• 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

"I was sure I was going to jail but Joe proved my first OUI shouldn't count against me. His associate attorney James Dunn had to go back to the other court three times before the clerk finally found it in the basement. That made all the difference at trial. The DA wanted to give me a two year jail sentence but Joe talked the judge out of it. I can't believe how hard they both worked for me (and how early in the morning Joe got up to send me emails). They're both fantastic. It's OK for people to call me if they want."

'I was impressed with your confidence and composure in the courtroom. I watched the other lawyers today before our trial and you were the most well spoken. Your rapid succession of clever and thorough questions left the officer off guard and uncertain. (I was struggling to hold back a smirk since I knew it wouldn't look good.)  It's clear you've tried many a drunk driving case and I am very glad I hired you. I actually called a friend today and told him to do so. Feel free to put these remarks on your website. I'd be happy to speak with any prospective clients.'

I had been stopped by a state trooper who saw I had been suspended by the RMV for an out of state OUI. Joe recommended I seek a Clerk's Hearing and presented both letters from the RMV and a copy of the statute showing the mandatory jail provision did not apply to me. The Clerk  Magistrate dismissed the case and it never went into court. I can't recommend him highly enough.

My first arrest I blew an incredibly over limit  .32- four times the legal limit!  He arranged to have the case heard on the day before Christmas assuring me it was the best day of the year to get a good deal. He was absolutely right: I got just a slap on the wrist. Then when I got my 2nd offense during the probation period for my first one, he told me exactly what I needed to do to avoid jail time.

Cop saw Sarah cross marked lanes 5 times. Her speech was slurred and she failed all the field tests. After refusing the station breath test, we overturned her 3-year RMV suspension so she drove legally awaiting jury trial. There, although 3 cops testified against her we kept out both a damning video and medical records showing her blood alcohol was twice the legal limit. We then argued Sarah behaved completely normally at roadside before cops grabbed and arrested her and also stressed she did the balancing tests in flip flops, after midnight, exhausted and on her way to her second job.    JURY VERDICT: NOT GUILTY 

Cop saw client driving with two tires in opposite lane for 50 yards. When asked for license, he gave cop Walmart receipt. He failed the one leg stand and alphabet test with allegedly "slurred" speech and blew a .13 at the station. First we negotiated the exclusion of the breath test. Then, the booking video we obtained showed him entering the station handcuffed behind his back yet walking and talking perfectly normally. This created the necessary reasonable doubt.

CLIENT'S LETTER:

I thank you and James for all your hard work. Joe is totally no nonsense and tells you the exact truth. If an attorney tells you he can absolutely win your case, do not waste your time. Call Joe. He has fair rates and is the only lawyer I know of that has a payment plan that will not make you feel you have been raked over the coals. I placed my trust in them and you should too. Incredible professionalism. They have a saying, "Don't look back...you're not going that way." Best piece of advice you'll ever get. 

With sincere admiration, Stephen Jackson

Sarah was arrested for her 2nd offense and refused to take the breath test when she reached the police station. We guided her through the complex process of fighting it at the RMV, then appealed their denial to a judge who reinstated her license. She has been driving legally for almost two years as the case worked its way towards trial.

Client had received an eight year license suspension of his driving license from the Registry of Motor Vehicles based on their 1978 records showing him to have faced a 3rd offense. I researched the old charge and discovered Probation records which showed his guilty finding was revoked later that year but never reported to the RMV. I presented these in a Memorandum with Exhibits to the three member Board and argued for the immediate restoration of his full privilege license.

I cannot recommend attorneys Waldbaum and Dunn more highly! They were amazing and made me feel like they truly cared aobut me and my case from day one.  Just knowing I had them on my side made me feel better and saved me alot of worry. My case had a lot of incriminiating evidence and I risked losing my freedom, my license, career and marriage. Not only did I receive the best possible outcome but I was told by the court magistrate it was due to the work of my amazing attorneys. I am incredibly grateful for everything they did.

Charged with OUI, Open Container [min. $500 fine] and Negligent Operation [a criminal charge], I stood to lose my security clearance and job of 17 years if found guilty. Joe got me the absolute bare minimum license loss plus no fines on the other charges- saving me $600.

"Joe provided me with thorough documents explaining to me every detail of what I was to expect, making me feel at ease during the entire process. I was able to get my work license the next week, without having to return back to court. He also guided me through the next series of steps. His professionalism was first rate and I would recommend Joe as being one of the best OUI specialists to have on your case." A.M.
