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.

Restored my confidence

After being arrested on my first DUI offense, I obtained a court-appointed lawyer at my arraignment. After one meeting, I knew I needed a specialist in order to feel well-informed and confident in my decision making. My friend found James M. Milligan, Jr. online and I called him right away. Attorney ...Milligan first impressed me by answering his own phone on the second ring. I expected to speak to a paralegal or get voicemail since my number would not be recognized on my first call. He proceeded to listen carefully to my situation and offered to meet with me at his earliest convenience. He was attentive and professional and instantly put me at ease without any false promises. When we met in person, Attorney Milligan fully explained all of my options and spoke to me in a manner that was serious and respectful which gave me the confidence to make my own decision about whether to go to trial. Once I decided to plea, he arranged a court date within two days. I was completely amazed and relieved. On my hearing day, he made sure I understood exactly what I was doing and gave me one last opportunity to ask quesions before I faced the judge. He stayed by my side and whispered behavioral instructions to me so that I wouldn't offend the judge by accident. Having all of the infomation that I needed, my anxiety was eased. When all was said and done, I knew without a doubt that I had made the right decision in choosing Attorney Milligan to represent me. I highly recommend him.

Review of Attorney James Milligan, Jr.

Attorney Milligan did a great job with getting my DUI dismissed. A first time offense for me, after initially reviewing my case with Atty Milligan he advised me that he thought it was one worth fighting given the facts of the case. I decided to do so and, although a long process with motions, etc.,... in the end it was worth it and the case was eventually decided in my favor. I can now get my life back in order and put it past me. Atty Milligan's expertise with DUI cases was the key factor in all of this.
