I was charged with my 3rd offense and faced a mandatory jail sentence. On the very first date Joe's in Court, he convinces the DA to charge me only as a second offender. Then, when we get in front of the Judge, he convinces her to treat me as a first offender AND waive the mandatory $1000 fine. Instead of potential jail and an 8 year license loss, now I can get my license back. Even the Judge said, "You made a very good argument, Counselor."

First I admitted to the Trooper I had 2 beers; then I told him 4. The Police Report said  I had slurred speech, glassy eyes, was unsteady, failed  to touch my finger at the spot he told me to, couldn't keep my foot up for 30 seconds, didn’t walk heel to toe like he showed me, and couldn’t say the alphabet. In other words, I failed all the field tests. As an experienced Mass DUI Lawyer, Joe told me I could win anyway and advised we go to Trial. He did a fantastic job.

I knew as soon as I spoke to him on the phone he was the real deal.  First day in court, Joe gets my bail reduced by $3000. At trial, he convinced jurors not to believe the cop who testified I said "I know I'm drunk." I avoided 

• a felony conviction, 
• a mandatory jail sentence,
• the loss of my job of 33 years and 
• loss of my pension. 

Thanks to the not guilty verdict.

"This man is a true professional. He was honest about my choices and decisions the whole way through the legal process. I had total faith in Joe from the beginning. It was Amazing and Impressive sitting next to him and watching him work and win me a "Not Guilty" and then convince the judge to restore my license. Don't question this man's advice! Listen and do as he recommends.....you won't be sorry! "

After my daughter’s call about her OUI in the middle of the night we had little time. Joe Waldbaum literally dropped everything to be in Court within an hour. Picking an Attorney, on-line, would NOT have been my first option, but I do not believe it could have turned out any better. He explained everything clearly, and he was well prepared with helpful paperwork for us. He answered each call or email immediately and thoroughly and got my daughter a better deal than we ever expected. He's very kind to his clients (and to hovering mothers). Lastly, his fee was not only reasonable but, as promised, he did not surprise us with extras! I would highly recommend Attorney Waldbaum.  

D.B., a second offender, was arrested and wisely refused the Breathalyzer at the station house. The RMV immediately suspended her license for three full years. On appeal  in court, we convinced a judge to reverse the 3 year suspension, thus saving our client the major portion of license loss for a second offender.

There are only 15 calendar days after arrest to get this started

Client was arrested for his third OUI and refused to take the breath test upon his arrival at the station house. The RMV suspended him for the required five years. We chose to contest this which must be done within only 15 calendar days of the arrest. On appeal to a judge in court we won and the suspension was reversed.

RMV took my license for 5 years when I refused the breathalyzer. Joe guided me through the maze to fight this which must be begun within 15 calendar days of arrest. After the RMV denied me, Joe appealed to a judge in court who reversed the RMV and returned my license. I drove legally and kept my job while we awaited trial. (Not guilty there, too!)

A summa cum laude UMass grad was speeding 87 mph in a 65 mph zone, couldn't say the alphabet and failed all four field sobriety tests. Then the cop testified he had crossed the center line by "a foot and a half" for "10 to 12 seconds" at least "two to three times." On cross exam, I asked him to underline the sentences in his Report where he recorded any of those assertions. Not even one was in his Report and he lost all credibility with the Judge.

"That was a masterful job, Attorney Waldbaum. I wish some of the other lawyers had been in this Court room to watch you. They would have learned a lot."
