Recently, an individual in Harris County was charged with prostitution, an offense that is typically charged as a class B misdemeanor and punishable by time in jail, fines, and more. Wanting to avoid the statutory and collateral consequences of a conviction, they reached out to The Law Offices of Ned Barnett for help.
After negotiations with the prosecutor, attorney Ned Barnett was able to obtain his client a sentence of a six-month pre-trial diversion program. After successful completion of the program, the client was able to expunge the offense, therefore removing it from their record.
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.
