DUI Specialist

He was extremely knowledgeable about DUIs as he specializes in them. We was very upfront about what he thought about the case and the outcome after he reviewed the facts. We was a little more than some other lawyers I talked to but it is worth it to have a lawyer that speicalizes in the matter and k...nows every avenue he can take before actually going to trial. Mine took a while but I never had to go to trial. I felt completely confident in his hands.

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.
