Juvenile Offender Charged With Robbery, Reduced To Disorderly Conduct

A promising high school basketball player from Pittsburgh was charged with robbery and alleged to have attacked an elderly woman. The 17-year-old was charged as a juvenile offender. Devastated that this event could potentially end his basketball career down the road, he took his case to the criminal lawyers at Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys.

Upon meeting with attorney Mike Worgul, our client told us his side of his story. It appeared that his friends had attacked the woman. He was only in the area when it took place. With both charges being felonies, it was evident this would destroy his basketball career. It was on the record from the preliminary hearing that he was only present when the attack happened. Worgul got both charges dropped down from felony level charges to disorderly conduct. As a result, our client was free to pursue and continue his professional basketball 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.
