Lewdness in the subway charges dropped and lowered down to non-criminal violation (Manhattan)

Our client was observed allegedly engaging in lewd auto-erotic behavior in the subway. When arrested, the police claimed that our client was intoxicated. Our client contacted us for help and was nervous about going to jail, a criminal record, and because our client wasn’t a citizen, he was worried about possible immigration consequences from any outcome. After we fought in court for several months, we were able to negotiate a deal with the prosecutor to have the criminal charges dropped and covered by a guilty plea only to a non-criminal violation called disorderly conduct along with some counseling. There was no jail, no criminal record, and no probation.
