Outstanding Representation A+++

It being my 3rd. OUI, a guilty finding would land me a minimum of 6 months in jail as well as no longer being able to practice within my profession. Joe was honest about the risks, highly professional throughout this entire legal process,highly responsive to my questions and concerns, compassionate, ...and used his stellar knowledge of the law to convince the jury that there was reasonable doubt in my case. He did an excellent job at every legal step of the way. This resulted in a not-guilty finding. He also put the necessary legal steps in place for me to get my driver's license back through the RMV. Joe was worth every penny! He did a stellar job! If your life is on the line and you want the very best representation possible -Hire Joe! He is the real deal.

Great Lawyer

Joseph Higgins did an excellent job in my defense. I had never even been inside a courtroom before the accusation, but Joe was very helpful in walking me through the trial process. He was polite, professional, and very persuasive. I definitely recommend him for anyone who finds themselves in such unf...ortunate circumstances.

OUI Defense

Attorney Higgins is a true professional when it comes to representing someone in need of a OUI/Defense lawyer. It took almost two years and numerous court appearances before I was found not guilty. Attorney Higgins’s experience and knowledge helped me win my case. I can say from a past OUI experience... it is not pleasant. Attorney Joseph Higgins would be the person I would hire if I was looking for a OUI/defenses lawyer for the first time offense or repeat offense.

Knowledgeable and skilled OUI lawyer

About a year and a half ago I was arrested for a suspicioun of an OUI and leaving the scene of an accident. Not knowing much about these circumstances I reached out to a couple different lawyers. I came across Joe Higgins and he was the only lawyer who was able to make me feel at ease when speaking t...o him about my case. All the other lawyers essentially made me feel like there was no point in fighting this. However, Joe immediately offered to take on my case. He was profesional but easy to talk to. He thoroughly went over my case and was able to find many gaps in the investigation conducted by the police. He made several court appearances with me and always had my best interest. It is extremely overwhelming and intimidating dealing with court related things but he helped me through it all. He is extremely skilled in what he does and is very knowledgeable about the law. He was really good with his questioning and arguments at all court appearances. It was because of this he was able to win my case resulting in four “not guilty” verdicts. For a case that seemed impossible to beat, Joe was able to do it. I recommend Joe for anyone who feels like there is no hope. He will work endlessly and fight for your case.

OUI Drug Charge With Minor Present

I found Joe after a thorough research for an attorney. I was charged with multiple charges, the most significant being child endangerment. I’m a licensed teacher and this was my first offense, so it was imperative that my lawyer be competent with my case. Attorney Higgins demonstrated an extensive kn...owledge of the law and was very clear from the beginning about what he expected both worst case and best case scenario. He provided guidance throughout the process and was always available when I reached out. Ultimately Attorney Higgins was able to get all EIGHT charges dismissed (some with probation) and at an affordable price considering my financial future was at stake. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney.
