Frequently Asked Questions

Am I eligible to clear my record in Rhode island?

It depends on the offense, the outcome and how much time has passed. A lawyer can check eligibility quickly.

Expungement vs. sealing — what's the difference?

Expungement generally destroys or erases the record; sealing hides it from the public. States use different terms and rules.

Should I talk to the police before I have a lawyer?

You have the right to stay silent and to ask for a lawyer. Politely say you want to speak with an attorney before answering questions.

How soon should I hire a criminal defense lawyer in Rhode island?

As soon as you're charged or know you're being investigated. Early help can affect bail, evidence and whether charges are filed at all.

Can a criminal charge be dismissed?

Sometimes — for weak evidence, an illegal stop or search, or through programs like pretrial diversion. A local defense lawyer can tell you what's realistic for your case.
