# How long does a felony assault case take to resolve in Rhode Island?

Most felony assault cases in Rhode Island resolve within about 6 to 18 months from arrest to disposition. Cases that go to trial can take longer, especially when continuances or scheduling delays come up. Aggressive pretrial motions can sometimes move a case faster, and in some situations resolve it before trial through suppression or negotiation.
