Fights diligently. Retunes phone calls properly.

Attorney Higgin's always returned my phone call promply, and took the time to answer my inquiries in detail. He fought long and hard to beat my DUI charge. He had the knolage and experience to know I had a winnable case, and did not urge me to accept a plea to dispose of my case quickly. If you are l...ooking for a lawyer to represents you on a DUI or DWI chare I highly recommend hiring AttorneyJoseph John Higgins III.

second offense OUI/ Breathalyzer Refusal

As I sit here NOT GUILTY, a week after my trial date with my attorney Joe Higgins.. I can't help but think back to the past year of my life. When I was arrested back in May of 2016 for a second offense OUI, I thought my life was over. As a single mom of 1, I was devastated. I called 10+ lawyers until... I came across attorney Higgins. He called me back within 5 minutes of submitting a question on his website. He was so professional, helpful and asked so many questions, but the best part was ... He managed to restore the hope in me. He went over many options and assured me everything would be okay, and that there was still hope. That's when I knew he was the lawyer for me. He represented my appeal at the RMV and was there any time I called or texted , with answers right away to anything.. Even the dumbest questions I had to ask lol. We took my case to trial and Joe represented me. He was so professional , and the scary Part... NICE! He knew the laws and paid attention to every detail, every word that was said and did what he does best.. WE WON THE CASE! I can't begin to explain the feeling of relief that day.. The feeling of freedom and like I could finally breathe again, and move on with my life. The sad part for me was that I felt there was nothing I could do to thank Joe enough. He took a huge part of my life that was misery and made me feel whole again. Joe, you are the absolute BEST, and because of you, I have my life back. THANK YOU ATTORNEY JOE HIGGINS!

The Best!

Joe is the best! He was always accessible and took the time to listen to my case and come up with a plan to resolve it, which ended in my case being dismissed. Throughout the entire process he kept me up to date and gave me advice on what to expect each court date. He is extremely knowledgeable and ...will fight hard for you. I would recommend him to anyone in need of an OUI attorney in a heartbeat.

Board of appeals success

My license was suspended by the registry of motor vehicles for 10 years, I felt like I was never going to be able to drive again. After a long process of being taken advantage of by other attorneys finally I met with Joseph Higgans. We created a plan to go in front of the board of appeals and fight t...o modify the decision of the registry. It took some time but we were more than prepared to present the evidence/information we gathered for the board. When the day came we did exactly as we planned, the board sided with us and issued me a full license. I was without a license for just over a year, much better than 10! Joseph was so professional, honest and intelligent about his practice. He really cared for me and did everything he could to make this happen. I can't thank Joseph Higgans enough, he truly is a lifesaver. I will forever refer Joseph Higgans to anyone that needs help in a unfortunate situation. Thanks again Joe!

OUI Defense

Attorney Joseph Higgins was professional, knowledgeable, and strategic in my OUI defense. He thoroughly acquired the facts in the case and was brilliant in making decisions throughout the process. There were quick and strategic decisions he made on his feet during the trial that demonstrated his ab...ility and skills to navigate the case for the most successful and favorable outcome. He was a pleasure to work with not just on a professional level but also in a personal way. I believe he has a gift of encouragement but one that is smartly tempered with facts and honest assessment. In the court room, Joe was not just tough and smart but was like-able and it was clear he made positive connections with court staff and the jurors. In fact, I was approached by some jurors after trial completion asking where we found our attorney! Joe was great! It was a pleasure to work with Joe and I highly recommend him and am forever grateful he fought for me!
