# Can drug charges be dismissed in Rhode Island?

Yes. Drug charges can be dismissed or significantly reduced in Rhode Island in several circumstances, most commonly when evidence was obtained through an unlawful search or seizure and is successfully suppressed, when the prosecution cannot prove the required elements of the charge beyond a reasonable doubt, or when a first-time offender successfully completes a diversion program. An experienced attorney will review every aspect of your case to identify the strongest path toward dismissal or reduction.
