Outstanding Lawyer

In January, I was charged with an OUI after being Out with my boss and co-workers and lost control And totaled my car when trying to avoid a collision With an oncoming vehicle. No other vehicles were Involved but I sustained injuries. I have 2 other OUIs. One was 24 and one was 18 years ago in o...ther states. Mr. Milligan and Mr. Higgins were able to negotiate a very Very favorable outcome and get charges reduced substantially. They responded to all my questions ANGST and represented Me in court in the best way possible. They are both very professional, Very thorough and know the law. I would recommend them To anyone needing a DUI/OUI attorney.

Great Job and Thank You!

I contacted Joe with a very difficult case. Its been 9 months running and today is the day that I got an innocent verdict.It was NOT an easy case and had I not been represented by someone who was as well versed with the ins and outs of the system I probably wouldn't be celebrating right now. His i...mpressive questioning, articulation and bilateral law experience in both prosecution and defense are what I believe got us the verdict I was hoping for, His cool, calm demeanor coupled with perfectly thought out lines of questioning and arguments were a sight to behold. It's been 9 months of worry and stress with a potential future of a lot more stress that has been averted thanks to this man. So 5 stars all the way Thanks so much Joe! PS I wasn't the easiest client and tend to over analyze and bug the heck out of people when I'm worried. He responded to every call and text as fast as he was able to every time. For that alone he had earned 5 stars before our trial even began.

Highly recommended!

When working with Joe, I was well-informed throughout the entire legal process with any and all questions answered fully and knowledgably. During the trial itself he was both skillful and tactful leaving me with the utmost confidence in our success. I would refer Joe Higgins with the absolute highest... regards to any individual in need of representation.

Peerless Representation.

I hired Joe to handle an OUI matter. He handled my case with the utmost candor, empathy, expertise. During my ordeal I was overwhelmed with concerns that he addressed both day and night via phone, email and text. I would recommend Joe without reservation.

Excellent representation from Attorney Joseph Higgins

Attorney Higgins has recently represented me for my second OUI case and I have to say that the experience was better than I could have ever hoped. He knew exactly what I could expect while in the courtroom, he was able to secure a very favorable plea and he offered to assist me with the application f...or a "hardship" license after the fact. He also made himself available to answer any questions I had throughout the time leading up to my court date, which gave me considerable peace of mind. He always either answered his phone or promptly called back if i left a message. I would suggest Joe Higgins without hesitation to anyone that I know that is in need of and OUI lawyer.
