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.- Richard

Thank you again for representing me during my expungement hearing. I was very pleased with the level of professionalism, expertise and attention to detail that your law firm demonstrated. Although I hope never to return to 6th District Court, if I find myself ever needing a lawyer - or if someone I know needs one - your law firm will receive my highest recommendation.- D.K.A.

I was arrested by the Cumberland Police for social host violations. Due to my profession in the IT field, I knew a criminal conviction would negatively impact my career. I found Attorney Humphrey online and when looking at his firm’s website, I was impressed by his knowledge and his articles regarding social host issues and hired him immediately. I never received a criminal conviction and I am truly grateful for all of his help. I would highly recommend him.- Mike

I was extremely concerned when my son, a college student, was charged by the Providence Police with a felony. Fortunately, a family friend who is a Massachusetts attorney referred me to you. I appreciate the way you patiently and diligently represented my son through this entire process. Getting the felony charge dismissed was a better outcome than we could have hoped for. Thank you for getting the dismissal expunged from his record so he can have a clean start in life. I would highly recommend your services to any other parent of a college student who finds themselves in trouble with the law in Rhode Island!- Dennis

My brother found you online and you are wonderful! I was very concerned about my previous DUI charge, but you were able to do the impossible and get the Providence Police DUI charge dismissed. Thank you.- Lani

A late-night drive home after a holiday party resulted in a suspicion of Driving Under the Influence arrest with a high BAC reading as well as several traffic violations. This was a shocking and scary occurrence in my life without a criminal record or traffic violations background. Upon hiring Attorney Humphrey, I immediately felt at ease with his confidence, expert understanding of DUI laws, and long-standing experience with the local court systems and personnel. I could not be more satisfied with the outcome of my case given the severity of the charges. I highly recommend Attorney Humphrey to anyone who is facing an alcohol-related offense.- Scott

My parents and I did not know where to turn after I was arrested by the State Police and charged with drunk driving. I am a college student and had been involved in an accident and feared the worst possible outcome. I was referred to Attorney Humphrey and he achieved what I thought was impossible. Even though I had high readings, the charge was amended to reckless driving and I did not receive a criminal conviction!!! My parents and I were extremely pleased with the outcome.- A.
-
I made a stupid mistake and was charged with a criminal offense. I appreciate how quickly you were able to have the criminal charge dismissed and my record expunged because as a graduating senior I don't want anything on my record that would interfere with me getting a good job. It was excellent working with you.- Sam
