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

    "Thank you for your excellent representation in both my Gun charge and weapons"
    Thank you for your excellent representation in both my Gun charge and weapons other than firearms cases. You worked tirelessly to get me out of jail and home to my wife. In the end you were able to get both charges dismissed so I could get back to work and on with my life. I will highly recommend you to everyone.

    "You did an excellent job for me"
    I was very concerned when the Rhode Island State Police stopped me for drunk driving because I have a Massachusetts license. You did an excellent job for me because I really couldn't have a criminal record with my job.

    "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.

    "Mr. Humphrey knows DUI law."
    Mr. Humphrey knows DUI law. He was able to go through my husband 's case and save his CDL license. We contacted him at 4am and by the next morning he was on the case. He put in the time and knows all about DUI law and Knows Your Rights!! He will look at your case and pull it apart to make sure that you are being represented fairly in the court room. Thought all the hard work in getting CDL license was lost and he was able to save the license and career. My family and I appreciated all he did and if you ever need a DUI attorney Mr. Humphrey is the man to go to!

    "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 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.

    "Thank you for being great at what you do."
    My wife and I were celebrating our first anniversary when I was involved in a drunk driving accident which resulted in severe injury to my shoulder. I was very scared because I'm not use to being in court. My aunt who is in the legal profession did a lot of research and determined that you were the best attorney in Rhode Island to handle a DUI case. My wife and I are sure glad she found you. You did a great job moving my case efficiently through the court system and got the DUI dismissed so I can have a clean record when I apply for jobs. Thank you for being great at what you do.
