DUI Amended to Reckless Filing and Refusal Dismissed in Rhode Island

May, 2026

Our client was charged with DUI and Refusal to Submit to a Chemical Test in Rhode Island. If convicted, they were facing potential jail time, probation, a license suspension, hefty fines and having a misdemeanor on their record. Knowing how damaging this can be, our attorneys immediately jumped to action.

They started by analyzing all of the evidence in the case. While preparing for the court dates, they also made sure to conduct interviews with our client to further understand the context of the alleged event.

During multiple court appearances, our attorneys presented the facts of the case while arguing against the penalties. After negotiating with the prosecution, we were able to get the refusal charge dismissed while we amended the DUI to Reckless Driving with a one year filling without a loss of license. If our client is able to avoid getting any of new charge, they will be eligible for a dismissal of the Reckless Driving charge after a year.
