I googled MA OUI lawyers and saw Joe had won 75% of his trials. The officer testified he saw me swerve from lane to lane without signaling and measured me speeding 35 mph over the limit. He also said I failed all the sobriety tests: the ABCs, one leg stand and 9 step walk and turn test. Joe argued to the jury that he hadn't bothered to make a note that I was nervous (due to the presence of three cops and three cruisers) that it was 27 degrees out and that I was wearing high heels. 

See judge's order restoring license.

I was caught driving 20 mph over the limit, admitted to a few drinks and was arrested for my 2nd offense.  I refused the breath test and lost my license for 3  years.  Once I read about all the people Atty. W. helped and called him, he immediately put me at ease. When the Trooper didn't show up for a pretrial Hearing, he had a Motion ready to dismiss my case and another to restore my license.  The judge agreed with both.

See judge's order restoring license.

'It was really something to watch Joe argue his pretrial motions. He  was very clever and kept out lots of bad facts.  During a 2-day trial, when everybody went to lunch, he stayed at the defense table preparing his cross exam of the cop who said I almost hit a guardrail, had slurred speech and admitted drinking. But when he said I fell "face first" during the walk the line test, Joe showed the jury he never wrote that in his report. After the not guilty, he brought a motion to restore my license and convinced the judge to do so as well"

See judge's order restoring license.

Client smelled of alcohol, admitted drinking and had red, glassy and bloodshot eyes. He failed 2 field sobriety tests and 2 empty beer bottles were found within reach in the truck. At the barracks, the breathalyzer registered over the legal limit at 0.10. At trial I argued cop followed him for one mile and he committed no lanes violations, had no trouble producing his license and registration, getting out of the car and walking normally. Plus the breath test was done one hour after driving and they couldn't prove what his blood alcohol was at the time of driving  --- as required by law.

Client was measured by radar at 90 mph, had strong odor of alcohol, bloodshot, glassy eyes, admitted  drinking from 2 pm to 830 pm and could not recite alphabet correctly. On cross exam, trooper admitted speeding is not a recognized indicator of OUI, he committed no other moving violations in a 2.5 mile stretch and though he said client put his foot down "several times" during the one leg stand and walked "off the line" during the walk and turn test, neither of those observations had been recorded in his report.

Client was measured by LIDAR at 94 mph, didn't pull over quickly, failed 2 of 3 field sobriety tests then told trooper, "I know I screwed up." I stressed to jury that he passed the ABC test, had no slurred speech, and told the officer he had a bad back but was made to do the two balancing tests anyway. The officer said everybody on the jury could do the tests perfectly.  I saw 3 jurors look down and smile and asked, "How could you possibly know that for sure, officer?" He sheepishly answered, "Well, most of them probably could." Point taken. Not guilty in ten minutes.

For my first OUI, I used a different lawyer and took a guilty plea. Then I got my second OUI which seemed impossible to win. The 3 year loss of license for the refusal meant the loss of my job. It would affect my marriage and the rest of my life. I thank God I called Joe who calmed my fears and got my license back in a few weeks so I could drive legally for the 9 months it took to go to trial. There he fought the case with brilliant expertise and won a NOT GUILTY! I have a new lease on life and will be forever grateful to God for putting attorney Waldbaum in my path.

See decision reversing registry.

Client was stopped for speeding, failed the field tests and blew twice the legal limit. I stressed that he committed no lanes violations, promptly signaled when cop's blue lights went on, pulled over safely into safe area, no difficulty finding wallet and extracting license or finding registration in glove box, no difficulty exiting car or walking to rear. Jury acquitted him in 10 minutes.

Two officers testified client was seen speeding on a curving road, had a strong odor of alcohol, slurred speech, and stopped reciting the alphabet at Q instead of going to Z. I argued he committed no lanes violations, pulled over promptly when the officer's blue lights went on, was cooperative at all times and it was well past 1 AM when no one is at their mental or physical best.  Not guilty.

I was charged with DUI 2nd offense. I was speeding 20 mph over the speed limit and committed lanes violations. The cop testified I had slurred speech, smelled of alcohol, glassy eyes, was unsteady on my feet, could not stand without swaying and failed the field sobriety tests. First, Joe reduced the 3 year refusal suspension to just 180 days so I got my license back while the case was going on and then he beat all four charges at Trial:

I was stopped for speeding and a bunch of cops showed up. I was extremely nervous and they said I failed all the field sobriety tests. Joe was in Court for me the very next day AND the next three Court dates which greatly relieved my anxiety. He educated me about the process and was at all times helpful, professional and responsive. At the Motions hearing, he methodically documented an extensive laundry list  of things the Trooper had done all wrong. Once the Judge allowed his Motion to Suppress evidence, the DA dismissed the case, writing "there is insufficient evidence to proceed with the prosecution at this time." The OUI charge against me was dismissed and my license was restored immediately.

See DA's dismissal.

I was arrested for my 2nd offense and speeding 61 mph in a 40 zone. I admitted drinking three beers, taking Adderall and that I felt the effects of the alcohol. The Sergeant testified I failed  the one leg stand and nine step walk and turn test, was red faced and had glazed eyes.  Joe stressed to the jury all the things I had done right while driving. I avoided having to install a breathalyzer in my car, an additional two year license loss and over $5000 in various fines and fees. I've got my license back and am driving again.

Client was measured by radar at 90 mph, had strong odor of alcohol, bloodshot, glassy eyes, admitted  drinking from 2 pm to 830 pm and could not recite alphabet correctly. On cross exam, trooper admitted speeding is not a recognized indicator of OUI, he committed no other moving violations in a 2.5 mile stretch and though he said client put his foot down "several times" during the one leg stand and walked "off the line" during the walk and turn test, neither of those observations had been recorded in his report.

