Charged with drunk driving?

Humphrey Law Offices is a respected DUI defense firm with many years of experience representing clients charged with drunk driving or driving under the influence of drugs. This includes cases involving first offense DUI as well as multiple DUI. Attorney Humphrey has been practicing law for over 20 years and is a skilled DUI defense lawyer. He is a former prosecutor that currently services as a Newport County Bail commissioner - a neutral magistrate at the beginning of a defendant's criminal proceedings. He has written numerous articles for the Rhode Island Bar Journal covering topics such as drunk driving and DUI test refusal.

Fighting DUI charges is extremely important, even in misdemeanor cases. A first offense with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) or 0.08% but less than 0.10% can result in penalties of up to a year in jail, fines of up to $300 plus court costs, from 10 to 60 hours of community service, mandatory participation in a drug or alcohol treatment program, and a 1 to 6 month license suspension. If this is your 1st, 2nd or 3 rd offense, your BAC is extremely high, your DUI involved an accident that resulted in injuries or fatalities or there was a minor in the car at the time of your arrest, the consequences will be much more serious. Taking the time to speak with a Warwick DUI attorney at the firm is strongly advised so your case can be properly assessed and your defense options fully explained.

DUI Cases in Warwick

The evidence in DUI cases typically include the results of all of your DUI tests, including field sobriety tests, breath tests and blood tests. Many times the test findings can be challenged due to improper testing procedures or the use of faulty equipment. The firm will make sure that your tests are independently reviewed, and will take other actions to prevent a guilty verdict. They also provide vigorous representation at DMV hearings, which need to be scheduled within 10 days after your arrest. If you fail to arrange or show up at the hearing, your driver's license will be automatically suspended. Choosing the right attorney to represent you in your DUI case is important. The firm is extremely knowledgeable in this specialized area of law, and will do everything they can to achieve the best possible results in your case.
