Our client was charged with Larceny Over $1,500 and Obstruction of Justice in Rhode Island and, if convicted, our client was facing potential jail time, probation, steep fines and having a felony on their record. Knowing how devastating these charges can be, our attorneys quickly started their work.
Our attorneys began by reviewing the evidence, including the police report and witness statements. They also focused on working in mitigation to highlight our client’s background, stability and willingness to take proactive steps.
At multiple court dates, our attorneys presented their findings while highlighting the prosecution’s evidence. After engaging in strategic negotiations, they were able to secure a diversion resolution, meaning an emphasis on rehabilitation and accountability over long term punishment. Once our client successfully finished diversion, the charges were completely dismissed. Then, our attorneys made sure to seal the case to further protect our client’s criminal record.
