What is the Difference Between a Misdemeanor and Felony Crime?
The main difference between these two criminal offenses will be the severity of the penalties. Misdemeanor crimes are punishable for up to one (1) year imprisonment and up to $1,000.00 fine, whereas a felony crime is punishable by more than one (1) year imprisonment and more than $1,000.00 fine. If you have been charged with a misdemeanor or felony crime, be sure to contact a hard-hitting criminal lawyer without delay.

Around Thanksgiving, I was charged by the Middletown Police with drunk driving. My parents knew about Attorney Humphrey's reputation so we immediately set up an appointment with him. He expertly reviewed the facts in my case and got me a great disposition. I couldn't be happier and I want to thank him for everything.- Kim

I had never been in any trouble with the law before when a co-worker accused me of stealing. The police arrested me and charged me with larceny. Attorney Humphrey helped me navigate through the unfamiliar legal process with ease. He believed in my innocence and was prepared to take my case to trial. However, I never had to go to trial because he successfully persuaded the Prosecution to dismiss the charge. His efforts were outstanding and I am so happy that I hired Attorney Humphrey to represent me.- Steven

When I was charged with drunk driving, I was on the fence about contacting a lawyer because I assumed there was nothing anyone could do for me. As a pilot, I was anticipating that my career was over. It was very fortunate that I contacted Attorney Humphrey because he had the drunk driving charge dismissed. A clean criminal record allows me to continue with my career. If you are charged with drunk driving, don't give up hope. Instead, contact Robert H. Humphrey, Esq.- Jim

Thank you for your excellent representation in both my Gun charge and weapons other than firearms cases. You worked tirelessly to get me out of jail and home to my wife. In the end you were able to get both charges dismissed so I could get back to work and on with my life. I will highly recommend you to everyone.- Marc

I was involved in a head on accident in Providence while driving my friend’s car. I broke my wrist and everyone else was seriously injured so I and my family feared the worst. Thankfully my father, who is also a lawyer, found you to represent me. I cannot believe you were able to get the criminal charges against me dropped. I was so scared that my future would be ruined by one bad night. Thank you very very much.- Gloria

On behalf of Megan and myself, I wanted to thank you for your excellent representation of her with her Richmond DUI charge. You were always available for both of us to answer our questions. You did an excellent job in getting her extremely high breath test results suppressed so she could get a great disposition. We would highly recommend you to any family with a Rhode Island criminal charge.- Richard & Megan

Thank you for taking my daughter’s case. When she was charged by the Richmond police with a DUI, I was concerned that she would lose her ability to travel and to take her dream job overseas. You expertly and efficiently resolved her case so she can move forwards with her life and career. Our family cannot thank you enough.- Kimberly

My faith has increased tenfold because of your representation. When I was charged with drunk driving, refusal, and numerous traffic violations, my life had taken a turn for the worst. All that changed when I spoke with an attorney who referred me to you because of your reputation in the legal community for excellence. Your efficient and successful resolution of my cases before both the District Court and the Traffic Tribunal is further evidence that I am truly blessed. I want everyone to know what you have done for me.- Steve
