Being arrested for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) can be a very worrying time. Stress can become overwhelming, especially when there are other factors to take into consideration. DUI charges often come with additional charges, which can complicate your unique case. This is why it's essential to call on a Rhode Island DUI lawyer with years of experience practicing in Rhode Island and in the Federal District Courts.

Charges for a first DUI conviction can change your life. You can be subject to a fine of up to $500, you may be required to complete up to sixty hours of community service and in some instances, you can lose your license for up to eighteen months. Additional convictions can change this and become a serious problem for you in the long run. Being charged with a DUI conviction can ruin your life, which is why you want a reputable legal representative by your side from the start.

Not understanding the legal process can make this a very unsettling time. John R Grasso and his team have extensive experience working on DUI cases. They provide top-notch representation to clients, offering a complete service from initial investigations to final resolution. Drunk driving charges can carry very serious consequences, including license suspension, jail time, license termination and fines.

The experienced team at the Law Offices of John R Grasso work hard behind the scenes, gathering essential evidence to identify if it is possible that the case could be changed to a reckless driving charge. Reckless driving is considered a misdemeanor and carries a lesser penalty in the long run than a DUI. A common violation that John R Grasso and his team work with is for clients who have refused to give a breathalyzer. Breathalyzer refusal charges can include a five-year suspended license, jail time and up to $1,000 in fines.

Blake Nolan, the Media Consultant for John R Grasso, said “In Rhode Island, a driver is allowed to refuse the field test, but they cannot refuse a breathalyzer.
