Wise Choice

Jay is a consummate professional and instantly makes you feel confident you made the right choice. He knows the DUI laws inside and out and is quickly able to make clear exactly where you stand at every point during this stressful process. Most importantly, he equips you with the precise knowledge to... make the best decision and obtain the best outcome you can. In the courtroom his experience shines and it’s obvious that he is well respected by everyone from the Judge on down. He always returned my calls promptly. His partner Joe Higgins was always there to fill in and is equally as confident, knowledgeable and dedicated to your case. At the office Karen keeps things running like a clock. You don’t just get Jay on your side you get a true legal team. Highly Recommended!

Excellent Attorney

Attorney Jay Milligan represented my intellectually challenged son who was arrested and charged with a DUI. I knew he needed someone on his side and Jay came VERY highly recommended to us. He was professional and confident through the trial and delays and resulted in a not guilty outcome. Jay was ...very good at staying in touch and answering any questions I had. The book he wrote “The Massachusetts OUI Survival Guide” was a good guide as to what to expect. It is a complicated process made less stressful by Attorney Milligan’s competency and his office staff. I would highly recommend him.

Quick response and great service - that's what I got with Jay and his team

Jay and his team (Joe and Karen) were a huge help in protecting my driver's license. I needed fast help dealing with the RMV on an out-of-state suspension issue from two years ago. Jay answered his phone on a holiday and put the wheels in motion to act fast on my behalf. Less than a week later it was... taken care of and behind me. He and his his team did everything they said they would do. He was upfront and honest and was in contact every day until the matter was addressed by the RMV. And in the end the matter was taken care of quickly and professionally.

Attorney James Milligan

Going through a DUI is a very stressful, life altering experience. I made the right decision in hiring James Milligan. I felt as though I was treated as a person rather than just another client. He was always available immediately by phone or text, or if he was in court or with someone else, he would... get back to me right away. During the process I was extremely worried one weekend, and I called him on a Sunday on his day off, and he took the time to answer my questions and put my mind at ease. Karen Williams was also very helpful and professional and would answer my questions any time I called and would keep me updated by phone or email. I was also Impressed with Attorney Joe Higgins who was well prepared with my case and helped me throughout the entire Registry Process. They make up a great team. In the end I was able to save my CDL, and ultimately able to save my job. I highly recommend Attorney James Milligan.

Not guilty

Jay took on my third offense oui two years ago, throughout this time we had encountered 5 continuances. Although it seems like it lasts forever, getting a not guilty is worth the wait. During this time jay and his staff we always there to answer any questions I had, and appear at multiple hearings on... my behalf. When we got to trial, Jays preparation and professionalism was outstanding, and lead to a not guilty. I would recommend Jay to anyone of my friends or family, thank you Jay for all that you did.
