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.

    "HE SAVED MY CDL!"
    HE SAVED MY CDL! I was enrolled in CDL school when I was charged with both DUI and a Refusal charge. I learned from the school that either charge would prevent me from receiving my CDL. I hired Attorney Humphrey and after a few court appearances and him filing some motions, both charges were dismissed. If you are in fear of losing your license or not getting a CDL, you should give him a call. I can't thank him enough for everything he did for me.

    "I needed a hardship license because of my employment."
    I needed a hardship license because of my employment. Attorney Humphrey was able to quickly resolve my case so that I could get a hardship license immediately and I never missed a day of work. If you need help obtaining a hardship license, I would highly recommend that you talk with Attorney Humphrey.

    "Your ability to resolve my case quickly so I could drive again is greatly appreciated."
    I knew my 20+ year career in the Navy was over when I was charged by Middletown Police with DUI and refusal to submit to a chemical test. You were recommended by other Navy personnel for your great work for them. Your ability to resolve my case quickly so I could drive again is greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend you to any other military personnel or civilian if they are charged with DUI or Refusal.

    "My family and I were overjoyed with the outcome!!"
    When arrested for DUI and Refusal, I was immediately afraid how a criminal conviction would affect my immigration status. Attorney Humphrey skillfully negotiated with the Town and got the DUI dismissed. He then used his considerable talents to prepare for a Refusal trial. Immediately before trial, the case was dismissed. I cannot emphasize the weight that was lifted off my shoulders. My family and I were overjoyed with the outcome!! Thank you again for all of your hard work.

    "Thank you for everything you did for me."
    My father found you online and I couldn't be happier with your representation of me. As a schoolteacher, I was extremely concerned when I was charged with drunk driving. You expertly guided me through the legal system and answered my numerous questions. Thank you for everything you did for me.

    "If you need a DUI defense attorney, you should call Robert H. Humphrey"
    I was involved in a serious motor vehicle accident involving a telephone pole. Fortunately, Attorney Humphrey was able to quickly settle my case by getting the DUI charge dismissed. Most importantly, I did not sustain a criminal conviction which would have been a problem for my career. If you need a DUI defense attorney, you should call Robert H. Humphrey, Esq.

    "I knew I made the right choice"
    I was so ashamed when I was charged by the State Police with drunk driving while driving home on Thanksgiving night. While I was in court, I had an opportunity to observe Attorney Robert Humphrey handling another DUI case. I said to my husband, that's the attorney for me and I approached him to represent me. I knew I made the right choice when Robert was willing to come to my house to discuss my case since I could not drive because of the Refusal license suspension. His ability to minimize the license suspension and get the charges dropped was so important to me because I recently was hired for a great job in Massachusetts. I was so lucky that there is a great DUI defense lawyer located right here in Tiverton.

    "You are truly wonderful."
    I have never been in trouble before in my life. As a retired teacher, I have always prided myself on my clean criminal record. I was extremely upset when the Westport Police charged me with reckless driving because of a bad mistake. You were able to get all of the charges against me dismissed in the first court appearance. You are truly wonderful.