I was pulled over at 1 AM by the Newburyport MA police. At trial, the officer testified I had a strong odor of alcohol on my breath, glassy eyes and a "blotchy face" that was consistent with the use of alcohol. I hired Joe after reading his website and couldn't be happier. He obviously knew the court and the players and got me to trial in record time. Once acquitted, he had the Motion to restore my license drawn up and convinced the judge to do so the very same day despite my driving history of speeding tickets.

See acquittal + license restored.

• 2000:  He proved the stop of my car by police was illegal and the case was thrown out of court.
• 2013:  He demonstrated the accident was not my fault and won a not guilty after jury trial. 
• 2016:  I ran a red light and 3 cops were involved but Joe showed it was the cop's first OUI arrest ever and won a not guilty after a judge trial.
• 2018:  I left scene of a minor accident, was caught speeding with a strong odor of alcohol: Not guilty of both OUI and speeding

Client was seen by cop speeding 26 mph over limit and crossing centerline. Officer testififed he had bloodshot and glassy eyes, slurred speech and failed all three field sobriety tests. Once retained,  I Iimmediately filed a motion to preserve the booking video which proved crucial at trial. I also successfully got the breath test thrown out of court.

CLIENT'S COMMENTS:

"They are absolutely awesome, gave me good guidance all the way through the representation, performed professionally at every bend in the road and at trial brought up all the right points. I love them both!"

Client was stopped for speeding. Officer noted a strong odor of alcohol and glassy and bloodshot eyes. He  admitted to just coming from a bar and drinking beers. Officer said he became unbalanced on one of the field tests and was arrested. He then failed the breath test at the station and lost his license.. At trial not just one but two officers testified in their opinion he was under the influence of alcohol. Not guilty of 2nd offense OUI.

Client crashed into back of truck, totaled his car, went to hospital. admitted to drinking and his blood was drawn. I successfully kept the over the limit blood alcohol level out of evidence at trial where I argued that although the trooper obtained the contact info of the truck driver, the DA did not summons him so there was absolutely  zero evidence on how the accident happened. The judge agreed.

1. OUI-2ND: NOT GUILTY
2. NEGLIGENT OPERATION: NOT GUILTY
3. SPEEDING: NOT RESPONSIBLE
4. FOLLOWING TOO CLOSELY: NOT RESPONSIBLE

Client was seen speeding almost twice the limit. Cop put on his blues and siren but he did not stop. He pulled into a parking space in a crooked manner, had red, glassy, bloodshot eyes, an odor of alcohol, slurred speech and had to lean against the car to reach into the glove compartment. I obtained his medical records showing he had a chronic disease which would explain many of these observations and submitted the medical records  into evidence at trial.

Client was stopped for speeding and arrested for OUI. He failed the breathalyzer at the station a well over the legal limit. Before advising him how to proceed, I insisted on scrutinizing the booking video and discerned that the breath test was not properly administered. I was able to show this to a Judge at a Motion to Suppress Hearing. The Judge agreed and excluded the breath test from evidence at Trial.

See court order excluding breath test.

Before the accident, client was seen speeding 20 mph over the limit and weaving in and out of traffic. Cop followed him and saw him run a red light and shut off his headlights as he entered a residential section. The cop then found him after he had driven over a lawn and hit a guardrail. He testified he was unsteady on his feet, smelled of alcohol, had bloodshot and glassy eyes, slurred speech and many open containers of alcohol in the vehicle. Verdict: Not Guilty of OUI

Trooper saw client speeding over 100 mph and stopped him. Underage driver admitted to coming from a bar and consuming three drinks in the past hour. Plus, he was unsteady exiting the car, performing the field tests and was surly and uncooperative with officer. I convinced the Judge the late hour [2 AM] and other conditions explained his behavior and created reasonable doubt. The Judge agreed.

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.

I would highly recommend Joseph Waldbaum to anyone dealing with an oui in Massachusetts. He was informative, professional, helpful and extremely competent during the pre trial process as well as the trial process. I ended up having a short-notice bench trial with him in Framingham and he worked very hard to obtain all the discovery, share it with me punctually, go over it together, pick a preferable court date and ultimately successfully prove that I was not guilty, and then continued to help me restore my license. His cross examination was so thorough that I honestly felt kind of bad for the officer who testified against me.

 In addition to all this, he was just overall respectful and kind to me. Thanks again Mr Waldbaum.

If you are ever in need of a great DUI attorney, Joseph Waldbaum is the one you want. He backs up his clients 100%. He did everything possible for me. In addition to reducing the second offense charge to first offense only, he got the reckless operation, speeding, failure to stop and lanes violations all dismissed. I was very pleased with his office's representation and couldn't be happier how it all worked out. 

"Thank you for giving me my life back with the not guilty on the OUI after the cop caught me speeding. You are magnificent in the courtroom and it is easy to see that this comes from your hard work and dedication outside. You are the most passionate and articulate lawyer I have ever met. Your attention to detail and high motivation kept you ten steps in front of the DA at all times. This, combined with the respect and professionalism you show towards everyone in court makes you a most effective defender. I will continue to recommend you to anyone in need of a Mass DUI Lawyer."

Sincerely, M,B.

I was clocked speeding 100 mph in a 40 mph zone and searched the Internet for lawyers. In addition to his fine website, Joe called me right back and gave me more valuable information – much more of it – than all the other attorneys I spoke with combined. Hiring him was a no-brainer.
