Joseph Waldbaum's Legal Cases (24)

DUI and DWI

NOT GUILTY; FAILED BREATH TEST AT ROADBLOCK

Mar 15, 2010

OUTCOME: Not Guilty at trial despite failed breath test

I told the Trooper I had been drinking and smoked pot. He arrested me after the field tests and then I failed the breath tests too. I hired Attorney Joseph Waldbaum after speaking with him on the phone ... just once. He was always professional and courteous and communication was excellent. He kept me up to date with detailed written reports and explained all my options. As a result, I decided to fight. At my drunk driving Trial, he did an excellent job cross examining the Trooper –who was no slouch and trains all the other Troopers. "At Trial, he did one hell of a job and made one hell of an argument!"

DUI and DWI

NOT GUILTY- WESTBORO - ROADBLOCK

Feb 26, 2010

OUTCOME: FAILED BREATH TEST AND FIELD TESTS BUT NOT GUILTY

I was stopped at a roadblock and told the Trooper I had been drinking 45 minutes ago. He took me out of the car and I foolishly agreed to do the field sobriety tests. I failed them all and was arrested ... . Then I –also foolishly—agreed to take the breathalyzer in the trailer nearby. I failed both those too. Plus, at Trial, the Trooper testified my eyes couldn’t focus on him and I was unsteady on my feet. No matter. Joe’s obvious skills during cross-examination won the day. "Put yourself in his hands -- he's a god." -Eric. OK to call me at 508-479-8570

N/A

OUTCOME: WALTHAM / NEWTON: NOT GUILTY

Client ended up on the rear lawn of a house after hitting a pole and going through a fence. They drew blood at the hospital and it was over three times the legal limit. At my Motion to Suppress, I get ... the blood test thrown out. At jury trial, my Motion to exclude all the medical records was allowed when I showed the Judge the DA hadn’t complied with the law. I just kept chipping away at their case until there was nothing left. The jury was out less than an hour.
