Lewd Charges Dropped Prior to Trial

One of the Umansky Law Firm's recent clients was charged with lewd and lascivious conduct after law enforcement received a complaint from a citizen. The complaint stated the client was allegedly having sexual intercourse in a vehicle in a parking lot.

Law enforcement officers approached the vehicle and allegedly observed the client with his pants down and exposed. Law enforcement also observed a female passenger in the same manner as the client.

The female claimed the client agreed to give her money in exchange for sexual favors. The client denies he had ever agreed to pay her for any sexual act. Both the client and the female passenger were subsequently arrested.

Formal charges were filed against the client by the state. However, attorney Zahra Umansky provided case law to the prosecutor and convinced the prosecutor to nol pros, or to drop the charges, prior to trial.

What seems like a good idea at the time may be a decision that comes back to haunt you for life. While many are caught up in the moment, considering how your actions might affect you in the long run is important. Otherwise, you, too, may need a good criminal defense attorney.

If you have been charged with a criminal offense in Orange County or Orlando, Florida, or anywhere else in the state of Florida, please contact the experienced criminal defense attorneys at the Umansky Law Firm.
