Honest and sincere

I was arrested for 1st offense refusal. I was very unsure about what was going to happen next and looked up OUI lawyers, after reading and listening to previous clients statement on his website I decides to give Mr Waldbaum a call. Mr. Waldbaum returned my call immediately and began to verbally walk ...me through what was going to happen, this was very helpful and made things much less stressful, he was very honest about everything that he could do for me. We went to court and got everything done in 1 day, I was leaving for a vacation to Europe in a few weeks following the arrest and his expert handing of my case allowed me to still take this trip. I had trouble getting my license back after court because of the RMV changing their computer systems, MR. Waldbaum and his associate Mr. Dunn were very proactive and went as far as spending over 4 hours at the RMV/ running back and forth to the court house to get documents until the RMV gave me a license, and to top it off they did not charge me for all this extra service. I was on the fence about hiring a lawyer and spending that much money, I am so grad I did and would highly recommend MR. Waldbaum and Mr. Dunn.

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.

Superb Defense!

Joseph Waldbaum provided excellent representation for our son, who was innocent of the charge of operating under the influence. His professional expertise in presentation of the facts and proving the charges untrue resulted in a victorious outcome vindicating our son, who was found not guilty. Joseph... also challenged the automatic suspension of our son's license to operate by the registry because he refused to take a breathalyzer test and won, allowing our son to regain his license so he could drive to work and not jeopardize keeping his job. My husband and I recommend the high quality of his services to others and give our full endorsement of his qualifications.
