I faced a possible six months mandatory jail sentence and a license loss of 13 years for a third offense. Joe noted in the report the cop had seen me wearing eyeglasses when he stopped me but told me to take them off before I did the balancing tests. Nowhere in his report did he tell me to put them back on.  Joe asked the cop so many questions he had no idea how to answer. It was just really smart. He even impressed the Judge. They acquitted me in ten minutes and the Judge ordered my license restored immediately. You can't ask for a better Massachusetts OUI Attorney.

I was stopped for multiple lane violations. I told the Trooper I had smoked a joint and had 2 beers 20 minutes ago. He noted a "blank stare" on my face and that I was unsteady on my feet. He said I failed the 3 field sobriety tests and arrested me. I never had any doubts in Attorney Waldbaum's abilities. He was always on time and prepared for every Court date for the year it took to go to trial. He wrote full reports every step of the way to  help me make all the right decisions. (Obviously.) Call me.  I'll gladly tell you.

Cop saw 3 lanes violations, testified client had slurred speech, bloodshot, glassy eyes, first said he had "4 beers," then later "4 beers and a Mai Tai." I got cop to admit client had no difficulty finding and delivering his license and registration, thus his fine motor skills were normal. Plus he had no difficulty exiting the car and walked fine. After the not guilty verdict, I convinced Judge to restore his license which had been suspended for 3 years for refusing the breath test.

See judge's order restoring license.

I was stopped at a sobriety checkpoint while driving some friends home. I admitted to drinking two beers and said the last one was about 20 minutes ago so the trooper asked me to step out and do three field sobriety tests and then arrested me. I took the breath test in the trailer and failed and immediately lost my license. Joe told me how to proceed every step of the way and did a great job at trial.  

I thought I was dead to rights. I blew a. 26 on the breath test which was 3 times the legal limit. Somehow, James got the DA to agree to keep it out of evidence against me at trial. Plus, the civilian caller who followed me  also showed up at trial and took the stand but James pointed out inconsistencies in his testimony. There was even a bad video but James totally turned that around on them. He's a rock star. 

My son was facing his second OUI offense in one year. Joe said we could win the case and patiently explained everything to us every step of the way. Ultimately he obtained a not guilty at trial and even convinced the judge to remove the three year license suspension for refusing the breath test -something we never expected. Now I can finally stop chauffeuring him around!

My client crossed the fog line and almost hit a state police cruiser. When he was finally stopped, his clothes were disheveled, his speech was slurred and there was a strong odor of alcohol on his breath. He was unable to complete the alphabet test and was arrested for his 2nd offense as well as obstructing an emergency vehicle. He was found not guilty: no mandatory jail, no two week hospital treatment program, no fines, no fees, and no probation.

My client had been convicted for a NH operating under the influence charge in which he had blown over the legal limit. Then, he was caught driving again in Massachusetts. I chose to discuss his case with a DA with whom I had dealt before and knew was willing to deal. He agreed to reduce the charge , eliminating the mandatory jail provision. The Judge rubber-stamped it.
