About Law Offices of Milligan & Higgins

Over a decade of 100% OUI Defense. Protect Your DWI OUI DUI Rights. Save Your Drivers License and Put This Experience Behind You.

Practices 100% DUI Defense

You can’t win unless you have an attorney that knows what they are doing. Attorney Higgins devotes his entire practice to OUI/DUI Defense. There are a lot of criminal defense attorneys out there that will take on an OUI/DUI case, but there are only a few that have committed themselves exclusively to defending OUIs/DUIs. Attorney Higgins has represented clients charged with OUI/DUI in over 60 courts in Massachusetts. He is committed to this specialized area of criminal defense.

A Proven Record Of Success

Attorney Higgins has been recognized by both SuperLawyers Magazine and Boston Magazine as a “Rising Star” in the field of Drunk Driving Defense---a distinction reserved for only 2.5 percent of attorneys across the state. He has also been named a “Superb” DUI Attorney by Avvo, having received a 10.0 Avvo Rating. His knowledge of Massachusetts DUI/DWI law, coupled with his abilities at trial have resulted many “Not Guilty” verdicts or case dismissals all across Massachusetts.

Handles Licensing Issues

Attorney Higgins not only defends charges of OUI/DUI, he also assists his clients in dealing with the RMV when it comes to OUI/DUI-related Driver’s License suspensions. He appears at the Driver Control Unit of the RMV at least once a week and is prepared to handle any licensing issue.

Former Assistant District Attorney

Your case is going to be prosecuted by an Assistant District Attorney. As a former Assistant District Attorney himself, Attorney Higgins knows how the prosecution plans on attacking your case, what strategies they are going to employ, and most importantly, the weaknesses in the case they have against you. Attorney Higgins’ experience in both prosecuting and defending OUI cases gives you an advantage at trial.

24/7 Live Help

We’re accessible. The nature of our business does not allow for a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday schedule. If you find yourself in a pinch or simply have a question after normal business hours, we can be reached and we will help you.

We Can Come To You

Most OUI/DUI arrests in Massachusetts result in some form of a driver’s license suspension---due to either a Breath Test result of .08 or above, or a refusal to take the Breath Test. Attorney Higgins understands that not having a driver’s license makes life difficult. Accordingly, he is willing to come and meet you at a convenient location. Often times, Attorney Higgins will meet with his clients over the weekend. A successful defense demands that commitment.

Joe was amazingly professional and the perfect advocate. He is extremely knowledgable and put my mind at ease walking me through the process every step of the way. He would respond to questions in a timely manner and I would recommend him to anyone. Truly the best there is!

Not having been in any type of situation such as this I hit the internet and found Joe’s website. Based off of all the outstanding reviews I figured he was the place to start. I reached him through his online chat and got an immediate personal response followed by a direct phone call from Joe himself…all on a weekend! He is a no-nonsense guy, gets straight to the point, explains all that is happening so a layman can understand, and set me at ease about the situation. From start to finish, Joe kept me informed of all the details surrounding the case and in short order was able to have the case dismissed without even appearing in court! I would highly recommend Joe for any DUI/OUI case.

Attorney Joe Higgins represented me for an OUI charge and I would highly recommend him for his expertise and effectiveness in this area. I didn’t think I would be able to do anything but accept a plea bargain, but Joe saw issues and advised fighting the charges. He was right. Joe won motions to suppress statements I made as well as the breathalyzer test. This led the prosecutors to dismiss the case. What a relief. From the initial consultation to the final court appearance, Joe was remarkably communicative, calmly confident and very professional. I am so thankful I contacted Joe after my charges and recommend him without hesitation.
