Defending Clients Charged With Operating Under the Influence of Drugs
Driving while on drugs can result in criminal charges for operating under the influence (OUI). However, there is no equivalent to the Breathalyzer to test for the effect of drugs on your system. Often these cases rise and fall based on admissions of guilt made by the driver to the police.
Do not speak to the police without first talking to an experienced criminal defense attorney. Even if you have had only one drink, prescription medication may impair your ability to drive. If you have been pulled over and charged with OUI for drugs, contact Attorney Mark W. Bennett as soon as possible.
Experienced With Drugs and Driving-Related Charges
A skilled Quincy OUI drug defense lawyer, Attorney Bennett will work quickly to investigate your case and fight your charges. As a former police officer, police detective and assistant district attorney, Attorney Bennett has insight into how the other side will develop and present its case. Since 1988, he has vigorously defended the rights of his clients and helped them fight charges for OUI drugs.
Handling Every Aspect of Your Case
A drug-based OUI charge has the same penalties as an OUI charge, often called a DUI charge in other states. However, if you are arrested with drugs, you could face other drug-related charges. Attorney Bennett has extensive experience defending clients from drug possession and trafficking charges involving prescription drugs, marijuana, meth and other illegal drugs.
Experts in OUI Drug Cases
In cases involving drugs and driving, law enforcement and prosecutors often use drug recognition experts to show the effect drugs had on a suspect. Attorney Mark W. Bennett has worked with experts in these positions and in pharmacology and may consult experts in order to develop his clients' cases.
