Defending Clients at the Salem District Court

If you have been arrested on DUI or OUI charges in Beverly, Danvers, or Manchester, it is important to take your situation very seriously.  An OUI/DUI arrest can lead to a number of penalties upon conviction, including large fines, imprisonment, driver's license suspension, community service, and probation.   When faced with DUI charges in Essex County, it is important to hire a DUI attorney who has experience defending clients at the Salem District Court, as your case will likely be handled there.  For more information about the Salem District Court, please click on the link provided.

The DUI Court Process

There are multiple stages of a DUI case, and it begins with your appearance at an arraignment.  This will be the first time you appear at Salem District Court. The judge will read the charges that have been filed against and ask you to enter your plea of guilty or not guilty.  After entering your plea, the judge will then set a date for the pre-trial conference.   Based on the circumstances of your arrest, you and your attorney can decide to accept a plea bargain from the District Attorney (which usually involves pleading guilty to a lesser offense, i.e. reckless driving, in exchange for avoiding additional prosecution), or move forward to trial, where your case will be tried before a judge and jury.

It is very beneficial to have an experienced DUI attorney guiding you through the DUI court process.   At the Massachusetts DUI Defense Group, we understand this is probably unfamiliar territory for you, and that you are likely feeling scared, concerned, and completely overwhelmed.
