Resolution: Mr. Gempeler successfully obtained an expungement of a 2012 matter in which the client was convicted of misdemeanor disorderly conduct and underage consumption. A charge of obstruction of legal process was dismissed at that time, making this matter one involving disobedience to the police – i.e. one that courts are reluctant to expunge typically. The success hinged on Mr. Gempeler’s ability to work with his client to build and improve the case by getting several letters of recommendation, transcripts, treatment records, and a diligent review of the 12-factors in the petition paperwork.
