Made the impossible, possible!

I have been speaking with Joe for over 3 years regarding my suspension. I am a young guy and got 3 dui's very close together. However two weeks ago Joe and I appeared before the Board of Appeals and my ruling was modified and I am now allowed to get a Hardship license. The RMV said it wouldn't happen... until 2021 when i applied for my regular license to be re instated well its 2015 and i am in the process of reinstating a hardship license now. Not only did Joe diligently put together a great case on my behalf. He continues after the hearing to help me navigate through the process of receiving the hardship license. I believe if i did not hire Joe Higgins i would not of had this opportunity. Just a great lawyer and a great guy. Thanks Joe.

Excellent Attorney

Joe I found on the internet. Joe Higgins took time on his personal day off to meet me over 40 miles away. In the world today that is rare. Joe listened to me, gave me his thoughts, and more importantly did not sugar coat anything. He firmly told me the outcomes of the choices we were going to make. T...he one thing that stood out in court today was after a conversation happened between us he recognized immediately, (after me agreeing to it) that I was uncomfortable. This showed me he actually cares about how I was feeling, and the outcome of the trial. He always took my phone calls promptly. I was very fortunate to meet this talented individual. Thanks for giving me my life back Joe. Not Guilty. The best words I have ever heard.

All Charges Dropped

Joe was very professional and personable throughout my experience with him. He took my calls at any hour of the day on his personal phone and was happy to answer any questions I had. Once trial day finally came, he proved he was worth every penny as all charges were dropped. Overall, Joe is a gr...eat guy and an excellent lawyer that I would recommend to anyone in need of DUI defense.

Best DUI Defense Attorney in the State

I was charged with a DUI and hired Attorney Higgins, who was referred to me by a friend. Attorney Higgins was extremely professional and responsive to any and all phone calls. He also made me feel comfortable during this extremely embarrassing and difficult time in my life. Because he was so confi...dent in what he was doing and explained the process thoroughly it made the entire dilemma much easier to deal with. Not to mention we received a "Not Guilty" verdict. I would recommend Attorney Higgins to any and all friends, family etc...He's the best.

A Wonderful Attorney!!

After my son was charged with OUI, I went on the Avvo site to get the name of an attorney to call. One of the first names I came across was Joe Higgins. After reading the reviews on him, I decided to give him a call. He immediately returned my call and within minutes I knew I had found the right ...lawyer to represent my son. Not only was Joe one of the most professional lawyers I had ever dealt with but he also was so compassionate. Joe and I had many phone calls and he took the time to explain all the issues in my son's case and what he felt would be the best possible outcome based on the circumstances surrounding his case. He never promised anything but he certainly delivered!! I can't thank Joe Higgins enough for all that he did. He truly earns a 5 star rating!!! Without a doubt he is the best attorney around and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing a great lawyer!!
