HE SAVED MY CDL! I was enrolled in CDL school when I was charged with both DUI and a Refusal charge. I learned from the school that either charge would prevent me from receiving my CDL. I hired Attorney Humphrey and after a few court appearances and him filing some motions, both charges were dismissed. If you are in fear of losing your license or not getting a CDL, you should give him a call. I can't thank him enough for everything he did for me.- Damian

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

After being involved in a multi-car accident on 195 in Providence, I tried going it alone with the insurance companies. Fortunately, a family member who Attorney Humphrey had represented in the past referred me to him. Attorney Humphrey and Attorney Petta were with me every step of the way, he negotiated with the other drivers' insurance companies and my insurance company. He even convinced my medical providers to reduce their liens so I got the maximum amount possible as a settlement. I would highly recommend him to friends and family.- Emily

I know I have said this so many times, but I hope you both you and Attorney Petta know how much I appreciate all that you have done for me. I was a complete stranger yet you both were there for me during such a disturbing and extremely emotional time. Thank you for your kindness, professionalism, and trustworthiness. I have met very few people in my life who are as competent and caring as the both of you.- Noel

We were on the verge of getting married when an argument resulted in me being arrested for domestic disorderly conduct and domestic simple assault. My fiancee and I were coming home from a party when we got into a verbal disagreement. A neighbor saw us arguing on the side of the road and called the police. I had never been in trouble and this was the worst moment of my life. My fiancee and I cannot thank you enough for your courtesy and attention to my case. You were always available when we called and you calmly and expertly guided us through this extremely difficult time. Thank you for getting the charges dismissed and expunged from my records so we can move on with our married life without this cloud hanging over our heads. You are the best and we will be recommending you to all of our friends.- Matt

I was charged by the Jamestown Police after an accident and I had readings three times the legal limit. This couldn’t have happened at a worst time since I was in the process of graduating from college. Somehow you were able to get the breath test results suppressed so I could get a great outcome. Thank you so very much.- Haley

A great day of golf ended when I was stopped by the North Smithfield Police and charged with DUI. I appreciate your ability to get the DUI charge dismissed. Although this was an unpleasant situation, I really appreciate everything that you did for me.- Frank

My daughter has been a true gift to our family. She is a remarkable young woman. When she was involved in a DUI accident with serious bodily injuries to three pedestrians in Newport, our family knew she would most likely go to jail and her bright wonderful future was over. However, you were able to get the charges against our daughter amended to lesser charges and kept her out of prison. On behalf of our whole family, thank you for your dedication and hard work.- Jennifer
