DUI Amended to Reckless Driving in Rhode Island

August, 2026

Our client was charged with Driving Under the Influence in Rhode Island and if convicted, they were potentially facing jail time, probation, a license suspension, community service, hefty fines and having a criminal conviction. Knowing how damaging this can be, our attorneys jumped to action.

They started by reviewing all of the evidence available, including the police report, body camera videos, witness statements and analyzed the basis of the original stop to see if the officer followed the correct procedures and correctly applied the tests. They noticed issues with the evidence.

Across multiple court appearances, our attorneys presented their findings while challenging the prosecution’s evidence. Through persistent negotiations, we persuaded the prosecutor to amend the charge to Reckless Driving, helping our client to avoid the consequences of a DUI conviction.
