He has extensive knowledge of the state driving laws and court proceedings in order to provide you the help necessary to protect your rights and your child.
RI DUI Child Endangerment Penalties
In Rhode Island, any child endangerment charge is considered serious. The courts are inclined to be merciless when a child’s welfare is thought to be at risk or the consistent subject of neglect.
According to Rhode Island General Laws, “Any person over the age of eighteen (18) who is convicted under this section for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, other drugs, or a combination of these, while a child under the age of thirteen (13) years was present as a passenger in the motor vehicle when the offense was committed, may be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not more than one year, and further, shall not be entitled to the benefit of suspension or deferment of this sentence.” Along with these penalties, the defendant is at risk of losing custodial or visitation rights and subject to family court orders, which can be devastating for families.
