Amazing representation!!!

Given I was facing a 2nd DUI charge in court , If I could give 10 stars to Mr. Waldbaum, I would. I called him Saturday and he met me for my court date on Monday Morning. He walked me through step by step of the Mass DUI law and what parts could affect me and what wouldn't. He kept me on task as l...ike anyone else, my mind was jumping all over the place and over analyzing things. Mr. Waldbaum talked to the ADA in court this morning and I was able to leave as a 1st offender, eligible for a hardship license immediately, an overall 45 day suspension of my license, classes one day a week, and if after a year I have no other offenses, the charge is dismissed. Joe did his part, the rest is up to me. I never thought it might end this well. Joe is top notch in my mind and would highly recommend. Though he does this all time, what he did for me, keeping my ability to work, drive , and overall function, I cannot understate. He doesn't make promises and didn't give me any answers or opinions until he saw all the facts and did his investigation. If you're ever subject to the MA DUI laws, I don't think you can go wrong with Joe as your attorney. He has my undying gratitude.

FATHERLY ADVISE FOR MY SON

My son had an OUI plus 3 other charges.This created turmoil at home and getting the right help for my son was a roll of the dice. Fortunately I found Joseph Waldbaum and he guided myself and my family through the entire process and that continued beyond the court experience. Joseph acted father to fa...ther with myself and stuck with my son through the ordeal. It couldn't have gone better thanks to Joseph. I'm greatfull for all his support.

Thank you.

Hopefully this is the first & last time I will ever need the services of a lawyer. Unfortunately, this charge truly can happen to ANYONE. It is not at all a good feeling and I empathize your situation if you are reading this now. So, I was charged with OUI first offense w/ speeding & marked lanes vio...lation. I ended up choosing Waldbaum due to the positive reviews on this website and another 3'rd party site. My case was ultimately dismissed because the trooper was not available for further trial dates so I was VERY lucky. I probably would've CWOF'd (which would've been FAR worse repercussions) if Joe didn't guide me. Waldbaum has very good communication; any questions you have he will respond promptly, particularly email. Also, he doesn't lie and promise you the world i.e. he gives you realistic probability of things such as it being unlikely, likely, very likely etc. He also fought to have my license restored immediately & won. You can tell that Waldbaum has extensive experience by the way he approaches your case, very methodical.

I am not guilty!!!

Lawyer Joe Waldbaum proved to be a real professional. He paid attention to every little detail in my case. Even though i had 0.9% bac, that is more than alloweed rate, he still was able to prove judge that i was not guilty. I highly recommend Joe Waldbaum for your case. He is honest and professional... lawyer who does his job in the best possible way.

Client recomendation: OUI REPRESENTATION

Attorney Waldbaum represented me for a 2nd OUI / breath test refusal and won. Then months after getting my drivers license back, I was arrested and charged for OUI / breath test refusal in another state. Waldbaum introduced me to someone on his plane in that state, who won that as well. Then Attorney... Waldbaum represented me and navigated the Massachusetts Hearing & Appeals process so that the penalties against me from being arrested in another state where settled. I am now driving because of his skills, attention to detail and relentless pursuit of a successful verdict. 1st time, my fault. Second time, my fault. Both times; a Waldbaum Win.
