DUI/OUI Defense Attorney In North Attleboro, Massachusetts
DUI Charges Are Serious
Whether it’s referred to as “driving under the influence” (DUI) or “operating under the influence” (OUI), the states of Massachusetts and Rhode Island take impaired driving charges very seriously. If you are facing accusations related to alcohol consumption, illicit drugs, or a combination of both, the consequences can be severe. You could face license suspension, hefty fines, or even jail time in more serious cases. These penalties can still apply even if the incident occurred outside your home state, making it crucial to understand the laws surrounding impaired driving.
Brian D. Roman serves clients throughout the Greater Boston Area, providing dedicated legal support and working hard to protect your rights and preserve your driving privileges. Don’t face DUI or OUI charges alone—contact Brian D. Roman, Attorney at Law, today to discuss your case and explore your defense options.

What is the Difference Between DUI and OUI?
A DUI charge—driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs—can carry serious consequences, no matter your criminal history. You could face a license suspension lasting six to twelve months, fines, mandatory community service, and in some cases, even jail time. The stakes are high, but with the right legal support, it’s possible to avoid harsh penalties and move forward.
If you’ve been arrested for a DUI or OUI, the first step is contacting an attorney who understands the laws and will work to protect your future. Brian D. Roman represents clients throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island facing DUI and OUI charges. Contact his office today to discuss your case.
Can I Fight the Results of a Breath or Field Sobriety Test?
As a licensed driver, you’ve already given what’s called “implied consent” to submit to testing if a police officer has probable cause to believe you're under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This might involve field sobriety tests—like standing on one leg, walking in a straight line, or reciting the alphabet—as well as breathalyzer or chemical testing.
While you have the right to refuse these tests, doing so can lead to an automatic license suspension in many states. If that’s your situation, Brian D. Roman may still be able to step in and challenge the penalties you’re facing. And if you’ve already taken a test, don’t assume the results are final. Faulty equipment, human error, certain weather conditions, or even underlying medical issues can call test results into question.
No matter the circumstances, don’t give up. Reach out to Brian D. Roman, Attorney at Law today to begin building your defense.
Is It Possible to Get Past DUI Convictions Expunged or Sealed?
Depending on the state and the specific circumstances surrounding your DUI conviction, your case may indeed qualify for sealing or expungement, which can significantly impact your future opportunities. Brian D. Roman, with his extensive experience in legal matters, can thoroughly review your situation in light of the laws applicable in Massachusetts or Rhode Island to determine your eligibility for this vital step. If you do qualify for sealing or expungement, petitioning the court to have your record modified could make a meaningful difference in your life, offering you a fresh start.

When a record is sealed or expunged, it essentially becomes invisible to potential employers, landlords, or any other individuals or organizations that might conduct a background check. This means that you would be able to move forward in life without the heavy burden of a conviction holding you back, opening doors to new job prospects and housing opportunities. If you have a prior DUI on your record, now is the perfect time to explore your options and take proactive steps toward a brighter future. Don’t wait any longer—contact Brian D. Roman today to schedule a consultation and discuss how you can take control of your circumstances.
