Why is the DWI that was dismissed on record and can the court, use that against me?

John E. DeVito
Answered by attorney John E. DeVito (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at John DeVito
This is a common misnomer. People believe that if a case is dismissed it is not on their criminal record. In Massachusetts a "court record" is created once a complaint issues. A "criminal record" or CORI is created once a defendant is arraigned on the charges. The charges may ultimately be dismissed, but the dismissal is reflected on the CORI. The importance of a dismissal is that one can honestly state that they were never convicted of the crime charged. To clear your record in Massachusetts one must seal their record. Sealing a record does not necessarily mean that someone cannot find that you were arrested. If one is arrested and fingerprinted in Massachusetts all fingerprints are sent to the FBI. That creates an arrest record which is difficult to seal. If you have concerns about your record consult an experienced criminal attorney.

Can an blood test show more alcohol than a breathalyzer test?

Nathaniel D Shafer
Answered by attorney Nathaniel D Shafer
DUI/DWI lawyer at Natty Shafer Law
Yes, it's possible for the blood test to be higher. A breathalyzer is less accurate than the blood test. Sometimes that inaccuracy favors you when it shouldn't. That being said, it's possible to be charged with a metabolite DUI in Utah for having any traces of a drug in your blood. Hire an attorney to get the best chances of a favorable outcome with your case.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
