Bank & Munns is Rhode Island’s most-reviewed criminal defense firm — over 1,300 five-star Google reviews and recognition as one of the top-rated DUI and criminal defense practices in the state. Our attorneys have 13+ years of combined trial experience in every Rhode Island District Court: Providence, Kent, Washington, and Newport counties.
For misdemeanor defense specifically, local experience is the difference between a generic plea and a favorable outcome. We know:
- Which prosecutors will negotiate diversion on a first offense
- Which judges accept filings versus demanding a plea
- Which police departments have recurring Fourth Amendment issues that create suppression opportunities
- Which defenses move the needle on stops, searches, and charging documents
We handle the full misdemeanor spectrum: DUI, simple assault, domestic simple assault, shoplifting, disorderly conduct, driving on suspended, drug possession, vandalism, trespass, and dozens more.
Every case gets a free consultation, a flat-rate quote (no hourly surprises), and direct attorney access — you won’t be passed to a paralegal or stuck on voicemail. Our goal in every misdemeanor case is the cleanest possible outcome in this order: dismissal, diversion, reduced charge, favorable plea. That’s how we’ve built our reputation in Rhode Island.
