What is the Difference Between a Misdemeanor and Felony Crime?

The main difference between these two criminal offenses will be the severity of the penalties. 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. If you have been charged with a misdemeanor or felony crime, be sure to contact a hard-hitting criminal lawyer without delay.

Humphrey has 30 years of experience in the general practice of law and has represented a large number of clients successfully in DUI and other criminal defense matters ranging from capital offenses to simple misdemeanors and traffic violations.

Testimonials

    "I would recommend his services to anyone!"
    I was on probation when I was arrested by the Middletown police for drunk driving. I knew I needed a great attorney if I wanted to avoid jail. I found Attorney Humphrey and met him at his office. He listened to me and helped alleviate my concerns. He used his considerable skills to keep me out of jail. For anyone charged with a probation violation, you should hire Attorney Humphrey. I have already referred another case to him and I would recommend his services to anyone!

    "I couldn't be happier and I want to thank him for everything."
    Around Thanksgiving, I was charged by the Middletown Police with drunk driving. My parents knew about Attorney Humphrey's reputation so we immediately set up an appointment with him. He expertly reviewed the facts in my case and got me a great disposition. I couldn't be happier and I want to thank him for everything.

    "We would highly recommend Attorney Humphrey to any parent of a college student."
    I was shocked when my daughter called me and told me that she had been charged with transportation of alcohol by a minor by Narragansett Police because my daughter never gets into trouble and does not use alcohol. If anything, she is always the friend who is available to pick up and drive home her friends when they have had too much to drink. She was unaware that driving a friend who is 21 years of age with alcohol in her car could result in criminal charges against her. We found Attorney Humphrey online and he explained the charges to us and the potential penalties. He expertly resolved my daughter’s case so the charges were dismissed and she did not receive a criminal record. We would highly recommend Attorney Humphrey to any parent of a college student.

    "Thank God my mom found you online."

    "We could not be more pleased with the end result."
    My son and I want to thank you and Attorney Petta, for the successful resolution of our matter. When he called from school and told me about the alcohol possession charge, I knew we needed to seek legal representation. As we are not from the Bristol area, and not familiar with local laws, we really did not know where to begin. I was fortunate to come upon your website, and it was clear your office was experienced with cases far more serious than his. I was surprised to reach you in person when I called for a consultation, and you quickly put me at ease after discussing the situation. We could not be more pleased with the end result.

    "Attorney Humphrey is truly exceptional!"
    As a college student pursuing a degree in finance, my life was turned upside down when the Providence Police arrested me for a felony. I knew this would have detrimental consequences on my future career and my ability to get into graduate schools. I met with Attorney Humphrey and immediately felt at ease with his professionalism and knowledge of the law. He resolved my case effectively and efficiently, the felony was dismissed, I never sustained a criminal conviction and I never lost my license. My family and I are so thankful for his work on my case. Attorney Humphrey is truly exceptional!

    "???I was arrested for DUI by the RI State Police."
    ​​​I was arrested for DUI by the RI State Police. I failed the field sobriety tests as well as the breathalyzer. Just prior to trial, attorney Humphrey used his knowledge of court procedures and rules, and was able to get my case dismissed. If you're in legal trouble in Rhode Island, he's the man to call.
