About

     My name is Michael J. Zarrella and I have been a criminal defense and DUI defense attorney for 20 years in the State of Rhode Island.  I have been helping people with their legal issues for over 2 decades.  I engage in the legal practice of all aspects of criminal law from petty misdemeanors to capital cases such as rape, murder and robbery.  I have had numerous jury trial victories as well as a successful track record of getting cases dismissed or reduced to lesser charges.      Much of my criminal defense practice deals with drunk driving defense.  I am considered one of the foremost accomplished and experienced attorneys in DUI law in Rhode Island.  Many attorneys often turn to me for complex questions regarding DUI and Refusal cases.  I have a long and illustrious track record of getting DUI cases dismissed or reduced to lesser charges.    If you hire me, I will fight endlessly to get you the best disposition possible.

I got into a really bad car accident totaling my car by hitting a memorial city stone. I got charged with a DUI for driving under the influence and having an open container inside my car. Michael Zarrella got it reduced to reckless driving and loss of license for 30 days. Within the year, he got this off my record completely. He is a great person to have in your corner, great representation, he returns your phone calls, is truth worthy and honest, and always kept me informed about the situation. I would recommend him and have recommended him to others since.

Mr. Zurrella is an awesome attorney. I was referred to him by a friend of mine after I got a DUI back in January. I blew a .175/.176 double the limit and I walked away with no DUI charge and a wreckless driving instead. No DUI classes and only a one time court fee. I highly recommend Mr. Zarrella if you ever need an attorney.

I hired a attorney before reaching out to Mike , That was my 2nd mistake , My first was a refusal charge . My first attorney was money hungry and put no effort into my charge and as a result my charge was a huge issue in the courts , I called mike immediately and he helped me so much that It would be a novel if it was all written on here! All I can say is Mike is knowledgeable , honest and will tell you exactly what your options are and he knows the law more than I witnessed from other attorneys.. I hope to never be in trouble again , but believe me I keep his number on speed dial as security..

It was a bad situation for me. I had just been arrested for a third DUI. It was bleak. My girlfriend encouraged my to hire an attorney. I was recommended by a friend that knew him. I met with Michael and he looked over the police report. He told me he would get back to me the next day, he had an idea. The next morning he gave me a call and said that there was no probable cause. He was confident that we could win the case. We had our day in court and the charges were dropped. If I did not hire him I would be in a bad place, I appreciate what Michael did for me. I highly recommend him. He is a fantastic Lawyer!
