How About DUI Cases?

Rhode Island DUI law is very specific and very complicated. If you have been charged with a misdemeanor DUI or a felony DUI in Rhode Island, you absolutely need the best RI DUI lawyer as your legal representation. A conviction for a Rhode Island DUI can carry jail time, hefty fines and costs, mandatory community service, mandatory attendance and completion of DUI classes, and a significant loss of your license to operate a motor vehicle. A Rhode Island DUI case is no joke, and requires an experienced and knowledgeable Rhode Island DUI attorney to prepare the best DUI defense.

Can I Be Arrested for Possession of Marijuana in Rhode Island?

The marijuana laws have drastically changed across the country and specifically in Rhode Island. Today, Rhode Island has established marijuana legalization for possession of cannabis in small amounts and for personal and recreational use. Rhode Island also has approved the use of marijuana for medical purposes.

What does a DWI lawyer do?

In general, a DUI/DWI lawyer fights to expunge the charges against a defendant or otherwise limit and reduce the punishment one faces. A member of the S. Joshua Macktaz, Esq. legal team has in-depth understanding of RI DUI laws and defense strategies.

Do expunged records show up on background checks?

It depends. While expungement is meant to stay off public records. However, private records may contain this information. Depending on the company running your background check, this information may still appear on the report.

More information can also be found on the FAQ page of our website.
