Attorney Waldbaum is a godsend

Attorney Waldbaum is an amazing lawyer! I was charged with OUI second offence and possession. All I can say is my case looked impossible to win and I have had two months of the worst stress imaginable. Attorney Waldbaum got me the first offenders second chance sentence and a continued with out a ...finding one the drug charges! I am still in shock over how good the outcome was. Attorney Waldbaum was honest and knowledgeable, he held my hand through every step of the process. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I am sorry, do yourself a favor and hire Mr. Waldbaum. You will be glad you did, I certainly am!

Attorney Waldbaum is AMAZING!!!

Attorney Waldbaum is a true professional and extremely knowledgeable! Being my 1st offense, I was scared and didn't know what I was going to do. The day after our initial conversation; he even called the next day to check in and make sure I was okay and to ensure I had no additional questions. Eve...ry time I called, he picked up and if not, he returned the call within in minutes. In court HE WAS AMAZING!!! After reading through everything, he did provide me with a summary report and explained all avenues. He did a great job to beat the case. Even after we finished at court, he didn't mind answering additional questions I had. I'm a type "A" personality and expect perfection and Attorney Waldbaum did not disappoint. I would recommend his services to anyone.

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.

good job

We found Mr. Waldbaum from a referral by a Lawrence attorney who had been referred to us by a Worcester attorney. The Lawrence attorney told us that Mr. Waldbaum was the one to go to. I contacted him on a Monday morning, giving him the details of the case. Within an hour, I had received emails with q...uestionnaires to fill out. The offendor filled out the forms, spoke at some length (as did the mom) with Mr. Waldbaum as to what to expect. We met him less than 24 hours later at court. He was extremely organized; everything was in a notebook with necessary highlights. We went through the order of business during which time he often stopped to ask if we had questions or needed information re-presented. He had everything in written form as well and had highlighted the pertinent material.Once we were in court, he was highly professional but warm as well. He argued for our child for what seemed an interminable amount of time and was able to get the"best" result possible. I found him thorough, precise, organized, warm and tenacious.
