Non-Citizen Has Solicitation Charges Dismissed

Posted On: October 30th, 2013

Those living in our country who are not yet citizens but have goals to become a citizen must take very cautionary measures whenever charged with a criminal offense.  The wrong conviction(s) can ultimately deny non-citizens of their dream to become a citizen of our great country.  This was explained by the LHA attorneys when a gentleman was referred from a prior client happy with our results.  The gentleman was in the process of becoming a citizen.  Sometimes that process can take a substantial amount of time.  While he was working on this, he found himself in an embarrassing situation as he acted out of character.  He began conversation with a woman who was holding herself out to be a prostitute, while in reality she was an undercover vice cop.  In a split second bad decision, he agreed to pay her for sex.

This poor choice immediately landed him with a solicitation charge, a first degree misdemeanor at a time that was less than ideal. His case was scheduled in Franklin County Municipal Court. Having no criminal history, he reached out to his friend who referred him to LHA.  We explained his likely options and the consequences of simply pleading guilty.  He determined it was necessary to have our firm represent him.  We were able to negotiate a dismissal during the arraignment.  This will keep his criminal record as clean as it was prior to his momentary lapse in judgment.
