Avoid DUI Conviction by Hiring a Competent and Experienced Rhode Island DUI Lawyer

A DUI conviction (even for a first offense) is typically regarded as a misdemeanor in most US states, but under some conditions, a DUI may potentially constitute a felony. For instance, felony charges can be brought against a DUI offender who seriously hurts or kills another person. Most drunk driving arrests in Rhode Island, involve misdemeanor charges, which by themselves are more serious than infractions, and it would be in your best interest to seek legal representation from a Rhode Island DUI lawyer like John Grasso if charged accordingly.

John Grasso hails from a law enforcement background as a DUI lawyer as well and now practices law in a range of specialized fields, including DUI cases, sexual assault offenses, violent crimes, divorce cases and drug offenses. He has 14 years of legal experience, is admitted to practice law in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and the Federal District Courts, and is a member of the bar of the United States Supreme Court. He also serves as an adjunct professor at Roger Williams University School of Law, where he teaches criminal litigation and trial advocacy.

“Simply put, if you are facing a DUI charge in Rhode Island, you need the experience and expertise of a Rhode Island DUI lawyer. Also, keep in mind that you are permitted one private call for the purpose of obtaining legal counsel. Therefore, you should make the most of it by procuring competent legal representation.

Our defense attorneys are on call around-the-clock and are well-versed in the legal requirements for a legal DUI motor vehicle stop and subsequent DUI arrest, as well as the problems associated with search and seizure during DUI arrests. They are also very familiar with all technical aspects involved in a DUI arrest and can provide you with the aggressive defense you need to win your case,” John Grasso stated.

Although the penalties for DUI and refusal may differ, the court may impose some minimum punishments or penalties in both cases. However, since the court also has the authority to impose quite severe punishments, John Grasso and his legal team of DUI lawyers make it their mission to seek the minimal sanctions that can be imposed on a client that has been charged with DUI, and they have successfully defended many DUI cases over the years.

When taking on DUI cases, John Grasso draws on his prior experience as a police officer and over the years, he has been highly successful in convincing the court (pretrial) to dismiss Breathalyzer Refusal and DUI cases brought against his clients, especially for arrests that lacked probable cause as a result of a police officer’s failure to adhere to the law in ensuring accurate breathalyzer results.
