Professional and Effective

Attorney Higgins is extremely professional and it's evident that he is very well-versed in the law. Mr. Higgins made sure I knew what to expect for the entirety of my legal proceedings. His actions both in and out of the courtroom speak highly of his character. I never feard for an unfavorable outcom...e in my case.

Great lawyer

I called Joseph Higgins right after I was released from jail for OUI and he took my case and was worth every penny from the start. Joe was assuring, very professional and understanding through out the whole process and he really knows what he is doing. I would recommend him to anyone needing help wit...h a DUI/OUI.

recent court appearsnce

I recently had an unfortunate experience that required my seeking out an attorney. I was not acquainted with 1, and had the incredible luck of locating Joe Higgins. I contacted him, and he took over from there. He was very reassuring throughout the pre-court process, extremely cordial and professiona...l, and reachable. However, that was nothing compared to his representation for me at the court. He was tremendous. Following the police officer's statements, Joe was articulate, knowledgeable, yet forceful in my defense. The court agreed with his statements, and found in my favor. I thank my lucky stars I found Joe to represent me!

Tough case

About a year and a half ago my life drastically changed. If you are reading this right now, you probably don’t feel good about yourself. I know the feeling. I read Joes reviews and felt some ease throughout that I had chosen a bright attorney. This all started with a first offense OUI that involved a...n accident. The turn of events that led me to drive that day makes me think this was all meant to be. I purchased my first home, and the movers bailed. On my way to moving in, I rear ended a family on the way. I then spent my first night as a homeowner in a jail cell. It was around this time that I researched and hired Joe Higgins. He immediately put me at ease with his knowledge of these situations, and his eager professionalism. I began to take actions to address the bigger issue of alcoholism. my alcoholic self really did not want to go out without a fight. So, naturally with one case pending, I thought it wise to get an additional OUI, but this time, let’s add on the fact that I was driving with a suspended license. I know had 2 mugshots in a 6 month period and was facing serious jail time and years long license suspension. Under The advisement of many, including, Joe, I got into treatment. As time went on we attended several hearings where the prosecutors weren’t ready, or to ultimately set trial dates. Joe, or his associate, were always on time, professional, and well prepared for these appearances. When we finally went to trial for the second OUI I was impressed with Joe’s savvy. He asked questions I would never even think to ask, and ultimately made the prosecutors case look so weak that the trial was pretty much over before it started. NOT guilty! After the positive outcome our attention shifted to the first oui. Joe was prepared for trial and again was able to cast so much reasonable doubt over the prosecutors case that again we achieve ANOTHER NOT Guilty verdict. Needless to say the sense of relief since has been incredible. Currently, I’m working to have my license fully returned. Basically, since hiring Joe Higgins, not only am I square with a roof again, a serious and years long drinking problem that would have ultimately killed me was also addressed in the process. I owe a lot of that to Joseph Higgins. I know when feeling the fear/guilt/anxiety/shock I felt, reading reviews like this helped me tremendously, I hope they do for you as well. Hire Joseph Higgins with confidence!
