A Great, Thorough and Honest Attorney

I felt like I was looking down the barrel of a gun when I got my court magistrate hearing. The police report read like a narrative and I was charged with a 2nd oui and leaving the scene. My first was over ten years ago. Joe was forthright with me and said a plea was best, and the deal I got was more ...than I could of hoped for. He is a calming presence, straightforward, and understands the court systems he works within,. My life may be a lot different right now if I did not choose to hire this attorney,

Wow!

Attorney Higgins really knows the drunk driving laws. Better so than most of the police and prosecutors out there. I thought I was helpless after being charged with a 3rd OUI because of some arrests more than 25 years ago. After the prosecution made me out to be a bad criminal in front of the jury Mr... Higgins only needed 5-10 minutes of cross-examinations and facts to set the record straight. Not Guilty.

The Best Attorney for DUI

My journey with Attorney Higgins lasted almost four years. It was a well deserved journey for it ended with a Not Guilty verdict. I was charged with a second DUI with the first being over 10 years ago. Attorney Higgins is simply the best. Very professional, time conscious, communicates effectively... and clearly. He does not tell you everything will be fine. What he will tell you after thoroughly examining your case is, we have a chance to win and that is all you need. For with legal matters, it can go either way. But one thing you will realize when you hire him is, he will put his very best food forward. You will instantly know he is on your side for the journey, should you choose him. I had the opportunity of watching him in the court room with the confidence he carries, the preparedness and the depth of knowledge about DUI cases in the way he was challenging the police report. He is a master. Please, look no further if you have a DUI case. He is simply the best.

OUI case

As a person from out of state, Mr. Higgins was extremely helpful in helping to navigate an unfortunate event. He not only knew MA state laws and DMV protocol, but was also quick to respond to my correspondence. Joe was able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that I was innocent in an OUI incident.... I am thankful and relieved the situation could be resolved in a timely manner and I can go back to my normal life.

Fantastic Attorney

I met Joe many years ago when he attended Boston College, well before he became an Attorney. He has always been that “All American standup guy” since the first time I met him. Unfortunately, I was in an accident February of 2019 and was charged with an OUI in addition to other offenses. After the pan...demic hit, it took almost three years to get to trial. His professionalism and extreme attention to detail along with his vast knowledge of the law ended in a Not Guilty verdict. Watching him during the trial was truly impressive and I wouldn’t want any other person representing me during this difficult time. He really is a true professional but most importantly he genuinely cares. These traits are invaluable to have and really hard to find in this line of work. I highly recommend Joe if you ever need a dedicated professional Attorney.
