"I couldn't be happier with his representation."The first moment I saw him in Court I knew I had hired the right attorney. It was clear that Attorney Humphrey was greatly respected by both the Judge and all the other attorneys in the courtroom. I was impressed that he had written the Rhode Island book on DUI law and other attorneys kept coming up to him and asking for legal advice. He expertly and efficiently handled the DUI and refusal case. I couldn't be happier with his representation.- Sylvia

"I knew I made the right choice"I was so ashamed when I was charged by the State Police with drunk driving while driving home on Thanksgiving night. While I was in court, I had an opportunity to observe Attorney Robert Humphrey handling another DUI case. I said to my husband, that's the attorney for me and I approached him to represent me. I knew I made the right choice when Robert was willing to come to my house to discuss my case since I could not drive because of the Refusal license suspension. His ability to minimize the license suspension and get the charges dropped was so important to me because I recently was hired for a great job in Massachusetts. I was so lucky that there is a great DUI defense lawyer located right here in Tiverton.- Carrie

"Thank you for getting the charges dismissed"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 do not have a criminal record because of him."The Newport police charged me with vandalism. I found Attorney Humphrey online and he immediately started to work on my case. He spoke with the police and the court many times on my behalf. He worked to resolve my case in a professional and efficient manner. The charge was dismissed and he then had it expunged. I do not have a criminal record because of him.- Len
