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.

As a professional, I knew I could not have a criminal conviction on my record. When I was arrested for DUI, I feared I would lose my livelihood. As a result of Attorney Humphrey's excellent reputation and experience handling DUI cases, I avoided a criminal conviction. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my case and would recommend his firm to anyone arrested for DUI.- S.B.

I was in a very dark place when I was arrested for drunk driving. My world was falling apart and Attorney Humphrey saved me. He was extremely professional in his handling of my case and he was also compassionate about my personal struggles. He was able to get the drunk driving charge dismissed and I would have been lost without him.- Karen

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.- Erik

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.- C.F.

This past summer I was arrested by the Rhode Island State Police for drunk driving. I had never been arrested before and was terrified of the outcome. I wanted a skilled attorney who had experience defending DUI cases. Attorney Humphrey was wonderful. Through his hard work and dedication, I avoided a criminal conviction and I never lost my driver's license. Although it was an unfortunate experience, I am the person who had the privilege of being represented by Attorney Humphrey.- Alan

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.- O. C.

The Pawtucket Police charged me with a second DUI offense within 5 years with readings over .15 BAC. I know I was looking at a minimum mandatory 6 months in jail and a 2 year loss of license. I needed someone who could do the impossible - make the case go away because I couldn't serve jail time because of health issues and I would lose my job if I lost my license. Attorney Humphrey did just that, the impossible. Based on the legal issues he raised, the Prosecution folded on the day of trial and the charges were dismissed. I didn't even receive a traffic ticket. I would highly recommend Attorney Humphrey to anyone charged with a DUI.- George
