DUI Amended to Reckless Driving and Refusal to Submit to a Chemical Test Dismissed in Rhode Island

January, 2026

Our client was charged with Driving Under the Influence and a Refusal to Submit to a Chemical Test in Rhode Island. If found guilty, they were facing potential jail time on the DUI charge, a license suspension, community service, hefty fines and DUI classes. Knowing how this can easily damage our client’s future, our attorneys jumped to action.

They started by gathering all of the evidence, including the police report, any video footage while they interviewed our client to further understand the context of the stop and if the officer followed the right procedures, creating a defense in the process.

In court, our attorneys showed their findings while challenging the prosecution’s evidence. After multiple court dates, the DUI charge was amended to Reckless Driving and the Refusal to Submit to a Chemical Test was fully dismissed, meaning our client was facing less significant penalties.

At Ellison Law LLC, we understand how damaging a mistake can be. If you have received a DUI or refusal charge in Rhode Island, contact our Rhode Island criminal defense attorneys today so we can help protect your rights.
