Testimonials

    "I couldn't be more thankful."
    I was mortified when I was charged with drunk driving. I had never been in trouble with the law before so I contacted our family attorney. He referred me to Attorney Humphrey because of his extensive experience handling Rhode Island DUI cases. This was a very traumatic experience for me but Attorney Humphrey was up to the challenge. Whenever I felt overwhelmed, I would contact Attorney Humphrey and he would put my mind at ease. He was able to get the DUI charge dismissed and I couldn't be more thankful.

    "I was extremely impressed"
    When I was charged with a drunk driving offense after a motor vehicle accident, I was extremely worried because I need my license to drive to work in Massachusetts. I was extremely impressed by Attorney Humphrey's ability to move my case quickly and efficiently through the system and to successfully resolve my case after only two court appearances.

    "Thank you, Bob and Kimberly."
    Thank you, Bob and Kimberly. My birthday is tomorrow and this is a great birthday gift. While I would have preferred to have this not happen to me at all, your law firm made the process understandable, bearable, and expedient. I hope to not have to recommend you to family/friends in the future, but know for sure that if this unfortunate incident happens to any of them, I will be sure to recommend you without hesitation.

    "He was great."
    As a wife and mother, I was mortified when I was arrested by the Portsmouth Police Department. The entire experience was embarrassing and nerve wracking and I didn’t know what to do. My husband called Attorney Humphrey and he jumped right in. He came to court with me the next day and handled my entire case in a professional and considerate manner. He was great.

    "I would highly recommend the attorneys of the Law Offices of Robert H. Humphrey."
    Being charged by the Westerly police with a DUI, put me in a difficult situation because I was in the process of moving to Florida. I found Robert Humphrey, Esq., online. He and Attorney Petta did a great job handling my case and getting the DUI charge amended. This saved me a lengthy license suspension and allowed me to move on with my plans to move to Florida. I would highly recommend the attorneys of the Law Offices of Robert H. Humphrey.

    "I could not be happier with the results."
    When I was arrested by the Tiverton police for DUI after an accident, Attorney Humphrey was available to meet with me right away to discuss my situation. He quickly resolved my case. The charge was dismissed and my record was then cleared. The entire process took less than two months from start to finish. I could not be happier with the results.

    "I highly recommend him because of his professionalism and dedication to his clients and their families."
    Earlier this year, I received the call that every parent dreads, the police informed me that my son and his friend had been in an accident involving a utility pole. Fortunately neither of them were seriously injured but my son was charged with OUI. I contacted a family friend who is a lawyer in Rhode Island and he referred me to Robert H. Humphrey, Esq. This was a long and difficult process for our family, appearing several times before the Attleboro District Court, but based on Bob's arguments, the Judge agreed to dismiss the OUI charge. We really appreciate everything Bob did in researching the scene of the accident and the law regarding OUI cases. I highly recommend him because of his professionalism and dedication to his clients and their families.
