About Jeffrey

PROTECTING YOUR FAMILY, HOME AND ASSETS.....Call

When I graduated from Law School, I was hired by the Law Offices of James L. Doyle in Lowell, Massachusetts.  Jim Doyle specialized in medicaid law and protecting assets for people in Nursing Homes.  Jim taught me how to protect the home and assets and I have been helping sons, daughters, nieces, nephews and friends of loved ones in Nursing Homes to do just that for over 18 years.  I work in all areas of Elder Law which account for about 80% of my practice.  I also practice in criminal defense and have over a 90% success rate in Operating Under the Influence cases and I also handle personal injury cases.

Review Jeffrey Higgins

Excellent Attorney

Posted by DennisWed Sep 25 2019

I have known Attorney Jeff Higgins for over 6-years. During those 6-years he has helped me with numerous issues. From my mothers estate when she passed away, with my personal will and trust, with my daughter and her issues. When I remarried he did our will at no cost! Jeff is much more than my attorney, I consider him a friend. A person I can ALWAYS count on for advice and/or any legal issues I may have. I would recommend Jeff to anyone; family, friend, or through a post such as this. I can never thank him for of his time, hard work, and representation if needed. Thank you very much Jeff for being a great Attorney and a friend. I have both consulted and hired Jeff Higgins.

My family made an agreement w Jeff in 1996 or thereabouts. It's been a VERY long 12 years. Mom now has dementia. Scores of emergency room visits, nurses, and hundreds of calls to Jeff: he answered every one of them! Oh, and by the way, he must have saved us at least a few hundred grand. Mom is now full time in nursing home. It was not easy for me and brought me to the brink of a breakdown. But I followed most every word of advice from Jeff. The house brings to my brother and I to split when (if-lol) mom dies.
