DUI Refusal Amended to Reckless Driving in Rhode Island

July, 2025

Our client was facing a DUI and Refusal to Submit a Chemical Test in Rhode Island. These are serious charges that, if convicted, may lead to a license suspension, mandatory alcohol classes or treatment, community service and hefty fines. In addition, if you are convicted on the DUI charge you face potential jail time and having a potential criminal record. Knowing how damaging this can be, our attorneys jumped to action.

Our attorneys reviewed all of the video evidence available including the body camera footage. They made sure that the officers followed all the protocols and analyzed the police report.

Armed with the information of the case, our attorneys made strategic negotiations with the prosecution, challenging the evidence that they had. Eventually, they were able to secure a great result. The DUI charges were amended to Reckless Driving and the Refusal charge was dismissed. This significantly reduced the penalties that our client was facing by avoiding a DUI conviction, meaning no alcohol related offenses will be reflected on their record.

At Ellison Law LLC, we understand how damaging a mistake can be. If you’re facing a DUI or refusal charge in Rhode Island, contact our attorneys today.
