The challenge here as with any question is that there are no magic words you can speak that will open up the realm of valhalla. Getting charges dismissed is certainly possible, but it takes careful review of the facts. Many of these double transactions are so that cash can be pocketed. If they didn't find money on you that is certainly good for your case. There may be other factors however, that are not so good for you. The Commonwealth rarely just dismisses charges where they believe that they had probable cause to charge you in the first place. The best, and often only way, to get charges dismissed is to win at trial.
Your best bet is to hire a local attorney who is familiar with such matters. They will be able to walk you through the particulars.
