Making a False Statement, Unsworn Falsification Charges Withdrawn

Our client applied to buy a firearm and was denied. He filled out a challenge form, and after being told he was ineligible to purchase a firearm ended up being charged with making a false statement in relation to an application for the sale or transfer of a firearm, a third-degree felony. He also was charged with an unsworn falsification to authorities offense, a third-degree misdemeanor.

Our client was worried about the consequences of being charged with a felony and misdemeanor, and turned to our Pittsburgh criminal defense lawyers for representation. We were able to discuss the making a false statement and unsworn falsification charges with the police officer. We reached an agreement for the charges to be withdrawn in exchange for our client pleading to a summary disorderly conduct charge.

We are now in the process of expunging the making a false statement and unsworn falsification charges from our client’s record.
