DUDLEY CASES

NOT GUILTY 2ND OFFENSE
AND ALL 4 CHARGES
ED;  978.491.0409

I was still on probation for my first OUI when I got my second. I was also charged with Negligent Operation and Operating in Violation of the hours restriction on my hardship license, two additional criminal charges. Joe clearly knows this practice area. He also knew the judge, the DA and everybody else in the courtroom.  He got me acquitted of all 3 charges. Incredibly, he then convinced the judge to restore my license as well despite the three year refusal suspension.  I told him he could put my name and cell number anywhere he wants!

"I'D TRUST ANYTHING HE SAYS.
HE NEVER LED ME ASTRAY"

NOT GUILTY 2ND OUI
AFTER ADMITTED DRINKING:
"PROBABLY MORE THAN I SHOULD HAVE"
MARK:  508-736-4516

I also admitted to one drink per hour for several hours but Joe got that statement thrown out at his pretrial motion to suppress evidence. There were 3 cops and 3 cruisers. They smelled alcohol, said I couldn't walk the line and was unsteady on my feet. At trial, Joe pointed out the inconsistencies in 2 of the officer's stories and showed the cruiser and booking videos to the jury to contradict their testimony. After deliberating over 2 days, they found me not guilty and the judge then immediately restored my license saving me the rest of the three year refusal suspension.

"JOE IS BRUTALLY HONEST, RIDICULOUSLY PROFESSIONAL
AND INSANELY GOOD."

NOT GUILTY - 3RD OFFENSE

"Charged with my third offense, I faced mandatory jail time of 6 months, a 13 year loss of license and the loss of my job and pension. I needed a damn good drunk driving lawyer. Attorney Waldbaum did everything carefully, deliberately and ultimately, correctly. He's very smart, knows a lot about the system, and won't B.S. you. He tells you straight up what could happen to you and what's going on. I cried when the Jury said, “Not Guilty.“

"He made the cop squirm on the witness stand for every lie."
 
NOT GUILTY: DINNER RECEIPT + DOCTOR'S REPORT DIAGNOSING 'GERD'
My client and 12 year old daughter went to the Police to report a restraining order violation. The cops refused to take a report and insisted she perform 5 field sobriety tests in front of her daughter. I moved for an immediate trial 3 weeks later and told the Judge to imagine the pressure a mother is under when forced to do such tests in full view of her children. I also produced the dinner receipt showing she had only 2 drinks 6 hours earlier, and medical reports showing she suffered from GERD [explaining the 'moderate' odor of alcohol] Result: Not Guilty and license restored that day.
 
3RD OFFENDER NOT GUILTY
DESPITE .27 PBT

A career Air Force Officer crossed marked lanes 3 times, stumbled upon exiting his truck and could only recite the first few letters of the alphabet. He faced his third offense and mandatory jail. The video showed him unsteady on his feet, slurring his words and unable to spell his mother’s maiden name. I argued the events occurred at 2:30 AM in a steady rain, he had been up for 36 hours straight and his behavior was just as consistent with someone who was sleep deprived as someone under the influence. The jury agreed.

The forewoman actually threw us a thumbs up as they left the jury box!
 
NOT GUILTY 3RD OFFENSE DUE TO ODOR OF SOLVENTS
My client was stopped for a minor lanes violation and charged with his 3rd offense, thus facing mandatory jail time and a thirteen year license loss. He had been working in a small bathroom all day using solvents to remove floor tile. His clothes reeked of this and caused his breath to mimic the smell of alcohol. I called the homeowner for whom he had been working to testify at trial to verify these unusual facts. The Judge gave us a "directed verdict" of not guilty. Plus, he then reversed client's five year refusal suspension so he got his license back.
 
'DRINKING AND DRIVING WAS YOUR 1ST MISTAKE;
NOT CALLING JOE WOULD BE YOUR 2ND'

“From the moment I called Joe, I got quick responses to all my questions, great attention to detail, and a lawyer who wanted to win a difficult case! I had -- so the cops said -- failed all the sobriety tests. No stone was left unturned. His Courtroom presence made the difference between a conviction and having my license restored immediately after acquittal.”

'I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FAST AND EFFECTIVE YOU ARE AT YOUR JOB.
I MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE CALLING YOU, NO DOUBT!"

This is the actual email I sent Joe after the cops in my town continued to harass me trying to arrest me at my home even after the case was settled and my default warrant was cancelled. Banging on my door at 12:30 in the morning waking my wife and myself afraid to go to the door for fear of being arrested again wrongfully. The next day I called Joe and told him my worries, and asked what to do. Within 1 hour he had called the police Chiefs in my town, and neighboring town, and informed both that my warrant was cancelled, and then he got the warrant cancellation notice from the court and faxed it to both police departments and to me to keep in my wallet.

IF THERE'S SUCH A THING AS GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND, JOE DOES JUST THAT, NOT TO MENTION THE FANTASTIC DEAL HE GOT ME WITH THE JUDGE!
