My military career means the world to me and I was due to re-enlist when I was charged by the Woonsocket police with DUI. I have worked very hard to have a successful military career and I was informed by my superiors that a DUI charge could result in my ineligibility for re-enlistment. You have done a great service to both me and my family by getting the criminal charge amended to a non-criminal charge of reckless driving with a minimal loss of license. I knew when I hired you that you had a great reputation in the military community and now I see why. If any of my family or friends ever need an attorney in Rhode Island, I will be sure to tell them that you are great!- Nicole

Mr. Humphrey and his staff did a fantastic job resolving my case in a timely and effective manner. I highly recommend him to anyone with legal troubles and would not hesitate to work with him in the future should I ever have the need.- Bob

When the State Police charged me with drunk driving, my supervisor at work placed me on unpaid administrative leave because my job depends of having my license and a clean criminal record. Thanks to Robert H. Humphrey, Esq., the State Police DUI charge was amended to reckless driving so I never received a criminal conviction and I never lost my license. Attorney Humphrey really is the best DUI lawyer in RI.- Slade

I am a teacher for adults with special needs. Being charged by the South Kingstown police with a DUI could have made keeping my employment very difficult. Thank you for getting the DUI charge dismissed so quickly. I would highly recommend you to anyone who needs a great DUI lawyer.- Haley

We would like to thank you Mr. Humphrey, and your staff for all your hard work in our daughter's legal case. You were both professional and supportive at a difficult time. As parents, it was very reassuring to receive the correspondence and frequent updates. She learned a great deal from this experience, as well. It was wonderful to receive your last letter indicating that her record was expunged. Thanks again.- Marie

I was at a friend's house for a summertime barbeque when I fell on their multi-level deck. The fall resulted in multiple fractures to my elbow and thus began my long and arduous journey to recovery. I was transferred to Charlton Memorial Hospital for two days and then to Boston Medical Center for surgery involving a metal plate with clamps and screws. After ten days, I was transferred to a rehabilitation center for approximately three months. There I needed assistance with all my daily needs. Even after I was discharged, I had to live with family because of the extent of my injuries. When I contacted Attorney Humphrey he immediately visited me at the rehabilitation center and set my mind at ease. Despite the severity of my injuries, the insurance company was unwilling to make a reasonable settlement offer. Attorney Humphrey never stopped pursuing my claim against the insurance company and won me a great settlement. In a word, Bob is simply the "Best!"- Jeanne

As a senior in college, I was looking forward to graduation. I never expected to get arrested for drunk driving. I was very concerned about this incident impacting my future plans. I am grateful that you were able to get the charge dismissed. Now I can have a clean record when applying for jobs. Thank you for all of your hard work. I really appreciate it!- Ted

When I was charged with drunk driving and refusal after an accident on the highway I thought my life was over. I have a CDL and drive for a living and I knew I would never be able to afford to live if I lost my CDL for a year. I knew no one would hire me as a commercial driver with a DUI or refusal on my record. However, you did the impossible, you got both the DUI and refusal dismissed and saved my career. Words cannot express my appreciation for all your efforts.- Tracy
