An excellent OUI Attorney

I was recently charged with my 1st OUI offense and driving to endanger. The prospect of dealing with the courts and the RMV seemed daunting. When I initially contacted Joe, he responded promptly, something he would do in all of our subsequent communications. He carefully reviewed the details of my ca...se and clearly informed me of my options and what to expect going forward. He was also able to get one of the charges against me dismissed. I give him my highest recommendation.

Great attorney

I worked with Joe during the midst of the pandemic when I got an OUI. Joe represented me during this process. I highly recommend him as he has a great track record of getting favorable outcomes.

Best In The Business

Joseph "Joe" Higgins is nothing short of a Super Lawyer, a distinction bestowed upon him by The Boston Globe. Unlike other defense attorneys, Joe has made defending citizens who face civil or criminal vehicular violations the focus of his life's work; all to the benefit of his clients. Other a...ttorneys who practice a smorgasbord of legal issues often recommend Joe when the case involves vehicular or other RMV matters. Joe knows the ins-and-outs of the Massachusetts general laws pertaining to vehicular violations and their associated legal procedures. Equally important, he knows how and when to use data, evidence and legal arguments to provide leverage and advantage for his clients. Joe is a straight-shooter and has gained the respect and admiration of hearing officers, clerk magistrates, prosecutors and judges across Massachusetts. Joe is caring, candid, honest and unflappable. He does not make promises that he knows or believes are unattainable, but he works tirelessly and cooperatively with his clients to achieve the greatest possible outcome. Just as importantly, and even as busy as Joe is (i.e., he is in one court or another virtually every day), he is extraordinarily responsive to his clients. If he's unable to answer a call. or fully address an email or a text immediately, he'll send an email or text indicating when he can, and it's always within a reasonable period of time I feel extremely fortunate to have found Joe, that he was willing to represent me, and that together we achieved what other attorneys (and even Joe himself initially) thought to be an unachievable or very unlikely, but true and factual outcome. He's simply the best there is.

RMV Hearing

After a not guilty verdict on an OUI charge, my son needed representation for his hearing for license reinstatement at the RMV. Joe came highly recommended by our criminal attorney and he did not disappoint! The Registry of Motor Vehicles is a whole other level of nonsense and you absolutely need an... attorney to deal with it. Joe is the best!

Terri, thank you for this review. While the RMV tried to be difficult with us at the outset, I am happy that we prevailed in the end. Stay well. - Joe
