Veteran's Diversion

Rhode Island Veterans Diversion Program Lawyer

In June of 2011, the Rhode Island District Court created a Veterans Diversion Program. The program, spearheaded by Chief Judge Jeanne E. LaFazia, is specifically designed for veterans and active military members who are charged with criminal misdemeanors. Rather than prosecute these cases through the traditional court system, the cases are resolved through an alternative sentencing program, known as Veterans Diversion.

Court personnel in collaboration with the Kent Center review all cases to determine their eligibility for the Veterans Diversion Program. Once a case is accepted into the program, the veteran must complete a counseling/therapy program at the Kent Center. The program includes group therapy session with other veterans in the program. Following the completion of the program, the case is then resolved pursuant to the agreement between the attorney representing the veteran and the attorney representing town/city where the crime occurred.

The goal of the program is to help veterans and active military members reintegrate into society and address any issues resulting from their military service including trauma, PTSD, and other mental health issues.

Attorney Robert H. Humphrey has successfully represented veterans and active military members before the Veterans Diversion Panel. If you or a loved one are a veteran or active military and charged with a criminal offense, it is critical to speak with Attorney Humphrey regarding the Rhode Island Veterans Diversion Program immediately.

Please contact Attorney Robert H. Humphrey, Esq., at 401-816-5862 or e-mail him at rhh@humphreylaw.com.

"I was found not guilty"
I was arrested by the Police and charged with both DUI and Refusal. Attorney Humphrey meticulously examined every aspect of my case and he was able to get the Refusal dismissed immediately. I wanted my day in court and Attorney Humphrey expertly prepared my DUI case for trial. Due to Attorney Humphrey's skill and experience I was found not guilty after trial and I never lost my license. Because of Attorney Humphrey I was able to keep my job.

"Attorney Humphrey really is the best DUI lawyer in RI."
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.

"On behalf of our whole family, thank you for your dedication and hard work."
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.
