Welcome to our weekly legal column.

An OUI conviction carries significant negative consequences that go beyond the loss of your driver’s license.  Attorney Matt Nichols is widely regarded as Maine’s top OUI defense lawyer.  He has successfully defended thousands of citizens accused of OUI as well as other crimes ranging from major felonies to simple misdemeanors. Attorney Nichols is a certified Intoxilyzer operator and has testified as an expert witness on its operation and administration.

If you have been charged with OUI, you will face two separate proceedings.  One is a criminal case in court with potential fines, jail and a license suspension.  The other is an administrative license suspension proceeding with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. The BMV will mail you a Notice of Suspension usually within a couple of weeks after the incident. Make sure the BMV has your current mailing address so you don’t miss the notice.  You have due process rights to fight both proceedings.
