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.

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.

Life is amazing, and Hope is never lost.

Almost two years ago, I put myself in a situation that could have changed the path of my life. My career, jobs, and most importantly staying in this country was at serious risk. After a late night of working, I was heading home in the Northborough area and my worst fear happened, I was pulled over ...and charged with my first DUI. It felt like a dream, and when it finally hit me in the police station I just couldn't believe that I had ruined my life. A DUI affects many people in your life, and the consequences are catastrophic. When I was out on bail, I went back home and googled: BEST LAWYER IN MA FOR DUI. I called the highest rated ones early the next morning, and out of all of them Michael was the only one that picked up (It was a Sunday morning). I told Michael what happen and how I chose not to take the breathalyzer. After he listen and told me my options, he said I had a good case. I decided to take a chance and hire him, and in the end it was the best decision. Michael had a plan ready to fight my case and the first thing he asked was for video evidence. I don't know if what happened next was magic or God but somehow my video of the booking was lost by the police department and was never provided to us. In trial the loss of video was the main reason why the judge found me NOT GUILTY. From the beginning Michael and Julie were so awesome and understanding, and at some points I was probably annoying with all the texts and emails I sent them both. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Michael and Julie, I was finally able to be myself after two years. It feels like I was given another chance to do everything I want to do in life. I don't wish this on anyone because a DUI trial is horrific, but I would recommend Michael to anyone who fines themselves in a similar situation.

Thank you for your review. One of the things I like to obtain when helpful is video evidence. In your case, the report was fairly strong on its surface; when that is the case, we need to try to find evidence that will negate that either through a video, witnesses or something that will change the focus of the case from the officer's testimony. We have had cases like this before and our strategy worked out. I am glad you can put this behind you and wish you the best of luck with your job.

Absolutely Brilliant.

I was facing an OUI charge. I did my homework researching the laws, penalties and fines a bit before calling any lawyers for initial consultation. I spoke to about 4 of them and got pretty hopeless as I found some lawyers to be a bit discouraging. Some of them knew just as much as I did and some of t...hem was a straight up scam! It was a brutal experience. Luckily, I looked for one more and landed on Mike’s website. I first watched his videos where there was just something about him that made me trust him. I then read his ebook and was amazed by how much he knew about the law. At first I thought he was too good to be true so I called him and he immediately picked up the phone! I was shocked as I was expecting a secretary to answer the phone. I remember that phone call clearly, I was completely worried and down but he was so confident and cheered me right up; Mike has this human element to him which I really appreciated. He gave me hope that we could fight this charge together as I was completely terrified of the future. At the time, I was still in school and close to graduating so I was constantly worried that my career was in jeopardy and my life, over. I was not used to putting all my eggs into a basket but all I had was Mike and his process. Every time I felt uneasy, I gave him a call and each time he helped me through despite how much of a wreck I sounded. Along the way, I also met Julie who was equally vital in keeping me hopeful. They make such a wonderful team. Finally, the trial came. At that point, I was ready for anything that was about to happen. There I was, standing in front the judge completely vulnerable. Mike did his lawyer bit and then the judge looked at me and told me my case was dismissed. It felt unreal and within the snap of a finger, my life resumed from such a horrible nightmare. I felt like a human being again. I am forever grateful for Mike and Julie. Thank you so much.

thank you for your review; I appreciate the comments because one of the things we work hard to do is make the process between the charge and actual outcome the best that it can be; we sometimes cannot control the outcome, but we try to do our best to reduce the anxiety as much as possible. It was a pleasure to help you out; and I wish you the best of luck in your career and with the rest of your time in school.
