Felony Trespass and Resisting Arrest Dismissed

Our offices were contacted by an international student in his early-20s attending a prestigious university in the Pittsburgh area scheduled to graduate in May and start a high-tech job on the west coast. Out celebrating his success with friends our client became intoxicated and called for an Uber ride home. The Uber driver misunderstood our client’s address and left him in front of what our client thought was his home. Our client walked into what he thought was his home and went to sleep. The next morning our client was arrested and charged with trespassing, disorderly conduct, public drunkenness, and resisting arrest. These serious charges carry thousands of dollars in court fees along with mandatory jail sentencing of over one-year. Our clients future would radically change if convicted of these charges against him.

Our Pittsburgh criminal defense attorneys worked hard to defend our client and negotiate favorable terms with the Commonwealth. We secured the dismissal of all charges against our client and all charges expunged from his record. Our client was only required to serve a 90-day good behavior probation period, attend ten Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and perform ten hours of community service. Due to the hard work of our experienced Pittsburgh criminal defense attorneys, we were able to see our client complete his degree, graduate on time and begin his high-tech career.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
