DUI/Traffic Violations

Providence License Suspension and DUI Defense Attorneys

The consequences of a drunk driving conviction can be life-changing, requiring you to retain the type of aggressive representation we provide at Kaplan & Associates Inc. in Providence, Rhode Island. Your ability to legally drive and even work could be on the line and you need an advocate by your side for all aspects of a DUI defense.

At Kaplan & Associates Inc., we recognize that a DUI (or DWI) arrest does not automatically mean that a DUI conviction is imminent. Law enforcement must follow detailed procedures when they initially stop your car and conduct field sobriety and chemical tests. Everything must be done within the law and your rights. If they fail in that obligation, we will work hard to bring that information to light.

When a police officer pulls you over, there must be probable cause for the traffic stop and that probable cause must be proven. Sobriety testing can be subjective and breathalyzer/chemical testing is not infallible. Our knowledgeable lawyers have extensive experience in the area of DUI defense and have successfully handled many cases on behalf of their clients.

Allowing a prosecutor to negotiate a plea prior to you retaining DUI defense counsel is not recommended. While you may want the matter to just go away, it will not. Insurance rates will skyrocket, you may lose your license, and you could be forced to put an Ignition Interlock on your car. Failing to schedule an administrative hearing or choosing to go without representation is not wise as you could lose your license prior to any conviction Those are only a couple out of the many reasons why you should hire a good DUI attorney.
