DUI Amended to Reckless Driving and Refusal Dismissed in Rhode Island

Our client was charged with DUI and Refusal to Submit to a Chemical Test in Rhode Island, facing potential jail time, probation and a criminal conviction on the DUI charge and a license suspension, community service, hefty fines and alcohol education/substance abuse classes on both the DUI and Refusal charges. Understanding how damaging this can be, our attorneys jumped to action.

They started by reviewing all of the evidence, including the police report and body camera videos. To properly build a timeline of events, they analyzed the basis for the original stop to see if the officer followed all of the proper procedures.

Throughout multiple court dates, our attorneys presented their findings while challenging the prosecution’s evidence. After negotiations with the prosecution, the prosecutor agreed to amend the DUI to Reckless Driving while fully dismissing the Refusal charge, allowing our client to avoid the penalties associated with a DUI and Refusal charge.
