Resisting Arrest and Trespassing Dismissed After Attending Mental Health Treatment Court in Rhode Island

Our client was charged with resisting arrest and trespassing in Rhode Island. They were facing potential jail time, probation, fines and having criminal convictions on their record. Knowing how damaging this can be, our attorneys jumped to action.

They created a defense by reviewing all of the evidence available including the police report, witness statements and had multiple interviews with our client to understand the timeline of events. Our attorneys were able to get our client into the Mental Health Treatment Court program.

The Rhode Island Mental Health Treatment Court program is designed for people whose involvement with the criminal justice system is connected to mental health issues. Instead of solely focusing on punishment, this court offers access to treatments, support and structure.

After our client showed up to all of their scheduled court-appointed treatments and complied with all of the requirements of the court, the case was fully dismissed, giving them a chance to move forward with a clean slate.

At Ellison Law LLC, we believe in holistic legal representation, which means we look at not just legal issues but also how we can support our clients overall wellbeing. If you have received criminal charges in Rhode Island, contact our criminal defense attorneys today.
