A felony charge is a more serious criminal charge in Rhode Island. Felony charges can result in penalties such as years in prison, heavy fines, and other severe consequences. Examples of felonies include delivery of narcotics, possession of large amounts of controlled substances, assault and battery resulting in personal injury, white collar crimes, burglary, rape, murder, and arson.

Assault
Simple Assault and Battery in Rhode Island is one of the oldest criminal charges in the Rhode Island General Laws, and understanding the terms is important to understanding how to defend an assault charge. An “assault” is an act that places another person in imminent fear of bodily injury, and a “battery” is any unwanted touching. A person can be charged with simple assault and battery for either of those 2 acts. And if the allegation involves a spouse or partner, law enforcement will charge the case as a domestic assault. Check out this link for more information regarding Rhode Island domestic assault and domestic violence defense.
Murder
An arrestee (or his/her family or friends) gives cash or property to the court to guarantee that the arrestee will appear in court. An arrestee has a right to release on bail for most offenses except murder and violent felonies. If the arrestee appears in court, the amount of bail is refunded.

Restraining Order
Unfortunately, the Judge will also issue a restraining order preventing you from having any contact whatsoever with the alleged victim in your Rhode Island domestic violence case.
Forgery
Have you been contacted by police or law enforcement concerning your business, or financial activities as an employee of a business? Do you have reason to believe you may be investigated for a white collar crime such as embezzlement, theft, forgery or fraud?

Not all Rhode Island criminal defense lawyers are the same, NOT even close, and the outcome of Rhode Island embezzlement and theft charges vary widely depending on your defense attorney’s effectiveness, or ineffectiveness.

Property Damage

Personal Injury
Following too closely: Not only is following too closely perceived as aggressive, but it can also cause you to rear-end someone who has to stop short, resulting in personal injury. Allow for plenty of space in front of you to avoid rear-end collisions.
