Excellent Attorney

Jay was knowledgable about the intricacies of the case and OUI law. He was supportive and professional, helping throughout the entire process. Ultimately he was able to achieve a favorable outcome as well. Would definitely recommend.

Jay is the one and only one to help with your case - Trust him

I found myself in a situation that I never thought I would be in - Arrested for OUI - I was panicking, stressed out, and beyond upset and lost - Jay was recommended by a friend and the minute I spoke with him on the phone (at 7 am day after arrest) he helped put my mind at ease - he explained what wo...uld happen when I went to my court appearance that morning - He told me what to say and what to expect. He was always there to answer any and all questions that I had ridiculous or not.....he never judged me, he was so calm and positive and factual with me - He knows the law and he knows how to represent anyone in this same situation - He explained everything and was so patient with all that I asked of him. He was especially patient with my tears that seemed to just keep flowing ;) - knowing that I could not drive to meet him in person after may license was taken for the 30 days after arrest he went out of his way to meet me near my home, on a SATURDAY - I mean, really? This is just the type of person he is, thoughtful considerate and so caring - Not to mention that he is fair, honest and smart - The months leading up to my court date were stressful - A few days before my court date Jay called me just to ask me how I was doing - how kind is that?? He put my mind at ease by telling me that he would be with me every step of the way and would do his very best to get the best possible outcome at my trial - Day of trial we had to decide whether I would go with a jury trial or go before the judge only and waive the jury trial - i was panicked, I didn't know what to do and he calmly explained how it would all work - Together we made the decision to go with a bench trial - I had confidence in him but of course was worried and sick over it hoping we made the correct decision. I didn't testify at my trial - we talked about it and decided together that it wasn't in may best interest - Jay's expertise and his questioning of the State Police Trooper that arrested me blew me away - I sat there in awe of how Jay questioned this guy - He was firm but very direct with him asking him all sorts of questions and questioning him on most every detail of his not so detailed police report - I was just amazed that this awesome lawyer was doing this all for me - I could not have asked for a better verdict as I was found Not Guilty of OUI and it was because of how Jay handled this case - I am forever grateful and indebted to Jay - If you find yourself or someone you know needing an OUTSTANDING lawyer and all around good person please call Jay Milligan - I promise you will not be disappointed. I will never ever forget Jay and how he took care of me with professionalism, kindness and knowledge of the law.

Simply the Best for the Job!

From the moment I spoke to James Milligan I knew he was the right person for the job. He is very knowledgeable, professional and more important when the time came he was fully prepared and as expected we got the results we wanted. I highly recommend him, you will be in the best hands!

Fantastic Boating OUI Attorney

Jay is a fantastic attorney. He provided his cell phone and was there to answer questions throughout the entire process. He was very well versed in marine law and nuances of a boating issue versus driving a car. His experience and presence in the courtroom during the trial was absolutely impressiv...e. You will be very happy with choosing Jay and his team.

Best Ever

Not sure where to begin. I have a very high regard for Jay Milligan. He's smart, confident, prepared and presents a calming influence. If you are looking for a quick fix you won't find it here because Jay will do everything in his power to get the most favorable outcome for you and that takes time an...d patience. In my case it took 15 months but Jay got my case dismissed and I couldn't be happier. Jay will not promise you an easy road and/or a not guilty or a dismissal because no one can promise that or should promise you that. Courts and Judges can be very fickle. You are at the court's mercy whether you like it or not. Jay will always be there for you to keep you calm and to keep your eye on the ultimate prize - a dismissal or a not guilty. If anyone can deliver that ultimate prize it's Jay Milligan and his firm. Bar none. Do yourself a favor. Call him ASAP if you have been charged with a DUI. You will not regret it.
