Very Grateful for Attorney Joseph Higgins

I would highly recommend attorney Higgins for any matter relating to DUI. He almost always answers his cell phone himself (and if he can't he'll text and/or call right back) and keeps in constant contact, sharing his experience and expertise and providing calm during a very stressful time. He is ar...ticulate and very professional and the result he achieved for us was excellent, to put it mildly.

Not Guilty OUI

Attorney Joseph Higgins did an amazing job representing me and getting a Not Guilty verdict for my OUI case. After my arrest, I was extremely stressed and was constantly worrying about my future. After my first conversation with Joe, those fears dissipated as it was clear to me that he truly cares ab...out his clients and ensuring that they get the BEST possible outcome for them. In my various conversations leading up to the trial date, Joe carefully deconstructed my police report and explained each detail with me to help me understand the case and each possible outcome that could happen. As my attorney he was attentive and did everything in his power to move the case along. In fact, Joe was able to secure the earliest available court date for me. In the courtroom, Joe instilled a sense of confidence and reassurance as we took our case to a bench trial. During the trial, Joe was extremely well spoken and showed great poise and controlled the courtroom. I would recommend Joe to anyone as he has tremendous knowledge of OUI law but more importantly he cares about his clients above all else.

second offense OUI/ Breathalyzer Refusal

As I sit here NOT GUILTY, a week after my trial date with my attorney Joe Higgins.. I can't help but think back to the past year of my life. When I was arrested back in May of 2016 for a second offense OUI, I thought my life was over. As a single mom of 1, I was devastated. I called 10+ lawyers until... I came across attorney Higgins. He called me back within 5 minutes of submitting a question on his website. He was so professional, helpful and asked so many questions, but the best part was ... He managed to restore the hope in me. He went over many options and assured me everything would be okay, and that there was still hope. That's when I knew he was the lawyer for me. He represented my appeal at the RMV and was there any time I called or texted , with answers right away to anything.. Even the dumbest questions I had to ask lol. We took my case to trial and Joe represented me. He was so professional , and the scary Part... NICE! He knew the laws and paid attention to every detail, every word that was said and did what he does best.. WE WON THE CASE! I can't begin to explain the feeling of relief that day.. The feeling of freedom and like I could finally breathe again, and move on with my life. The sad part for me was that I felt there was nothing I could do to thank Joe enough. He took a huge part of my life that was misery and made me feel whole again. Joe, you are the absolute BEST, and because of you, I have my life back. THANK YOU ATTORNEY JOE HIGGINS!

Board of appeals success

My license was suspended by the registry of motor vehicles for 10 years, I felt like I was never going to be able to drive again. After a long process of being taken advantage of by other attorneys finally I met with Joseph Higgans. We created a plan to go in front of the board of appeals and fight t...o modify the decision of the registry. It took some time but we were more than prepared to present the evidence/information we gathered for the board. When the day came we did exactly as we planned, the board sided with us and issued me a full license. I was without a license for just over a year, much better than 10! Joseph was so professional, honest and intelligent about his practice. He really cared for me and did everything he could to make this happen. I can't thank Joseph Higgans enough, he truly is a lifesaver. I will forever refer Joseph Higgans to anyone that needs help in a unfortunate situation. Thanks again Joe!
