Falsification Charge against International Student Dismissed and Expunged

Categories: Theft & Fraud

An international student tried to use a friends ID to get into a local bar. The doorman recognized that the young man was not the same person on the ID and called the police. The police questioned the young man, who confessed and was charged with falsification. A falsification conviction could have had a devastating impact on our client. He was in the United States studying on a visa and a conviction could have led to his deportation or inability to return to the United States to complete his studies. Attorneys with LHA worked tirelessly on his behalf and were able to negotiate the dismissal of his case. After, we filed a motion to expunge his client’s case. The judge granted the motion and the record of the charge was sealed. Our client was able to remain in the United States to complete his studies and his criminal record was wiped clean.

Theft Charge Dismissed

Sometimes people do things that are simply out of character. In this case, a gentleman, who previously had no criminal record, stole items from Walmart and was caught.

Having represented hundreds of people on theft cases, attorneys with LHA understood his situation from the beginning. They went over the game plan on his case and went to work negotiating on his behalf. The theft case was ultimately dismissed and his record will soon be sealed, further distancing him from his onetime mistake.

Housewife Avoids Theft Conviction

Categories: Theft & Fraud

Our client, a housewife and otherwise law abiding citizen was charged with theft from Kohl’s. She was inconsolable about the pending charges and could not have been more remorseful about the situation. She explained that she was just not in her right mind when in the store and even though she had plenty of money to afford the items, chose to try and take them and got caught. The level of embarrassment to her and her family was punishment in and of itself. Her husband contacted the Columbus Criminal Defense team with LHA who were able to articulate her situation and advocate on her behalf. The case was ultimately dismissed upon her complying with a few negotiated conditions and she avoided a theft conviction.
