Joseph J. Higgins is a Criminal Defense Attorney that specializes in representing people charged with drunk driving in Massachusetts. He devotes his entire practice of law to DUI/OUI Defense and has been recognized by The National College for DUI Defense for his dedication and commitment to this area of the law. Attorney Higgins has also been identified by Super Lawyers Magazine as a Massachusetts "Rising Star" in DUI/DWI Defense each year since 2014. This distinction is limited to only 2.5 percent of attorneys in the state.
A graduate of Connecticut College and Suffolk University Law School, Attorney Higgins began his legal career as an Assistant District Attorney in Plymouth County. As an ADA, he was responsible for prosecuting hundreds of drunk driving cases each year and gained invaluable experience by going up against some of the best defense attorneys in the state. After prosecuting DUIs/OUIs for years, Attorney Higgins realized that he could best use his knowledge of DUI/OUI law to help people by being a defense attorney. Attorney Higgins has now appeared in over 60 courts across Massachusetts defending charges of DUI/OUI.

We decided to focus on OUI/DUI/DWI defense years ago because we recognize that good people are charged with this crime all the time. We want to help.
Facing this kind of charge doesn't make you a bad person. People from all walks of life, all occupations and all lifestyles get charged with Operating Under the Influence. While you may feel differently right now, hope is not lost. You have rights and you have options. Whether your case boils down to a poor decision, a mistake, a misunderstanding or the police just simply got it all wrong, we are prepared to protect and defend your legal rights.
Everyone's situation is different and we are well aware of that. The facts and circumstances behind your arrest are unique. Your life circumstances, finances, employment status and transportation options differ from those of others. We understand what needs to be taken into consideration when formulating a plan of action. How we handle your case will depend on your particular situation after a careful analysis of all relevant factors.
