CHARGE: Felony Possession of a Schedule I–V Controlled Substance (2008)
On June 4, 2026, the Providence Superior Court granted the client’s Motion for Expungement, clearing a 2008 felony conviction for Possession of a Schedule I–V Controlled Substance and removing the matter from the client’s criminal record.
A felony drug conviction carries serious and lasting consequences, including a permanent criminal record, mandatory disclosure obligations, and significant barriers to employment, housing, and professional licensing. Even decades after a case has been resolved and all penalties satisfied, a felony conviction can continue to follow a person and limit important opportunities.
After the required statutory waiting period had passed and the client remained in full compliance with all court-ordered conditions, Attorney Morgan Alger filed a Motion for felony expungement in Rhode Island in Providence Superior Court. The petition established the client’s eligibility for expungement under Rhode Island law and moved the matter through the Rhode Island expungement process, demonstrating the client’s rehabilitation and positive record in the years since the conviction.
The Court granted the Motion, allowing the client to move forward without the burden of a prior felony drug conviction.
