Disorderly Conduct Results in No Probation

After drinking entirely too much, a young OSU student made a series of very poor decisions. Those decisions culminated in him entering a sorority house uninvited. The police were called. The young man found himself charged with fictitious ID, underage possession of alcohol, criminal damaging, disorderly conduct and criminal trespass. His case was scheduled in Franklin County Municipal Court.

After sobering up, the young man was understandably devastated. He was embarrassed by his actions and genuinely concerned for his future. The young man’s father began researching criminal defense attorneys in the Columbus area that might be able to help his son with the disorderly conduct and other charges. After speaking with attorney Ben Luftman, the Columbus Criminal Defense team was hired to represent his son on the case.

Attorneys with LHA represented the student in the case. After eight court dates, we were able to resolve the case. All of the charges were dismissed, except the disorderly conduct charge. Our client was not placed on probation. In one year, we will be able to come back and file a motion to seal or expunge the record of the case. After the case is sealed, it will be removed from his criminal background and he will once again have a clean slate. This will occur prior to his graduation and will allow him to move forward confidently.
