Excellent Counsel

Attorney Waldbaum represented me for a first time oui offense after I was stopped and refused a breathalyzer test and failed a field sobriety test. There were other complicating matters as well but throughout the process he apprised me in exacting and methodical detail what to expect and the best str...ategy for approaching the case taking into consideration the outcome I hoped for and my finances. Information was conveyed in both conversation as well as in writing in updates at each juncture of the process and he provided me with everything I could possibly need in order to make an informed decision about next steps and preparation. In addition to the legal advice provided he is also sensitive to the circumstances and even provided a list of resources for grocery shopping etc given the loss of license while waiting for disposition of the case. My case was continued without a finding and he successfully had charges of negligent operation and marked lanes violations dismissed as well as a finding of not responsible for the general lanes violation charge. He immediately notified me once I was eligible to apply for a hardship license after checking the rmv database daily. He made a very difficult circumstance much easier with his professional, prompt and informed guidance, his in depth knowledge of the law and the detailed information and analysis provided at each step in the process. I would highly recommend him.

If you need a miracle call Joe

Six years ago I had my first OUI, used a different lawyer and took a guilty plea. Last year I got my second OUI which seemed impossible to fight. The 3 year loss of license for the breath refusal meant the loss of my job. It would affect my marriage and the rest of my life. I thank God I called Joe w...ho calmed my fears and got my license back from the RMV in a few weeks so I could drive legally for the 9 months it took to go to trial. There he fought the case with brilliant expertise and won a NOT GUILTY! I have a new lease on life and will be forever grateful to God for putting attorney Waldbaum in my path.

Straight shooter!

Joe really got me out of a jam! I got arrested after I went through a stop sign and the officer sensed I had been drinking. He explained all the strengths and weaknesses my case had. But by asking me everything about my case during our many phone call and meetings, he maximized all the strengths and ...downplayed all the weeknesses into a NOT GUiLTY VERDICT! Hes a winner. Thanks Joe!

Unmatched Performance

I hired attorney Waldbaum after a very stressful arraignment for a second OUI. Short of going back in time to avoid the arrest, choosing to be represented by him was the best thing I could have done. He immediately lifted very unfavorable terms of my probation. He outperformed the DA in every angle. ...After a swift NOT GUILTY from the jury (which was more than I could have hoped for) he went back to court three times on my behalf and got my LICENSE RESTORED. Seven out of five star review!!

Above expectations

My son was arrested for an oui and four other charges. I called one of the top law firms in R. I. to hire a lawyer but because it was an arrest in Mass. They couldn't help me. So they referred me to Atty. Joseph Waldbaum. I then called Atty. Waldbaum explained my situation an all the charges. Dur...ing a 20 min. conversation he explained all my options and what it would cost me. I hired him on the spot and knew from that first conversation that I was sent to the right person. I decided to go to court because the only way to really resolve the charges is to win a not guilty verdict in court. This was the first time I had ever needed an Atty. or faced such a devastating situation. During this process I had many questions and concerns and whenever I called or e mailed Atty Waldbaum he got back to me right away even on the weekend. The case went to trial and after only two court appearances Atty. Waldbaum won a not guilty verdict on the two criminal charges and I only had to pay 200.00 for the two lesser charges. He even had my sons right to drive restored immediately. So if you ever need an Atty. who is an expert on oui charges I strongly suggest you call Atty. Joseph Waldbaum.
