Representation Jan. 2017

Joe represented me at a magistrate's hearing in January 2017. Joe was thoroughly prepared, helpful, and professional prior to and throughout the proceeding. I am quite grateful for his services which ended in a positive outcome.

OUI Defense

Attorney Joseph Higgins was professional, knowledgeable, and strategic in my OUI defense. He thoroughly acquired the facts in the case and was brilliant in making decisions throughout the process. There were quick and strategic decisions he made on his feet during the trial that demonstrated his ab...ility and skills to navigate the case for the most successful and favorable outcome. He was a pleasure to work with not just on a professional level but also in a personal way. I believe he has a gift of encouragement but one that is smartly tempered with facts and honest assessment. In the court room, Joe was not just tough and smart but was like-able and it was clear he made positive connections with court staff and the jurors. In fact, I was approached by some jurors after trial completion asking where we found our attorney! Joe was great! It was a pleasure to work with Joe and I highly recommend him and am forever grateful he fought for me!

Excellent OUI attorney!

Joe is very professional and knowledgeable about the OUI laws. He won my cases and kept me in the loop during the entire process. I would highly recommend Joe if you need a great OUI attorney.

Outstanding Professionalism

Recently my son was arrested after being involved in a motor vehicle accident in Massachusetts. He was charged with a combination of criminal complaints and several motor vehicle violations. The most serious offense was OUI (drugs). Based on the fact that a guilty finding for OUI (drugs) would pot...entially change my son's future forever, I knew I wanted the best possible criminal defense attorney specializing in DWI/OUI cases. Having worked in the criminal justice field for over 25 years, most of those years in Massachusetts, I immediately contacted Attorney Joe Higgins of Norwell. I had personally witnessed Attorney Higgins' professionalism and court room presence and I believed he was the most capable attorney specializing in OUI (drugs) charges. Attorney Higgins succeeded in getting all of the criminal charges dismissed, including the OUI (drugs). Additionally, Attorney Higgins accompanied my son to the RMV and his Massachusetts Driver's License was reinstated less than ten days following the trial date.

Amazing!!!!

I want to thank my Criminal Law attorney, Joseph John Higgins III's for representing me over the last several months. This has been the worst time of my life, with being charged with my second OUI charge at a very young age I was very beat for a long time. It was difficult to think about all the nega...tive consequences that came with this charge.I truly felt victimized by the false charges, accusations, and lies. Having Mr. Higgin's representation brought a tremendous feeling of peace. His positive attitude and wise council, relieved me of a great deal of anxiety. Joe Higgins is not only professional but very understanding as well. He knew what he was talking about and discussing when it came to Criminal Defense with a focus on Operating Under the Influence of Alcohol cases and RMV matters. I now feel confident that I can get on with my life. It gives peace of mind to know that you are there if this matter ever rears its head again. Thank you.
