Joseph John Higgins III

Hiring Joe was the best decision I have ever made. I unfortunately was facing a 3rd offense and was looking at mandatory jail time. My case dragged on for almost 2 years and throughout the entire process Joe was always responsive with any questions I had and each time we had to go to court Joe was prepared and made me feel assured. When the trial day finally came, I went with Joe’s advice, and we went with a Jury Waived trial. Through cross examination of the officer Joe was able to poke holes in the officer’s police report and prove to the judge the number of things I did right in the field sobriety test. Joe was able to quickly prove that the case did not rise to the burden of proof the State needed. We were able to obtain a Not Guilty Verdict on all counts and won the motion with the judge to reinstate my license. If you are ever in an unfortune situation like this, do not look any further, Joe is the person to hire.

Atty. Higgins was very knowledgeable in my complex case and was able to take the time to explain in simple terms what the options were. Although difficult, he was able to successfully resolve the matter in an expedient time frame. Anyone who is skillful in their own profession can recognize the same in others practicing theirs.

I was recently charged with my 1st OUI offense and driving to endanger. The prospect of dealing with the courts and the RMV seemed daunting. When I initially contacted Joe, he responded promptly, something he would do in all of our subsequent communications. He carefully reviewed the details of my case and clearly informed me of my options and what to expect going forward. He was also able to get one of the charges against me dismissed. I give him my highest recommendation.

I had the pleasure to work with Joe and he did an amazing job. I highly recommend joe to anyone who needs representation.

I worked with Joe during the midst of the pandemic when I got an OUI. Joe represented me during this process. I highly recommend him as he has a great track record of getting favorable outcomes.

Joseph "Joe" Higgins is nothing short of a Super Lawyer, a distinction bestowed upon him by The Boston Globe. Unlike other defense attorneys, Joe has made defending citizens who face civil or criminal vehicular violations the focus of his life's work; all to the benefit of his clients. Other attorneys who practice a smorgasbord of legal issues often recommend Joe when the case involves vehicular or other RMV matters. Joe knows the ins-and-outs of the Massachusetts general laws pertaining to vehicular violations and their associated legal procedures. Equally important, he knows how and when to use data, evidence and legal arguments to provide leverage and advantage for his clients. Joe is a straight-shooter and has gained the respect and admiration of hearing officers, clerk magistrates, prosecutors and judges across Massachusetts. Joe is caring, candid, honest and unflappable. He does not make promises that he knows or believes are unattainable, but he works tirelessly and cooperatively with his clients to achieve the greatest possible outcome. Just as importantly, and even as busy as Joe is (i.e., he is in one court or another virtually every day), he is extraordinarily responsive to his clients. If he's unable to answer a call. or fully address an email or a text immediately, he'll send an email or text indicating when he can, and it's always within a reasonable period of time I feel extremely fortunate to have found Joe, that he was willing to represent me, and that together we achieved what other attorneys (and even Joe himself initially) thought to be an unachievable or very unlikely, but true and factual outcome. He's simply the best there is.

After a not guilty verdict on an OUI charge, my son needed representation for his hearing for license reinstatement at the RMV. Joe came highly recommended by our criminal attorney and he did not disappoint! The Registry of Motor Vehicles is a whole other level of nonsense and you absolutely need an attorney to deal with it. Joe is the best!

Im happy to write this review knowing the person reading this Doesn’t need to look any further for an OUI attorney. I had hired Joseph Higgins after firing my original attorney I had hired for my 1st Oui offense. What a night and day difference let me tell you! Here I am in a jam just fired my lawyer have trial set for the following week didn’t know what to do then I found attorney Higgins . From the second attorney Higgins took my case over I felt instant relief of stress. He always answered all my texts/calls promptly and communicated very well making sure I always knew what was going on with my case at all times also explaining what he thought my best options were. When it came to trial I was impressed by his professionalism ,confidence,calm compulsure and the absolute clinic he put on during his cross examination of a police officer. I was Found not guilty of first offense OUI after crashing my truck into a telephone pole. I couldn’t thank or recommend Attorney Higgins enough

Joe was amazingly professional and the perfect advocate. He is extremely knowledgable and put my mind at ease walking me through the process every step of the way. He would respond to questions in a timely manner and I would recommend him to anyone. Truly the best there is!

I recently was charged with my first OUI and negligent operation offenses and Joe exceeded expectations. He was always quick to respond to any questions I had and fought until I achieved the best possible outcome for the given situation. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as he genuinely wants the best outcome for every client.

Attorney Higgins represented me with a DUI case in the Boston Municipal Court. At trial, Attorney Higgins presented himself as highly skilled attorney who proved excellent council during the trial. Attorney Higgins was victorious in a " NOT GUILTY" finding. I would without reservation recommend Attorney Higgins. J Mc BOSTON

Joe was the absolute best attorney and I am so thankful for his assistance. He helped me during the most stressful time. He knows everything there is to know about OUIs and gives his honest opinion and advice in an extremely calming manner. Anytime I needed to talk (just to ask questions or calm my nerves) he was available pretty much immediately to assist me. I would HIGHLY recommend Joe to anyone. He is the best!

I felt like I was looking down the barrel of a gun when I got my court magistrate hearing. The police report read like a narrative and I was charged with a 2nd oui and leaving the scene. My first was over ten years ago. Joe was forthright with me and said a plea was best, and the deal I got was more than I could of hoped for. He is a calming presence, straightforward, and understands the court systems he works within,. My life may be a lot different right now if I did not choose to hire this attorney,

Attorney Higgins really knows the drunk driving laws. Better so than most of the police and prosecutors out there. I thought I was helpless after being charged with a 3rd OUI because of some arrests more than 25 years ago. After the prosecution made me out to be a bad criminal in front of the jury Mr Higgins only needed 5-10 minutes of cross-examinations and facts to set the record straight. Not Guilty.

My journey with Attorney Higgins lasted almost four years. It was a well deserved journey for it ended with a Not Guilty verdict. I was charged with a second DUI with the first being over 10 years ago. Attorney Higgins is simply the best. Very professional, time conscious, communicates effectively and clearly. He does not tell you everything will be fine. What he will tell you after thoroughly examining your case is, we have a chance to win and that is all you need. For with legal matters, it can go either way. But one thing you will realize when you hire him is, he will put his very best food forward. You will instantly know he is on your side for the journey, should you choose him. I had the opportunity of watching him in the court room with the confidence he carries, the preparedness and the depth of knowledge about DUI cases in the way he was challenging the police report. He is a master. Please, look no further if you have a DUI case. He is simply the best.
