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.

"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.- C.W.

"He is, in a word, the best."I was arrested by the Police and charged with DUI and Refusal. I could not have any criminal record and still keep my job. I knew I need an attorney who was highly skilled in drunk driving defense. Attorney Humphrey thoroughly examined my case and because of his experience, he was able to get the DUI dismissed and then expunged. The Refusal charge was scheduled for a trial date, but immediately before trial, it too was dismissed. Although it was an unfortunate incident, I am grateful to Attorney Humphrey for his hard work and dedication to my case. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who was charged with DUI. He is, in a word, the best.- M.M.

"Robert Humphrey, Esq., did a great job for me!"I was involved in an early morning accident involving four mailboxes. After the police responded, I was charged with drunk driving with readings over the legal limit. Attorney Humphrey negotiated with the Prosecutor and convinced him that the breath test results could not come into evidence at trial because of things Attorney Humphrey discovered by reviewing the Police Department DVD. Attorney Humphrey did a great job for me. I did not sustain a criminal conviction, which was my main concern, because if I did I would lose my job. Robert Humphrey, Esq., did a great job for me!- Mike

"I couldn't be happier with his representation."The first moment I saw him in Court I knew I had hired the right attorney. It was clear that Attorney Humphrey was greatly respected by both the Judge and all the other attorneys in the courtroom. I was impressed that he had written the Rhode Island book on DUI law and other attorneys kept coming up to him and asking for legal advice. He expertly and efficiently handled the DUI and refusal case. I couldn't be happier with his representation.- Sylvia

"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.- Carrie

"HE WROTE THE RHODE ISLAND BOOK ON DUI DEFENSE!"HE WROTE THE RHODE ISLAND BOOK ON DUI DEFENSE! When I recently got charged with drunk driving with high BAC readings after hitting a tree, I was referred to Attorney Humphrey by a friend who said he wrote Rhode Island’s book on DUI law. I could not recommend Attorney Humphrey more highly. He was able to get my high BAC readings thrown out so I could have a very successful outcome. When you have a DUI case, call the Man who wrote the Book.- Ross
