Proving Your Case

In Rhode Island, you cannot get an expungement unless the court decides that you deserve it. There are several ways to demonstrate to a court that you are deserving of an expungement. Your task, essentially, is to show that you have distanced yourself from your crime and have become a productive member of society. You may be able to accomplish this through:

• Holding a regular job
• Receiving advanced certification in your field
• Performing community service, or otherwise being involved in the community
• Caring for a family or other dependents
• Enrolling in and completing counseling courses
