Best DUI attorney in the south shore

I highly recommend Joe Higgins if you are in need of DUI defense. From the first meeting all the way to the dismissal of the case, his communication, professionalism, and skill were second to none. He was very responsive through out the whole process and made sure to explain every step of the proces...s as it was happening. A DUI is a stressful situation in any one’s life, do yourself a favor and hire Joe to take some of that stress away! He was able to get my case dismissed and he made the path to the dismissal much less stressful

Second OUI

I was very lucky to have chosen Attorney Higgins to represent me when I was charged with a 2nd OUI which was a devastating event for me. He was extremely professional during the entire process and very helpful. His true brilliance was reflected in how he conducted himself in the trial, he was spectac...ular. His knowledge of his subject, his intelligent cross examination of the police officer and ability to point out to the inadequacies of the evidence presented against me was what led me to get a verdict of not guilty. He truly is the best at what he does. I highly recommend him for anyone who has been charge with an OUI. He has made a big difference in my life.

The Best There Is

Hiring Joe was the best decision I have ever made. I unfortunately was facing a 3rd offense and was looking at mandatory jail time. My case dragged on for almost 2 years and throughout the entire process Joe was always responsive with any questions I had and each time we had to go to court Joe was pr...epared and made me feel assured. When the trial day finally came, I went with Joe’s advice, and we went with a Jury Waived trial. Through cross examination of the officer Joe was able to poke holes in the officer’s police report and prove to the judge the number of things I did right in the field sobriety test. Joe was able to quickly prove that the case did not rise to the burden of proof the State needed. We were able to obtain a Not Guilty Verdict on all counts and won the motion with the judge to reinstate my license. If you are ever in an unfortune situation like this, do not look any further, Joe is the person to hire.

Expert advice and representation

Atty. Higgins was very knowledgeable in my complex case and was able to take the time to explain in simple terms what the options were. Although difficult, he was able to successfully resolve the matter in an expedient time frame. Anyone who is skillful in their own profession can recognize the sam...e in others practicing theirs.
