Great!

Atty Higgins was great in helping with my daughter's driving suspension due to a traffic violation. He responded quickly, was compassionate, and provided a very helpful free consultation. After deciding to hire Atty Higgins, he continued to correspond in a timely manner and his help resulted in a p...ositive outcome.

Phenomenal Defense Attorney

Attorney Higgins WAS NOT recommended to me but I wish that he was! I was very fortunate and very lucky to find Joe. I have 2 prior OUI's that I was guilty of and pleaded down to a CWOF. I was pulled over on Route 3 for excessive speed when passing a State Trooper. The trooper approached and asked... me for my license and registration. I delivered and he took it back to his vehicle. After a few minutes(and I assure you he was looking into my past infractions) he returned to the vehicle and based entirely on my previous record he asked me to exit my vehicle on the premise that he smelled alcohol(he didn't because this time I was not guilty) the officer asked me to perform a field sobriety test. He gave me 2 tests and then went back to his vehicle to get a breathalyzer(which I refused). Attorney Higgins quickly reviewed the records of the interaction and assured me that he felt there was no cause and that he could successfully defend me. I had very little interaction with Joe as we went through the process(I prefer this as I have to use my focus for my job)...I understand that some people don't like this but I hired an attorney to handle the situation FOR me not WITH me. Attorney Higgins did EXACTLY that for me. He never bothered me with things I wouldn't understand but was always available to answer my questions when I had them. He took complete control of the situation and afforded me the comfort of being able to relax knowing that I was not guilty and that someone was fighting on my side FOR me. I was looking at a 3rd OUI conviction and facing a massive penalty including jail time and loss of license for the foreseeable future for something I didn't actually do. Attorney Higgins delivered on every promise he made to me while making me aware of the ramifications. I would 100% recommend him for anyone facing an OUI charge.

100% recommend

In December of 2018 I was pulled over and charged with my first DUI. The night I was arrested and charged I felt unsure about my chances of getting out of this. I was advised by other attorneys that I had no chance of winning this case because of the evidence provided by the police officer, so I felt... completely defeated and hopeless at this point. I did some more research and found Attorney Joe Higgins. After initially reaching out to him on his website for possible consultation, Joe called me within a few minutes. As I explained my case to Attorney Higgins, he was up font about the possibilities, but gave me clarity and relief about my case. From the beginning of this process until the day I was found not guilty, he was always available and receptive to all questions I had. It was worth every penny! I would highly recommended Joe Higgins as a DUI attorney.

Outstanding Representation A+++

It being my 3rd. OUI, a guilty finding would land me a minimum of 6 months in jail as well as no longer being able to practice within my profession. Joe was honest about the risks, highly professional throughout this entire legal process,highly responsive to my questions and concerns, compassionate, ...and used his stellar knowledge of the law to convince the jury that there was reasonable doubt in my case. He did an excellent job at every legal step of the way. This resulted in a not-guilty finding. He also put the necessary legal steps in place for me to get my driver's license back through the RMV. Joe was worth every penny! He did a stellar job! If your life is on the line and you want the very best representation possible -Hire Joe! He is the real deal.

OUI Defense - Joe Higgins

Joe did everything I could have hoped for out of an attorney. He was always quick to answer my questions through email or phone call, always acted professionally, and was sympathetic to my situation. He reviewed my case until he was fully familiar with each detail. It was clear each time that I appea...red in court that the judge, the DA, and the other attorneys respect him and listen to what he has to say. He was successfully able to win my trial and save me a lot of trouble.
