Fantastic Lawyer

Attorney MIlligan was excellent in helping to resolve an issue with the board of appeals regarding my C.D.L. He was recommended via another attorney as being one of the best in these matters. James Milligan Jr Esq. was accessible and accomodating. He even came to my home town to meet with me and go o...ver where we were in the process. He returned all calls and addressed all issues. At the hearing James Milligan Attorney, was polite but firm and very knowledgeable about Mass. State laws and its subcodes. He won my case and went as far as to make sure the R.M.V. issued my C.D.L. immediately. I was very pleased with James and would not only use him again but would recommend him to someone in need of an attorney.

Very professional and responsive. Highly recommend.

After searching and speaking with 4 attorneys to handle my DUI case, Attorney James Milligan became the clear choice. In my first meeting with him, he carefully reviewed my case and went over all the potential options/outcomes and gave me an honest assessment of his opinion regarding the facts of my ...case. He laid out what his strategy would be, my options for winning the case, and the downside/risks of potentially losing. He was extremely knowledgeable regarding the intricacies of the law and areas to challenge the charges in my case. Having never faced charges of any kind before, it was a very nerve-wracking experience for me, but Attorney Milligan helped things go as smoothly as possible. Throughout the process, Attorney Milligan was always very responsive to calls and emails and always provided answers to all my questions regarding the case. He also delivered on his commitment and overall strategy in my case. The final result of my case was the most favorable outcome I could have anticipated at the beginning, with my DUI charge getting dismissed by the government. I'm very pleased that I chose Attorney Milligan to represent me and would highly recommend him.

DUI Lawyer Review

When I was charged with DUI I was unaware about the new DUI laws in Mass. Because I had prior offenses over twenty years ago, I was being charge for a third offense and was facing mandatory jail time if convicted. In addition because I did not take the breathalyzer my license was immediately revoke...d. If I was convicted, my life would be turned upside down.I knew I would have to go to trial and I needed an Attorney who specializes in defending DUI cases. I did a lot of research to find the best attorney to handle my case and all my research pointed to Attorney James Milligan. I interviewed Attorney Milligan and was impressed with his expertise in defending DUI cases. He was easy to get a hold of and always listened to my concerns regarding my case. His firm made sure to call and remind me of any court dates I had. My case went to trial and Attorney Milligan was fully prepared to defend me. Because of Attorney Milligan's expertise I was found not guilty. In addition Attorney Milligan had the court return my drivers license. Now I can get on with my life. I would highly recommend Attorney Milligan to anyone facing a DUI.

The Best DUI Defense Attorney in Massachusetts

Upon finding myself facing a conviction for a DUI 2nd offense, I needed to find the best DUI defense against these charges. I did extensive research interviewing multiple DUI Attorneys, and determined that Attorney Milligan was without any question, the Attorney I should hire. This was the best d...ecision I ever made, as the Jury found me NOT GUILTY after only 20 minutes. I failed two field sobriety test, was unsteady on my feet, smelled of alcohol, and my eyes were blood shot. The State had a Civilian witness and a State Trooper testifying that I was all over the road. Attorney Milligan is well respected within the court system having a friendly demeanor with the District Attorneys, Judges and other court officials. Attorney Milligan would answer all of my questions, sometimes more than once, and often after working hours. He always returned my phone calls quickly, and my conversations were never rushed. He would also offer friendly advice on handling this stressful situation, and made me feel at ease during all my court appearances.
