Expungement Pending For A 19-Year-Old Man’s Drug Conviction

A 19-year-old restaurant manager from Bethel, PA was charged with possession of a small amount of marijuana. The young man was facing a possible 30-days in jail, a 90-day license suspension, and did not want to see his future job opportunities jeopardized by a drug conviction; therefore, he contacted the marijuana attorneys at Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys, LLC.

Pittsburgh attorney Matthew Ness, strategically negotiated with the arresting officer and all the parties agreed the client would perform 20 hours of community service rather than receiving jail time or a license suspension, and upon their completion, the drug conviction would be withdrawn. We are now in the expungement process, which will allow our client to put this incident behind him.

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.
