Hate Crimes in Rhode Island

Hate crimes are generally crimes of violence against individuals or property. Even an act of malicious mischief by a juvenile could be construed to be a hate crime by law enforcement. Prosecutors in Rhode Island are highly interested in prosecuting and convicting anyone involved in such a crime. Police departments throughout the state are required to have training to assist their investigators to recognize and gather evidence that a crime was committed out of bias based on race, color, gender, sexual orientation, religion or ethnic background. In some circumstances the federal government may lend investigative assistance to local authorities or may handle the prosecution of such a case. Obtaining experienced legal representation as soon as you are aware that you are under investigation will allow your hate crime defense lawyer to take immediate steps to develop a powerful defense calculated to gain a positive outcome.

"I knew he was the right person to handle my case."
As a mother and small business owner I knew my life was in trouble when I was charged by the police with drunk driving, driving while in possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, refusal to submit to a chemical test and a laned roadway violation. An attorney friend knew of Attorney Humphrey's reputation with regards to serious drunk driving offenses. From my first meeting with Attorney Humphrey I knew he was the right person to handle my case. Based on his arguments before both the 6 th Division District Court and the Traffic Tribunal, all the charges against me, including even the traffic ticket, were dismissed. Attorney Humphrey's skill prevented me from getting a criminal record or losing my license. I strongly recommend him for anyone in a similar situation.

"It was excellent working with you."
I made a stupid mistake and was charged with a criminal offense. I appreciate how quickly you were able to have the criminal charge dismissed and my record expunged because as a graduating senior I don't want anything on my record that would interfere with me getting a good job. It was excellent working with you.

"I was extremely impressed"
When I was charged with a drunk driving offense after a motor vehicle accident, I was extremely worried because I need my license to drive to work in Massachusetts. I was extremely impressed by Attorney Humphrey's ability to move my case quickly and efficiently through the system and to successfully resolve my case after only two court appearances.
