Home Health Aid Not Guilty of Abuse

In Allegheny County, Pittsburgh defense attorney Samir Sarna represented a home care aid, who was charged with abusing a patient. Aside from the potential harm to their career, a conviction would almost certainly result in jail time.

Despite having the incident on video, attorney Sarna moved forward with a bench trial and argued that what happened did not warrant criminal charges. While the experience was difficult for the client, the judge agreed with attorney Sarna and issued a not guilty verdict. This spared the home care aid from a criminal conviction, jail time, and a ruined career.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
