Trespassing Dismissed Over City and Complaining Witness’ Objection in Rhode Island

Our client received a Not Guilty Filing on a Willful Trespass charge over the city and complaining witness’ objection in Rhode Island. Penalties for being found guilty of this charge include fines up to $1,000, up to 1 year in jail, probation, and a criminal conviction. A not guilty filing in Rhode Island is when the court gives a defendant an opportunity to stay out of trouble for a certain period of time and if they do so, the case is dismissed and can be expunged.

Our team worked tirelessly from the beginning of the case to achieve this great outcome. We gathered discovery and ensured we had all of the necessary documents. Our attorneys then attended numerous court dates, and negotiated with the prosecutor to present arguments and highlight mitigating factors.

Ultimately, the judge carefully considered all of the evidence and arguments presented. The judge then sided with us over the objection of the complaining witness and the city. Our client then received a not guilty filing.
