Posted by H.M. | November 29, 2017 | Hired Attorney

I consider myself fortunate to have found Attorney Higgins.

I have always been skeptical of the validity of online reviews, and was nervous to hire an out of state attorney without meeting him first. I contacted Joe via email and he returned my call promptly the next morning, as he happened to be on his way to the very court where I had an outstanding warrant... (I had an open 5 year old DUI case). During our initial conversation I could tell that Joe was both knowledgeable and passionate about his area of expertise. During the six months that we worked together he was able to get my warrant lifted without me being present, which was a huge help not being able to drive, and living out of state... and at my second court hearing I ended up with my case dismissed and nothing on my driving record. I enjoyed working with Joe and most of all appreciated his confidence and positive attitude, which help immensely with my stress level in this situation. I have to say that my only regret is that I did not have the opportunity to see him during a trial... I'm sure he would have been amazing.

Fights diligently. Retunes phone calls properly.

Attorney Higgin's always returned my phone call promply, and took the time to answer my inquiries in detail. He fought long and hard to beat my DUI charge. He had the knolage and experience to know I had a winnable case, and did not urge me to accept a plea to dispose of my case quickly. If you are l...ooking for a lawyer to represents you on a DUI or DWI chare I highly recommend hiring AttorneyJoseph John Higgins III.

Joseph Higgins-Great lawyer

Over New Years I was pulled over and taken in for 1st offense DUI. After reviewing my situation with another lawyer friend he advised me to go to court and hire Joe. Joe was excellent to work with. He sat down and walked me through the whole process which I was very unfamiliar with. He's very adept ...at what he does and due to my case and his skill we won in court. Another thing I found very helpful was despite his busy schedule he was always easy to reach and talk to when I had questions. I cant thank him enough for all he did for me

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!
