Public Drunkenness Charge Dismissed, Expunged

Our client was charged with the summary offense of public drunkenness. Although the offense is not punishable with jail time, our client was worried about the effect that a conviction would have on his potential future employment if it showed up on employment background checks. Our client contacted the Pittsburgh criminal defense lawyers at Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys, LLC to help ensure that the public drunkenness charge didn’t harm our client’s future.

Ultimately, we were able to get our client’s public drunkenness charge dismissed and expunged from our client’s record. With the dismissal and expungement, the charge will not affect our client’s ability to get a job.
