Possession of Alcohol by a Minor in Rhode Island

While it is widely understood that possession of alcohol by a minor is illegal, it is not uncommon for cities to exploit these charges to generate income. A conviction could have a negative impact on a minor’s education and employability.

As a parent, you are likely very concerned about your child’s well-being while at college, whether on or off campus. It is essential that you hire an attorney who feels the same. At Assalone Lombardi, LLC, our lawyer has more than 27 years of experience helping individuals and their families as they navigate the complexities associated with criminal law.

If your child was charged with possession of alcohol by a minor, you could face three different courts – municipal court, district court and, if a car was involved, the Rhode Island Traffic Tribunal. If this is a repeat offense, your child could face jail time. Juggling these three branches of government is extremely complex. One slip-up could jeopardize your case.
