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 have met very few people in my life who are as competent and caring as the both of you."
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.

"Your ability to resolve my case quickly so I could drive again is greatly appreciated."
I knew my 20+ year career in the Navy was over when I was charged by Middletown Police with DUI and refusal to submit to a chemical test. You were recommended by other Navy personnel for your great work for them. Your ability to resolve my case quickly so I could drive again is greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend you to any other military personnel or civilian if they are charged with DUI or Refusal.

"His efforts were outstanding and I am so happy that I hired Attorney Humphrey"
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.
