If you have been arrested for DUI, you are not alone. Doctors, lawyers, police officers, judges, prosecutors, celebrities, politicians, and athletes have all been arrested for drunk driving. Nobody is immune from being arrested for DUI and it is a misconception that only alcoholics drive under the influence.
Massachusetts First Offender 24D classes are made up of people from all walks of life and all it takes to get arrested for DUI in Massachusetts is being at the wrong place at the wrong time, after having consumed some alcohol. Roughly half of the approximately 17,000 people who were arrested for drunk driving in Massachusetts last year were OUI first offenders.
Being arrested for a first offense OUI or even a 2nd offense OUI does not mean that you are a hardened criminal or a menace to society. With the help of a skilled and experienced Massachusetts DUI lawyer, it is possible to minimize the consequences of a DUI arrest and put the event behind you so that you can move on with your life.
