# Can a white collar conviction be expunged in Rhode Island?

White collar felony convictions are not eligible for expungement under R.I. Gen. Laws § 12-1.3-2. Some misdemeanor white collar convictions may be eligible after a waiting period. The expungement statute is narrow and offense-specific - a defense lawyer should evaluate eligibility based on the specific conviction.
