DUI and Refusal to Submit to Chemical Test Dismissed in Rhode Island

One of our clients, a military veteran, was charged with DUI and Refusal to Submit to a Chemical Test in Rhode Island. These charges carry severe potential consequences including license suspension, fines, mandatory DUI lessons or substance abuse counseling, a possible installation of an Ignition Interlock Device and even the, a potential criminal conviction and possibility of jail time. Understanding the serious implications of the charges, our attorneys jumped to work.

They reviewed the evidence including police reports, video footage and analyzed the police protocols and procedures to make sure that they were correctly followed. They also worked with our client to understand the circumstances surrounding the incident to identify potential mitigation factors. Additionally, given our client’s veteran status, they worked to ensure that our client was evaluated for the Veterans Treatment Court program. The Veterans Treatment Court is specifically designed to provide support and services to veterans struggling with underlying issues such as substance abuse or PTSD.

Our client committed to the program, undergoing counseling, treatment and other rehabilitative measures under court supervision. This dedication was instrumental in resolving the case since both charges were dismissed and sealed. This gave our client a chance to move forward with their life with both a clean criminal record and driving record.
