2nd offense chemical refusal

Joe did contact me immediately after I contacted him, and he did get me to forward him $4K as the cost for the initial second offense defense, not including trail. He did provide the court with the paperwork on my arraignment the following morning, and emailed detailed expected processes and costs. H...e recommended that I go for the 2K upgrade to challenge the RMV on the automatic lose of license for chemical refusal, I did. The hearing was a bench hearing and it was not allowed, due to the paperwork being filed by the RMV in a timely manner. (which they are good about doing since have been ruled against in the past). I ultimately lost confidence in Joe, asked for a refund, and was given refunded 2,800 of the initial 4k. All total he got me for 3,800 which is what my new lawyer charged me for everything. My case was eventually dismissed and I got my license back from the RMV.

1st offense OUI

My experience with Joseph was very pleasant. He was very professional and was always available to answer questions during this hard time. Joseph quickly and thoroughly assessed my situation and advised me on the best possible options. He ended up getting two charges dropped (saved me about $2200) and... also got me a CWOF deal. I would recommend his services to anyone in this situation and I would absolutely hire him again.

Great web site, poor lawyer

Attorney Waldbaum never showed up for three of my court appearances. He was always too busy doing something else. But not too busy to take my money. Two weeks before going to court for my trial he basically said I couldn't win and told me why which is the same information he could've told me four mo...nths before. I fired him and got another attorney

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.

Beat my OUI

The best lawyer I had to ever deal with. Very experienced in the field and knows what he's talking about. I put my trust in Mr. Waldbaum and he didn't let me down, kept me updated with the case. Always made sure I knew the date was coming up, what court room, and what to do. If your fighting a OUI ch...arge, call him! He got me off and that's not all... He even waived the last payment so I could go out and celebrate with a few friends, very nice guy!
