   2. Alves Law: Alcohol driving related offenses can have a large impact both in the short and long term. People obtain information from various sources and most times those sources are not attorneys. If you have been charged with such a crime or violation, an attorney can provide very valuable advice regarding how these charges will impact your life. In Rhode Island, first offense breathalizer refusals are civil in nature and handled at the Rhode Island Traffic Tribunal.

    1. Goncalves Law Office: Criminal Defense. Whether you are facing misdemeanor charges like a speeding ticket or DUI or felony charges for assault, you deserve to have your rights protected. Do not try to talk to the judge or prosecutor by yourself. Hire a criminal defense lawyer who knows how to navigate the criminal justice system and can fight for you. Drunk Driving (DUIs) DUI charges can get complicated, particularly when combined with other offenses or a previous record. In Rhode Island, drunk driving is a serious crime. It can result in both immediate penalties and long-term consequences. You could lose your driver's license, be sent to prison, and because it is a criminal offense, even lose your job.
