What Happens After an OUI Arrest in Massachusetts?

If you’ve been arrested for OUI, understanding what happens next can help you make informed decisions.

After an OUI arrest, law enforcement may conduct booking procedures, request chemical testing, and provide information about the charges and any license-related consequences.

At your arraignment, the court formally addresses the charge. Depending on the circumstances, the court may also consider conditions of release or other requirements.

Your attorney examines police reports, available video footage, field sobriety tests, breath test records, and other evidence relevant to your arrest.

Depending on the evidence and legal issues involved, your case may proceed through motions, negotiations, hearings, or trial.
