Illegal Dumping Charges To Be Expunged For Two Carnegie Mellon University Students

The legal services of our Pittsburgh criminal defense attorneys were recently called upon after two college students at Carnegie Mellon University threw out their garbage from their apartment without any thought. As it turns out, the dumpster which they used for their disposal was private property. They were consequently cited for illegal dumping. Both students were studying architecture without any prior convictions on their record. Looking at a significant fine of up to $500, the two students were hopeful in maintaining a record free of any scarring.

At once, the two students sought out the professionals at Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys, LLC. Pittsburgh criminal defense attorney Matthew Ness represented the women and negotiated for only 15 hours of community service and it was accepted by all parties. Our clients are currently in the expungement process and should not see any repercussions appear on their records.
