Tough case

About a year and a half ago my life drastically changed. If you are reading this right now, you probably don’t feel good about yourself. I know the feeling. I read Joes reviews and felt some ease throughout that I had chosen a bright attorney. This all started with a first offense OUI that involved a...n accident. The turn of events that led me to drive that day makes me think this was all meant to be. I purchased my first home, and the movers bailed. On my way to moving in, I rear ended a family on the way. I then spent my first night as a homeowner in a jail cell. It was around this time that I researched and hired Joe Higgins. He immediately put me at ease with his knowledge of these situations, and his eager professionalism. I began to take actions to address the bigger issue of alcoholism. my alcoholic self really did not want to go out without a fight. So, naturally with one case pending, I thought it wise to get an additional OUI, but this time, let’s add on the fact that I was driving with a suspended license. I know had 2 mugshots in a 6 month period and was facing serious jail time and years long license suspension. Under The advisement of many, including, Joe, I got into treatment. As time went on we attended several hearings where the prosecutors weren’t ready, or to ultimately set trial dates. Joe, or his associate, were always on time, professional, and well prepared for these appearances. When we finally went to trial for the second OUI I was impressed with Joe’s savvy. He asked questions I would never even think to ask, and ultimately made the prosecutors case look so weak that the trial was pretty much over before it started. NOT guilty! After the positive outcome our attention shifted to the first oui. Joe was prepared for trial and again was able to cast so much reasonable doubt over the prosecutors case that again we achieve ANOTHER NOT Guilty verdict. Needless to say the sense of relief since has been incredible. Currently, I’m working to have my license fully returned. Basically, since hiring Joe Higgins, not only am I square with a roof again, a serious and years long drinking problem that would have ultimately killed me was also addressed in the process. I owe a lot of that to Joseph Higgins. I know when feeling the fear/guilt/anxiety/shock I felt, reading reviews like this helped me tremendously, I hope they do for you as well. Hire Joseph Higgins with confidence!

Life Saver

Wow, I am impressed. I can't begin to say how thankful I am for finding and choosing Joe to represent my case. He was there with me from the beginning to help me with the issues from the RMV, all the way to a trial. In the end he represented me in trial to achieve the desired not guilty verdict. ...Joe is THE lawyer to represent your OUI case.

Simply the Best

Joe is just simply the best choice for your legal needs, he specializes in everything dui/oui defense. From appealing decisions at the RMV to battling in the courtroom (which I am still in awe of his skill) Joe is a definite choice. He got me through a very rough situation in my life, I assure you.... he will do everything in his power to get you out of yours.

A+ DUI Defense Lawyer

Joe was amazing throughout the entire process. His extensive knowledge helped in answering any question I had. Joe's availability was always second to none and he treated me with the utmost respect. On top of it all, he was able to get a positive outcome for me. I would recommend Joe in a second to... anyone that was in my position.

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.
