North Shore Boating Under the Influence (BUI) Defense Attorney

Aggressive Defense on the North Shore for BUI Offenses

Boating Under the Influence is as serious a charge as any DUI charge.  A BUI has extremely severe penalties, and if convicted you are quite possibly going to be spending some time in jail and paying large fines.  Boating is a fun family or recreational activity, and many people do not realize the severity of BUI charges, and the dangerous legal situation you are facing if you are arrested and charged.  There is a police unit that is dedicated to finding and arresting anyone who is on the waterways, driving a watercraft and consuming alcohol.  When you are stopped, you will be asked to take a breathalyzer test and if you "blow" .08% or above, you will immediately be arrested and charged.  It is crucial at this point to contact a North Shore BUI Defense Attorney to aggressively defend you.

BUI Defense Lawyer on the North Shore

BUI penalties in Massachusetts are very harsh.  If you are found to be operating a boat or other watercraft with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level of .08% or above, you will be arrested and charged and will face some very serious penalties, including the following:

• A first time offender could spend up to 30 months in prison.  The fines can be as high as $1,000.  Not only will your boat registration be revoked, but you will also lose your driver's license for up to one year.
  
  
• If you are a "repeat offender" your penalties will be increased radically.
  
  
• Should serious bodily injuries occur as a result of a BUI accident, if you are convicted you could be imprisoned for up to 10 years and the fines could reach as high as $5,000.

Do not take chances with any BUI charge.  You are in serious trouble if arrested, and it is utterly critical that you have legal representation if you are facing such a charge.  With a skilled North Shore BUI Lawyer seeking out a defense on your behalf, you increase the chances of a better outcome in your case.  As the penalties are so severe in this charge, you must immediately get a lawyer before you plead "guilty".  There may be a defense for your case that you were unaware was possible.
