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.

Hired Law Firm

Unfortunately, I had the need recently for an attorney to represent me. I did not know 1, but somehow had the good fortune of locating Joe. He was terrific from day 1 pre-court, but he really shone in court. After the officer presented his case, Joe simply took over. He was articulate and respectful, but forcefully expressed his views of my case. The court agreed with Joe, and I left the court with a dismissal. I repeat, I was very lucky to find Joe!!

Outstanding Representation each and every legal step of the way. Attorney Joe Higgins knowledge of the law and how to apply it on his clients behalf is stellar. Facing my 3rd OUI and I’d convicted jail time along with no longer being able to practice in my profession I had my life on the line. Joe used his knowledge of the law to convince a jury of reasonable doubt resulting in a not guilty finding. He was worth every penny! If you want the Very best-Hire Joe Higgins

Hired Attorney Joseph Higgins

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.
