This man. Holy cow!

I was charged with negligent operation of a motor vehicle, speeding, marked lanes violation... I totalled my car and another person's car and caused 15k worth of property damage. I had a probable cause hearing and Joe pulled a miracle. The out come I got wasnt even something I entertained the thought... of. His professionalism is insane. Joe Is an amazing attorney and very knowledgeable. He always answers calls and his paralegals are on par with him! He doesn't sugar coat, and he's honest. Definitely recommending him to friends. He was recommended to me by word of mouth, I hope others read this and let his team take care of them. Worth every single dime. THANK YOU JOE AND TEAM!

Great DUI Lawyer!

Attorney Joe Higgins did an excellent job with my case. Joe carefully explained all the options I had, to ensure we were moving forward in the best possible fashion. I work a 9 to 5 job, which often made it difficult to meet with him during the week. Joe made himself available around my schedule, ...to reduce the impact of this unfortunate incident on the rest of my life. Also, Joe attacked my case from many different angles, which I felt gave me multiple ways which the case could be dismissed or won. In the end, Joe worked to ensure my OUI was dismissed, bringing an end to the case in the best possible fashion. Joe, and his team, will work tirelessly to get the best possible outcome for their clients, and I highly recommend him.

He is truly the BEST!!

The service and representation that I received from Attorney Joseph Higgins was absolutely outstanding. I was going through a very tough period of my life as a result of an OUI charge against me. I never had any problems with the law and I can honestly say that I was scared of how such a serious ch...arge would affect my life. I didn’t know what to do, what to expect, how long I would have to go through the process and what would happen to me if I was found guilty of the charge against me. I began to do research online and found several Ads for OUI Attorneys including Attorney Higgins’ Ad. Joe’s website was very well organized and provided me with a lot of valuable information. I was very desperate and eager to speak to someone about the details of my case to get a better idea of where I stood. Therefore, I decided to call the number on the Ad right away and left a message with my contact information. Since it was a Saturday morning, I really didn’t think I was going to be able to speak to anyone until at least Monday. However I was very wrong, to my surprise Attorney Higgins called me right back within a couple of minutes. I explained to him what happened and he asked me several follow up questions. He said that he could help and explained to me the next steps that I should take. At that point I felt some relief by having some of my questions answered and knowing that I could have someone with a lot of experience dealing with these cases on my side. From the very beginning up to the very end of my case, Joe was very professional, approachable and guided me every step of the way. He understood how I felt and made sure he always answered any of my questions. I can honestly say that Joe is very trustworthy because he was very honest on everything he explained. I definitely trusted him completely and felt very comfortable from the start that he knew exactly what he was doing. For this reason, every advice he provided me with, I took it without hesitation all the way up to the trial. During the trial, he was very detailed, well prepared and aggressive but in an extremely professional and courteous way to all involved. I was very nervous but I felt good that I had such a great attorney on my side doing everything he could to defend me and prove my innocence. Fortunately, I was found innocent of all charges associated with the OUI. I am glad that I chose Attorney Joe Higgins to represent me and I definitely recommend him to anyone that may need a great OUI defense attorney. This type of defense is clearly his specialty and it showed from day 1. Every penny spent for his services is worth it because he truly is an outstanding attorney. I told him at the conclusion of my trial, “I hope I will never see you again, that is under these circumstances”. However, if I or anyone I know ever have to face an OUI charge, I will definitely be calling Attorney Joseph Higgins in a heartbeat and without hesitation.

Great Experience!

I am thrilled to be able to have the opportunity to write a review on behalf of Attorney Joseph Higgins. I called Joe on a Sunday after I had an incident the evening before. He was so very responsive, calmly and thoroughly walked me through what our next steps would be and scheduled to meet with me... immediately. I knew right after speaking with him that he would be my Attorney. My case was a tough one and what I thought to be almost hopeless. I was thinking that I would receive the worst outcome possible. But, Attorney Higgins developed a strategy for me through the year that was so right on target that I ended up receiving the absolute best outcome I could have possibly gotten. I had an extremely high BAC that evening, but with Attorney Higgins' strategy, I ended up with only a 45 day license loss. The way my case was structured (there were other components to it), it could have easily been a year license loss. Attorney Higgins' had every move planned out through the year with a specific goal in mind for me - and we got it! Joe has such a great mix of being so highly skilled and knowledgeable about the law, and at the same time, I felt like he also genuinely cared about me, my family, and my future. I can't thank him enough and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a very responsive, accessible, dependable and highly knowledgeable Attorney. Thank you so much, Joe!

Greatly appreciated

Joseph Higgins Is very upfront and straight to the point. He was comstantly by my side and if he was not he made sure we had constant contact. I was amazed at how smooth the trial went and felt Mr. Higgins knew my case inside and out. Never did I doubt my decision for Joseph Higgins to represen...t me and I fully give my recommendation.
