What is the Difference Between a Misdemeanor and Felony Crime?

The main difference between these two criminal offenses will be the severity of the penalties. Misdemeanor crimes are punishable for up to one (1) year imprisonment and up to $1,000.00 fine, whereas a felony crime is punishable by more than one (1) year imprisonment and more than $1,000.00 fine. If you have been charged with a misdemeanor or felony crime, be sure to contact a hard-hitting criminal lawyer without delay.

Humphrey has 30 years of experience in the general practice of law and has represented a large number of clients successfully in DUI and other criminal defense matters ranging from capital offenses to simple misdemeanors and traffic violations.

Testimonials

    "I would highly recommend him to friends and family."
    After being involved in a multi-car accident on 195 in Providence, I tried going it alone with the insurance companies. Fortunately, a family member who Attorney Humphrey had represented in the past referred me to him. Attorney Humphrey and Attorney Petta were with me every step of the way, he negotiated with the other drivers' insurance companies and my insurance company. He even convinced my medical providers to reduce their liens so I got the maximum amount possible as a settlement. I would highly recommend him to friends and family.

    "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.

    "Robert Humphrey, Esq., is the best Rhode Island attorney to call"
    My family and I were greatly concerned when I was charged with a crime after an automobile accident. Especially because I am on a scholarship at a local college. My sister found Attorney Humphrey online and he was great. He was able to quickly resolve the case so I did not receive a criminal conviction. I am going to tell all of my college classmates that if you get in trouble, Robert Humphrey, Esq., is the best Rhode Island attorney to call.

    "I am extremely grateful for your professional handling of my daughter’s case."
    I am extremely grateful for your professional handling of my daughter’s case. We are really fortunate that we had someone of your ability representing our daughter in her case. In our wildest imagination I don’t think we could have hoped for the outcome we were able to achieve. When I first received the call at 3:00 a.m. on Saturday I feared the worst. When we arrived at the police station I was horrified to read the report. Not only had she blown a .186 on the Breathalyzer, she was also cited for speeding, having too many people in the car, all of whom were unrestrained, and even one individual riding in the trunk. We knew she was in serious trouble. Her mother and I didn’t know what to do. We knew we couldn’t allow her to go into court on her own without some sort of representation. Reading the report, I thought it really wouldn’t matter who we had representing her because of the charges against her all of which seemed accurate and indefensible. We were especially lucky to have found you on the Internet. Your knowledge of the court system and process along with your expertise made us feel much better going into this. The fact that you were able to get the result you did was remarkable. I would strongly recommend you to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation. If someone makes the same egregious mistakes our daughter made, I would strongly suggest that they call you immediately and ask you to take their case.

    "he treated it as an important case and got me a good settlement."
    I was in a car accident on the way home from work. Although my case wasn't "a big case" according to other lawyers, it was important to me. My husband immediately contacted Bob and he treated it as an important case and got me a good settlement.

    "I called the phone number I found online at 3am"
    I couldn't be happier with the representation my fiancé received from the Law Offices of Robert H. Humphrey. Him and Kathleen were always available when we needed them and we often felt like they went the extra mile. I called the phone number I found online at 3am after my fiancé was arrested under the assumption I would reach an answering machine but Attorney Humphrey answered and said he would be at the courthouse at 9am if I hired him at 3am. Between him and Kathleen they made the best of an awful situation and we are extremely grateful we had him to represent my fiancé.

    "would highly recommend Attorney Humphrey"
    The Pawtucket Police charged me with a second DUI offense within 5 years with readings over .15 BAC. I know I was looking at a minimum mandatory 6 months in jail and a 2 year loss of license. I needed someone who could do the impossible - make the case go away because I couldn't serve jail time because of health issues and I would lose my job if I lost my license. Attorney Humphrey did just that, the impossible. Based on the legal issues he raised, the Prosecution folded on the day of trial and the charges were dismissed. I didn't even receive a traffic ticket. I would highly recommend Attorney Humphrey to anyone charged with a DUI.

    "Although I never touched my ex-girlfriend I was wrongly charged with domestic violence."
    I can't thank you enough for everything you and Attorney Petta did for me. The West Warwick Police charges of domestic simple assault and domestic disorderly conduct were a nightmare but you made them go away. Although I never touched my ex-girlfriend I was wrongly charged with domestic violence. By getting both domestic violence charges dismissed I can move on with my life and leave the State of Rhode Island for good. Before hiring you I talked with several other attorneys who were only interested in getting paid. You took the time to listen to my story. Thank you for everything.
