Good people make mistakes too, and getting arrested for any crime in Rhode Island is a terrifying experience. Finding the best RI criminal defense attorney to defend you in your criminal case is one of the most important decisions you will make in life. All criminal defense lawyers are NOT the same, not even close, and the outcomes in criminal cases, including penalties, vary greatly depending on the criminal lawyer defending you.

Report
Good people make mistakes too. If you are reading this because you or a loved one has been arrested and charged with a chemical test refusal, also known as breathalyzer test refusal, you need to have the best Rhode Island Breath Test Refusal attorney to defend you against this civil infraction.

My 4 years of experience with breath test refusal cases first as a State prosecutor with the Rhode Island Department of Attorney General, coupled with my 24 years of experience as a chemical test refusal lawyer has provided me with experience and knowledge not available to the majority of chemical test refusal lawyers.I use this unique experience to aggressively defend Clients charged with a RI chemical test refusal case.
Hardship License
Report
As a DUI defense attorney, I know that being arrested for a DUI charge or a breath test refusal charge is a terrifying experience. For most folks, the biggest concern is suspension of driver's license. And that is with good reason, because any conviction on one of these 2 charges carries a mandatory loss of driving privileges.
