Highly recommend Joe Higgins

I retained attorney Joe Higgins when I was arrested by a Massachusetts State Trooper for suspicion of being under the influence of alcohol on a public motorway in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Joe investigated the facts surrounding my case and concluded that the Troopers allegations surrounding... how he came to the conclusion I was under the influence, was very weak. Joe determined that the Troopers assertions were incomplete and very well could have been founded in unfair bias and observational technique. Joe walked me through the process every step of the way which ended up in a trial by Jury, and an acquittal. I saw Joe in action and believe he has great judgement in criminal OUI defense cases. Joe was very professional and consulted with me on major decisions on the pre-trial defense, and even in court. At all times I deferred to Joe's judgement, because he is the professional and I had that much confidence in him. Highly recommend Joseph John Higgins 3 for OUI defense lawyer.

A great outcome. Worth every penny.

Attorney Higgins represented me, and I received a better result than I could ever have hoped for. It's certainly a financial investment, but in the end was more than worth it for me.

Absolute winner!

To anyone who is in a duo case, Attorney Higgins was exceptional, he was attentive and we'll spoken. I had lost all hope in my case untill I hired Joseph. He got my breath test excluded and won my case. He was with me every step of the way and answered every call/text/email I ever had for him promp...tly. He is a must hire in the state of mass for dui and criminal cases. Please give him a call if you need a great lawyer. Thanks for listening and thanks to Attorney Higgins for all the hard work and dedication sir! GREATFULLY Stephen S

The Best!

Joe is the best! He was always accessible and took the time to listen to my case and come up with a plan to resolve it, which ended in my case being dismissed. Throughout the entire process he kept me up to date and gave me advice on what to expect each court date. He is extremely knowledgeable and ...will fight hard for you. I would recommend him to anyone in need of an OUI attorney in a heartbeat.

Excellent Lawyer

I was charged with an OUI after my truck spun out and crashed into a curb. Since there was no property damage other than my truck, I drove away and my truck ended up breaking down on the side of the highway. State police showed up moments after and they instantly preformed sobriety tests in which the...y said I failed. They then asked me to take a breathalyzer which I refused, resulting in my arrest. I was under 21, so this was an automatic 3 year suspension. I knew I needed a good lawyer, and I was referred to meet with Joe Higgins. Right away, I could sense his confidence and he was really easy to talk with. He was available 24/7, whenever I called or messaged him he answered almost immediately with whatever questions I had. When my case went to trial, he suggested for me to go in front of a 7 person jury because he felt that was the best move and I trusted him. In court he questioned the State Trooper that arrested me. He was so efficient. Joe was very smooth with his words and knew exactly what to question. Resulting in the jury finding me not guilty. I am very thankful to have hired Joe Higgins.
