Gaudreau. She attended my RMV appeal and early court appearances. She answered any questions I had about the process and was very accessible. A motion date was scheduled to suppress evidence and statements that were in the police report. Michael appeared at this court appearance and successfully suppressed evidence and obtained testimonies from the arresting officers under oath. Close to a year after my arrest the trial date was scheduled. On the date of the trial, Michael recommended that I waive my right to a jury and go with a bench trial. During the trial, he cross examined the officers and played a booking video for the judge. The officer’s statements and video suggested conflict with the original police report, noting the performance of someone not exhibiting the symptoms of alcohol intoxication. The judge ruled in our favor and stated the prosecution did not have enough evidence to prove the OUI charge. While the entire process can be highly stressful, Michael was there for me when it mattered most and helped get my life back on track. If you are currently seeking OUI representation, I cannot recommend the services of Julie and Michael highly enough.

Not Guilty 1/30/17

Going through the process of an OUI can be extremely stressful. I was stopped at an OUI checkpoint in Everett and the next week consisted of researching all of the OUI defense lawyers and spending hours trying to find the right one. When I originally spoke with mike he did not try to oversell, unlike... many others I spoke with. Throughout the months leading to my trial he guided and advised me the entire way and was there whenever I had a question. The day of my trial, mike used his knowledge and experience in the district I was arrested in to decide a jury vs. a bench trial, which we decided on a jury with his experience with the judge that was on bench that day. From the beginning of trial to his closing argument, mike owned the courtroom. Before the trial began, mike argued to suppress two key parts of the police report which the judge sided with mike and not the DA and suppressed both. Through mike's cross examination with the arresting officers, mike skillfully threw doubt throughout the entire commonwealth's case. Through his cross examination he even made one of the officers admit to the jury that I did well on my field sobriety! From start to finish, I truly never felt unconfident nor that I would lose with mike once I saw him go to work at trial. The jury came back with a Not Guilty verdict in under about 10 minutes. If you have just got an OUI and are going through the process of endless hours of researching the right defense attorney that will advise you and get you the best results possible, call mike.

AWESOME

I hire Mike to represent me on an OUI charge. It was the first time I had ever been arrested and contacted Mike within hours of being released from jail. He returned my phone call promptly and was so reassuring and nice. I was confused, did not understand anything that had gone on, and was due in cou...rt in 2 days. Mike fully explained everything that would happen that first court date, what I should expect, and what evidence I needed to help collect for him for the my case. He made me feel so much better after that first phone call. I felt calmer and more in control of this situation. Plus I had the confidence that Mike was going to be able to help and prove my innocence. While my case dragged on for a while, no stone was left unturned. Every resource and piece of evidence was utilized to ensure my case was the strongest it could be. In the end, the judge agreed. It was a sheer pleasure working with Mike and his team. If you are seeking representation for an OUI and you are scared, confused, not sure what to do, Mike is the lawyer you want to call. You will find no better attorney to defend you! Thank you Mike! I am eternally grateful for all your team's hard work!

WELL DONE

After being charged with an OUI in the state of Massachusetts, my husband and i reached out to Mr. DelSignore. It was a weekday at 7:30 and he wanted to meet with us right away.This made me feel confident right from the start that he was the lawyer we were looking for. Mr. DelSignore explained ...everything i needed to know. Good, bad and the ugly. Sometimes he even explained somethings more than once. Not being a lawyer and in a state of panic through this process,he was kind and patient. Mr.DelSignore is a wonderful man and lawyer. Worth ever penny.

Worth every cent!

Michael DelSignore was a treasure to find. He was professional and knowledgeable about all of the proceedings and knew what step to take next. He spoke with the DA and judge and was able to get all of the charges completely dropped before an arraignment took place. He also took time throughout eac...h step to speak with us and update us on anything we needed to do. He treated our son with the utmost respect and we will be forever grateful for all of his help. We highly recommend his services.
