Multiple Felonies for Theft Reduced to Misdemeanors and No Jail Time

Not long ago, we represented a 52-year-old woman, charged with several felonies, including forgery, theft, identity theft, and receiving stolen property, with each charge carrying a possible sentence of seven to ten years. The woman, who was an executive assistance for a Pittsburgh business would handle large transactions for her employer; however, after he passed away, approximately 20 checks were withdrawn totaling over $120,000. With serious charges against her and the possibility of a lengthy sentence, she contacted the attorneys at Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys, LLC.

Attorney, Samir Sarna was well-equipped to handle this case and effectively negotiated to reduce the theft felonies to misdemeanors, as well as arranged for a plea agreement that included no jail time, rather a two-year probation period. Our client avoided multiple felony convictions and was kept out of jail, which was very favorable considering the penalties our client initially faced.

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.
