Attorney Higgins helped me through one of the worst times in my life.

I am not accustomed to being in trouble with the law, and when I got my DUI in the summer of 2014, I had to find a Lawyer that's got the best track record and registers high on my professionalism, character and effectiveness meter. Searched the web, made some phone calls and my heart sunk because ev...eryone I spoke to was pretty tepid and wishy-washy and, especially, resigned to sleep walk through my entire legal battle. Joe, on the other hand, was professional, compassionate and was proud of his mastery in his area of law. I am a decent judge of character, and I felt I would get the best effort possible for my situation. Joe made a stressful situation as bearable as possible, communicated effectively for the entire duration, and produced the best possible outcome under the circumstances. I had to pass info and concerns on to Joe now and then and he would respond within an hour, if not minutes, to calls, texts and emails, even in the evening and weekends. He had my back all the way, and in this age of dog eat dog every man for himself, I was impressed with the level of Joe's compassion. I also met another Attorney helping me with a preliminary hearing, that Joe cooperates with, and I was a basket case and this Attorney was simply a compassionate guardian angel, so this is another endorsement for Joe's standards of professionalism.

HIGHLY Recommended

Joe did an excellent job with my DWI case from start to finish. My arrest was out of state so most of the procedure was handled by another attorney, but Joe kept in touch with me during the entire process, even when there was little he could do (due to the other state holding things up). When he was ...able to get involved directly, he got me in and out in a very timely manner. His communication FAR exceeded my expectations and gave me comfort when situations were out of my control. He was extremely knowledgeable about my case and the firm's fees were very fair. I highly recommend Attorney Higgins for anyone in a similar situation.

Not Guilty!

Today I wrapped up my case with Attorney Higgins and I can't thank him enough. From the moment I first spoke to Mr. Higgins, he immediately made me feel comfortable about this whole ordeal. He took the time to explain both the good and bad, but assured me he would do all he could to reach a positi...ve outcome, and he did. He is a true master of his profession and I would recommend him to anybody. Thanks again Attorney Higgins!

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.

Amazing lawyer!

The first time i met Mr. Higgins was in court, I was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge while on a continuance without a finding charge out of a different court. I thought for sure my life was over and i would be going to jail for this ridiculous arrest. Nevertheless Mr. Higgins advised me tha...t he would get the case dismissed on arraignment. And without a doubt that is exactly what he accomplished. Mr. Higgins is a stand up gentleman which knows the system extremely well. He is young man with drive and admiration without his counsel i am not sure i would have gotten the outcome he had provided. I give my highest recommendation with out any hesitation to this man. I have worked with lawyers in the past that seem to just want your money, Mr. Higgins is not like that at all, he truly just enjoys helping people. With that said it would be in your best interest to give this man a call for any condition. 5 stars!
