Bail Commissioner


Previous Newport County Bail Commissioner

Prosecutorial & Judicial Experience

My prosecutorial experience began in April of 1994 as the Assistant Solicitor for the Town of Little Compton. In that capacity my duties included prosecuting misdemeanors that occurred in the Town of Little Compton such as domestic violence and drunk driving. I continued as Assistant Solicitor for 14 years during which time I began to serve as Assistant Solicitor for the Town of Portsmouth in December of 2002, where I handled similar misdemeanor prosecution cases. Additionally, in the Towns of Burrillville, Middletown and Portsmouth I served as Special Prosecutor, again for misdemeanor cases involving drunk driving and domestic violence.

Through these experiences I was able to establish a strong working relationship with the law enforcement communities in several areas throughout the State of Rhode Island. In addition, it allowed me the specialized opportunity of handling criminal cases both as a prosecutor and a defense attorney. From this all-encompassing vantage point I have been able to level the playing field and obtain excellent outcomes for my clients.

In August of 1996 I began practice as a Newport County Bail Commissioner, the service of which has allowed me to play a crucial role in our judicial system. As Bail Commissioner I have several vital responsibilities including:

  • To act as neutral magistrate at initiation of criminal proceedings
  • To make probable cause determinations
  • To sign arrest warrants
  • To commit individuals to the Adult Correctional Institution

In December of 2003 and continuing through December of 2005 I had the opportunity to serve as the Municipal Court Judge for the Town of Tiverton. While serving as Municipal Court Judge I heard and decided cases of local minimum housing, standard traffic violations and zoning issues.

Testimonials

    "A friend referred me to Bob and he has done a great job for me."
    I was taking a walk in my neighborhood at night when I fell in a hole a construction company installing electrical wires had left unmarked. I broke my left foot and my injuries were more complicated by the fact that I am a diabetic. A friend referred me to Bob and he has done a great job for me.

    "I would highly recommend Attorney Humphrey"
    I was greatly concerned when my daughter, who is a college student, was charged with drunk driving with high blood alcohol readings. I knew a criminal conviction could have devastating effects on her college career and ability to be employed after graduation. Fortunately, I hired Attorney Humphrey to represent her. After negotiations with the Prosecutor, the drunk driving charge was amended to the non-criminal charge of driving while impaired. He was even able to get the charge expunged from her criminal record. I would highly recommend Attorney Humphrey to any parent whose child finds themselves in a similar predicament.

    "After I hired Attorney Humphrey, I knew I made the right choice."
    I had another attorney, but my case was going nowhere. After I hired Attorney Humphrey, I knew I made the right choice. He was an exceptional attorney and his reputation among his fellow attorneys and the Court is evident. He was able to get my DUI amended to reckless driving without any license suspension.
    - Edward
    "He was in a word, exceptional."
    After I was arrested twice in one week, I knew I needed a skilled criminal defense attorney. Attorney Humphrey was that and more! He skillfully negotiated with prosecutors on my behalf. He used his knowledge of the courtroom and the law and got the first case dismissed immediately. I knew at that moment, that I had hired the right attorney. The second case also resulted in a dismissal. He was in a word, exceptional.
    - Henry
    "I knew he was the right person to handle my case."
    As a mother and small business owner I knew my life was in trouble when I was charged by the police with drunk driving, driving while in possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, refusal to submit to a chemical test and a laned roadway violation. An attorney friend knew of Attorney Humphrey's reputation with regards to serious drunk driving offenses. From my first meeting with Attorney Humphrey I knew he was the right person to handle my case. Based on his arguments before both the 6 th Division District Court and the Traffic Tribunal, all the charges against me, including even the traffic ticket, were dismissed. Attorney Humphrey's skill prevented me from getting a criminal record or losing my license. I strongly recommend him for anyone in a similar situation.
    - Melissa
    "I recommend that any parent call Attorney Humphrey if their child is arrested."
    As a parent, I was extremely nervous and concerned when my son was arrested by the Bristol Police. I feared it would have serious consequences on his ability to find a job after he graduated from college. Then I found Attorney Humphrey and he immediately put me at ease and addressed my concerns. He effectively and efficiently handled my son's case and the matter was immediately removed from his record. I cannot say enough about Attorney Humphrey's compassion and skill as an attorney. I recommend that any parent call Attorney Humphrey if their child is arrested.
