CHARGE: DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (DUI with BAC Over 0.15)

Attorney Matthew Marin is pleased to report that drunk driving charges brought by a local Rhode Island Police Department were reduced to Reckless Driving and Filed for a period of one year.  The Client had been arrested based on alleged erratic driving and had submitted to a breathalyzer at the Police Station which indicated his blood alcohol content was in excess of 0.15.  We were able to fight the case and successfully negotiate a resolution of the case after a reduction of the charges to Reckless Driving.  The Client was sentenced to a one year filing (stay out of trouble, no arrests), surrender his license for 45 days, and pay court costs.  If you or a loved one is facing DUI charges in Rhode Island, give Attorney Matthew Marin a call for immediate and experienced legal advice and representation.
