I need some advice on what to do next, I would appreciate it if you can leave the nasty rude comments out, please don't judge. It says that the reason it got denied is because of a prostitution arrest back in I've never engaged in prostitution, my arrest was a complete misunderstanding. It also says I'm eligible to seek relief under a Waiver. I have an attorney, I won't be able to contact her untill Monday, now I'm trying to see if anyone went trough the same thing, or has some good advice before I talk to my attorney.

I think they'd reject another filing, but your lawyer might know mor. On the question on the I where it asks if you've ever been arrested, detained, etc, what did you answer? Wow very sorry to hear that. Maybe because you answered NO to that question.
Since you have the option to re open the case, I wouldn't worry too much.. Hope you have a good lawyer to help you through it all. It might not make a difference in the long run, but were you actually taken into custody, charged, booked, and had to appear in court?
Do you have any paperwork from the incident, either from the police station or the court? Hopefully your lawyer can sort it out. I'm sorry, this must be very scary for you. Securing counseling was the right thing to do here. There are several reasons cases are dismissed in court and that may be one way by which to address you motion to reconsider you AOS. If your case was dismissed in court, the transcripts of the hearing might help for they should contain the evidence presented by the DA and also, and most importantly the ruling and the reasons the judge presented to support the court's ruling.
It seems to me, not knowing all the details, that the USCIS jumped the gun in your case, so having your lawyer intervene and present your case with legal baking should help you get approved.
