Woman Found Not Guilty on Multiple Assault Charges

A local woman in her mid 30s made a poor decision during an argument at a bar in Pittsburgh. The police were called and the woman argued with the police, and even attempted to fight with them. She was charged with two counts of aggravated assault (a second-degree felony), one count of conspiracy to commit aggravated assault (a second-degree felony), one count of simple assault (a second-degree misdemeanor), and one count of harassment (a third-degree misdemeanor).

A home cleaner with a small company based in Pittsburgh, the woman would have suffered severe consequences including potential loss of employment and loss of ability to earn a living. She hired Pittsburgh criminal attorney Samir Sarna to represent her on these charges in Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas.

He attended two court dates on the client’s behalf, and his defense focused on the fact that the conduct in question did not rise to the level of criminal charges. After a bench trial, the woman was found not guilty of all charges. Samir then took steps to ensure that the record of this incident was expunged.

Case results depend upon a variety of factors unique to each case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any future case.
