Felony Shoplifting Amended to Misdemeanor and Dismissed Upon Completion of Mental Health Treatment in Rhode Island

February, 2026

Our client was originally charged with Felony Shoplifting in Rhode Island, facing very serious consequences if convicted. They were facing potential jail time, probation, fines and having a felony on their record. Our attorneys know how damaging these penalties are so they jumped to action.

Our attorneys reviewed the police report while making sure to analyze the video footage. They also conducted extensive interviews with our client to understand the context of what happened, creating a solid defense.

After negotiating, the prosecutors agreed to amend the felony to a misdemeanor and, as part of the resolution, our client agreed to address their underlying mental health issues with a treatment plan.

Our client took proactive steps to participate in their mental health treatment with the court by complying with the program. After completing it, the case was fully dismissed.
