4th Offense OUI
The potential penalties for a fourth offense OUI or DUI in Massachusetts
- Jail for not less than 2 years, fines
- License suspension for 10 years
The Commonwealth must prove through a certified copy that you are a subsequent offender. A good OUI lawyer will make the Commonwealth come up with the certified record of conviction because if they cannot then they are unable to prove that it truly is a subsequent offense. It is important to note that the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) does not have these same strict conditions of proof and may impose a license suspension as a subsequent offender even though a good OUI lawyer has been able to have the case resolved as a lesser offense.
