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.

Hired Attorney Joseph Higgins

Attorney Higgins represented me for my 3rd. OUI offense and the stakes could not have been any higher. If I was found guilty, I would serve a minimum of 6 months in jail, find it difficult to impossible to ever practice within my profession again, and my whole life was on the line. The attorney I hired to represent me would in profound way impact my future. Attorney Higgins did an outstanding job representing me every step of the way. He was highly professional, extremely knowledgeable about this area of the law, compassionate, responsive, reliable and took the time to thoroughly explain what was happening each step of the way. He is trustworthy and I took his legal advice to have a bench trial. He won! Not only was I found not guilty but he took the necessary steps for me to get my driver's license back through the RMV. There are a lot of choices out there when your looking for an attorney. The outcome was one in which not any attorney would of been able to secure. He is the Best!!!

Attorney Higgins was very responsive, once I inquired via his website, he personally called to discuss on a Saturday night. He was clear with his communications, set expectations, mastered the cross examination of the arresting officer. He was excellent and would highly recommend him

My case was drawn out for a long 18 months and Mr. Higgins never failed to make me feel like a valued client and not like a customer. He responded to every call or text or email I sent him within hours. He was constantly reassuring me that he would take care of any and all things related to my case. I would recommend Mr. Higgins above all else.

Joe returned my text literally within minutes from the golf course on a Saturday morning. I was impressed with his empathy, knowledge and professionalism and decided to hire him. I work in education so it was very important that my OUI/child endangerment case be handled with the utmost care as my career depended on it. Joe worked for over a year to get me the most favorable outcome possible given the nature of my charges. There is no way I could have acheived this on my own, and at the end of my dispostion the Judge even commented on what an excellent job Joe had done for my case. THANK YOU!!

I am so thankful to have had Attorney Higgins when dealing with my second DUI case. He is extremely knowledgeable and honest about how the system and law work. When the case ultimately went to trial, he was a calming presence. Through his experience and expertise in the court room he was able to deliver a verdict of Not Guilty and a return of my license. I would highly recommend placing your trust in attorney Higgins counsel.

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.

Working with Joe on my case could not have been any easier. Communicating with Joe was seamless. He absolutely did his homework on what the prosecution had and he was able to poke enough holes in their case to get a favorable outcome. I would go out of my way to recommend Joe's services to somebody in need.
