CHARGE: CARRYING A PISTOL WITHOUT A LICENSE

Attorney Barrett is extremely pleased to report that a Client charged with carrying a pistol without a license – a felony offense – resolved with a three-year deferred sentence.  In Rhode Island, carrying a pistol without a license is a felony offense punishable by up to ten (10) years at the Adult Correctional Institute.  After meeting with the prosecutor handling the case, Attorney Barrett was able to negotiate the favorable three-year deferred sentence on behalf of the Client. The three-year deferred sentence does not constitute a conviction and it allows the Client to have the case fully expunged from his record upon successful completion of the three-year deferred sentence period.

CASE RESULT: THREE YEAR DEFERRED SENTENCE in May 2021
