Portsmouth DUI Lawyer

Have you been charged with drunk driving?

If you have been arrested for drunk driving, you are facing extremely serious charges that could result in many undesirable consequences, including the loss of your freedom. A Portsmouth DUI attorney from Humphrey Law Offices can provide the skilled and effective representation that you will need to challenge the prosecution's evidence. Attorney Humphrey has over 20 years of legal experience, including working as a prosecutor and municipal court judge. He is currently a Newport County Bail Commissioner and has written many articles for the Rhode Island Bar Journal on DUI legal topics. The firm has successfully represented numerous clients charged with DUI, including first offense DUI and multiple DUI, and can give you sound advice regarding your case.

Challenging DUI test results such as breath tests, field sobriety tests and blood tests is often an important part of the defense strategy for DUI. Many times these tests are incorrectly administered, which can nullify the findings. There can be many other ways to dispute test results which can be explained by an attorney at the firm after they have had a chance to review your case. Once all of your case information has been compiled and analyzed, a comprehensive defense strategy will be mapped out and executed.

Fighting DUI Charges

The penalties for a DUI conviction are based on several factors, including your DUI history, if the DUI involved and accident with injuries and your blood alcohol concentration (BAC). The punishment for second, third and fourth offenses becomes increasingly more severe and can include very steep fines, incarceration in a state prison, mandatory alcohol or drug treatment, license suspension, court-ordered installation of an ignition interlock device and many hours of community service. Hiring a skilled law firm to represent you in a DUI case can significantly affect the outcome of your legal situation, and will increase the chances of a reduction in charges or acquittal. Certain individuals may also qualify for deferred sentencing, which will result in a case dismissal once your program has been completed.
