Attorney Waldbaum Recommendation

I was stopped at a sobriety checkpoint and refused a Field Sobriety Test and was arrested for OUI. Joe answered my early phone call the next day and was in my corner from the start. He is able to help you right from the beginning. He was able to explain the process clearly and help eliminate my anxi...ety and concerns. He explains exactly what will happen with each court hearing as well as the reason for it. He promptly answered all calls, emails and texts and provided me with multiple emails/calls throughout the process. He is truly with you for the whole process. He is honest and kind. His years of experience has helped him build relationships with many contacts in the legal system, who in turn were able to expedite the paperwork and decrease the time we had to wait for document processing. When I had trouble with the RMV, Joe was able to help push through my paperwork and get me back my license. I would recommend Attonery Waldbaum to anyone seeking OUI counsel.

Mr. Waldbaum saves the day!

Mr. Waldbaum kept me informed every week of how the case was going and what he intended on doing next time in court, I was communicated with constantly and he did his best and succeeded at getting the best results possible for my court by getting the DUI dismissed! He is amazing.

Couldn't have retained a better attorney

8/14/12 I was arrested for OUI 2nd last Oct 2011 w/high BAC and not the best of circumstances. Joe got me an unheard of 10 MONTHS from the time of my arrest to pretrial allowing me to work and drive for most of the interim. When we finally got to court, despite the DA requesting harsh punishment, aft...er Mr Waldbaum's presentation, the judge agreed with Joe to give me 1st OUI sentence with 90 day suspended license (I will have my work license within a week!) and my license fully reinstated after 90 days. Additionally, this normally calls for 2 years probation and Joe got me 1 year! I could have suffered much worse consequences and Joe got me the best possible outcome I could have hoped for. Throughout the whole ordeal, attorney Waldbaum was always straighforward, extremely professional and compassionate while consistently timely with email or phone call - whatever was appropriate. If you have been arrested for OUI there is NO BETTER choice of attorney to retain than attorney Joseph Waldbaum.

Knowledgable and Understanding Lawyer

Attorney Waldbaum did a wonderful job assisting me in my OUI case. The fact that he works specifically with OUI's means that his knowledge and understanding of the laws regarding your case is top notch. Don't listen to the reviews that say "I could have just done it myself". While it may seem like in...formation you could find online, it would take you weeks to do the research he can do in hours. He knows what forms to fill out and what phrases to use to provide you with the best (and quickest) solution to your problem. I know I could never have navigated the process the way he helped me do without him. In court he was the most professional lawyer there and clearly knew what he was doing. I would highly recommend Attorney Waldbaum.

Outstanding lawyer

Joe is an outstanding lawyer and great person. He really knows the law and how the system works. I was found with great relief not guilty. I felt great confidence in Joe from the moment I called him. He covered all the bases in regards to my case. He meticulously handled all the pre trial work involv...ed with an OUI case and his trial skills made the difference for my not guilty verdict. He was upfront and and honest with me. He didn't make me any promises. He told me what my chances were and what options I had, and weighed out the pros and cons for all the decisions I had to make. I don't feel I could have found a better lawyer and person to represent me during this difficult time in my life. If you need lawyer you would be smart to hire Joe.
