DUI Amended to Reckless Driving in Rhode Island

Our client was charged with a DUI in Rhode Island, a very serious offense that carries penalties of mandatory DUI classes or substance abuse counseling, a criminal conviction, hefty fines, community service, a license suspension and potential jail time. Knowing the gravity of the charge, our attorneys jumped to action.

They began by examining every piece of evidence including police reports and their body cam footage. They sent subpoenas to other agencies to get more evidence. They also analyzed the circumstances of the stop while they checked if all the protocols and procedures were correctly followed by the police. They also worked closely with our client to understand their point of view of the incident. Our attorneys started to identify weaknesses with the evidence and craft a solid defense. They filed Motions to attack the case.

After considerable effort and multiple court sessions, they were able to achieve an exceptional result: the DUI charge was amended to Reckless Driving. This exceptional result minimized the harsher penalties from the original charge.
