Drug Offense/OUI FAQs
At McNally Law Office, we're committed to giving you the information you need to understand our services and how they can benefit your case. No matter your questions, our team is here to answer them. Some of the most frequently asked questions about our drug offense and OUI legal counsel services include:
Is an OUI charge a felony or a misdemeanor?
In the state of Massachusetts, a first-offense OUI is considered a misdemeanor. However, the state categorizes an OUI as a felony if it's a third offense or higher or involves death or serious bodily injury. We'll establish which type of offense you've been charged with and how to move forward with your case.
What's the difference between drug trafficking and distribution?
The difference between drug trafficking and distribution depends on the amount of drugs involved. For example, drug trafficking is charged when you have 18 grams more of a controlled substance. If you're arrested while possessing less than 18 grams of a controlled substance, you may be charged with distribution.
Will I lose my driver's license if I'm convicted of a drug crime?
In previous years, if you were convicted of a drug crime, you automatically lost your diver's license. However, the state legislature has been amended to remove the mandatory loss of a driver's license following conviction.
