Testimonials

    "call Attorney Robert H. Humphrey."
    When I received a letter from the Rhode Island Traffic Tribunal informing me that because of a recent RI State Police traffic ticket I needed to appear before the RITT because I could lose my license since this was my third traffic offense within twelve months I knew I needed a great lawyer. My Dad knew of Attorney Robert Humphrey’s reputation and he contacted him to represent me. Attorney Humphrey did a great job for me and in just one court appearance he got the case resolved and I did not lose my license. If you need a great attorney to represent you before the Rhode Island Traffic Tribunal, call Attorney Robert H. Humphrey.

    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!

    "Thank you for getting the charges dismissed"
    We were on the verge of getting married when an argument resulted in me being arrested for domestic disorderly conduct and domestic simple assault. My fiancee and I were coming home from a party when we got into a verbal disagreement. A neighbor saw us arguing on the side of the road and called the police. I had never been in trouble and this was the worst moment of my life. My fiancee and I cannot thank you enough for your courtesy and attention to my case. You were always available when we called and you calmly and expertly guided us through this extremely difficult time. Thank you for getting the charges dismissed and expunged from my records so we can move on with our married life without this cloud hanging over our heads. You are the best and we will be recommending you to all of our friends.

    "As a professional, I knew I could not have a criminal conviction on my record."
    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.

    "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.

    "quickly resolved my case"
    I was charged by the Cranston Police with three felony domestic violence charges. I knew I needed a criminal defense lawyer with vast experience in the area of domestic violence law. Fortunately, I engaged Attorney Humphrey who skillfully and quickly resolved my case so me and my family could move on with our life.

    "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.
