DUI Amended to Reckless and 2nd Offense Refusal Dismissed in Rhode Island

December, 2025

Our client was charged with DUI and 2nd offense Refusal to Submit to a Chemical Test in Rhode Island, which could result in potential jail time, a license suspension, probation, community service, fines and potentially having a criminal record. Knowing how damaging this can be, our attorneys jumped to action.

They began their work by reviewing the evidence, including any video footage available and the police report. They also interviewed our client to understand the context of what happened and to ensure the police followed the correct procedures.

Our attorneys went into court and engaged in strategic negotiations with the prosecution. Ultimately, the prosecution agreed to amend the DUI charge to Reckless Driving. This outcome spared our client from having a DUI conviction while minimizing the penalties associated with a DUI. While the 2nd offense refusal charge was dismissed which eliminated extra penalties.
