1st Offense OUI

I consulted with Mr. Higgin's regarding taking on a 1st offense OUI case. My case ended up getting sorted out before I was able to hire him but I was blown away with the time he took to read through my police report, explain things to me, and talk with me before I even hired him. Such a genuine perso...n and definitely someone to turn to when weighing your options for an OUI and finding out more information. I thank you so much for your time and anyone who needs help with a case I would trust him!

Look No Further, You've Found the Best!

Attorney Higgins represented me in November of 2020, stemming from a July DUI arrest with an extremely high breath test and other complicating factors. When I was looking for a lawyer to represent me, I felt completely hopeless. I thought, "this incident is just too severe, no one can help me with th...is..." but, I was wrong. If you're going through a DUI, you know the anxiety and fear that accompany such a charge--attorney Higgins put me completely at ease, and once he learned the details of my case, he immediately told me what we could do to gain a favorable outcome--and he DELIVERED. As long as I do my part, I will walk out of this WITHOUT A CONVICTION, a clean record, and a major lesson learned. I am still in awe of what he has done for me. Attorney Higgins is so incredibly well versed in criminal defense and DUI law--from the moment we connected, I was confident in his abilities and knew I would be okay. Joe is a consummate professional, well spoken, and quick to respond to all calls and texts. He has forged good relationships with courts in all districts, and I'm convinced it's because of who he is, how he handles himself, and how he represents his clients that garnered me such an incredible outcome. The staff in his office are equally as pleasant and professional--all around, he made one of the more difficult times in my life much, much easier, and because of him, I will be able to move on from this and do things right. Attorney Higgins will keep you informed, he will be honest, and he will absolutely fight to make sure you get your best case scenario. He is the best of the best, and you'd be doing yourself a favor by working with him.

Best of the best

Don't ever think you'll get an OUI? It happens more than you think. In my case, I cleaned up after my staff and placed the open beer bottles in my car. I know... that was genius. Found myself in a state of panic and experienced a difficult time during this debacle. I was referred to Attorney Higgins ...and while I was worried about everything that can possible go wrong, Joe remained cool as a fan. Explained the entire process and gave me relief of knowing I made a good decision hiring him to represent me in this matter. Long story short, when it was time for trial, Joe is a presence in the courtroom. He'll even whispers in your ear to remind you to sit up straight in your chair. When representing you, Joe knows how to articulate what needs to be said, highlighting important details that will make the judge or jury think. NOT GUILTY was the verdict. So happy that this is behind me now. Thank you Joe for everything!

Excellent Experience

Not having been in any type of situation such as this I hit the internet and found Joe’s website. Based off of all the outstanding reviews I figured he was the place to start. I reached him through his online chat and got an immediate personal response followed by a direct phone call from Joe himsel...f…all on a weekend! He is a no-nonsense guy, gets straight to the point, explains all that is happening so a layman can understand, and set me at ease about the situation. From start to finish, Joe kept me informed of all the details surrounding my case and in short order was able to have the case dismissed without even appearing in court! I would highly recommend Joe for any DUI/OUI case.
