LARCENY from BUILDING: CONTINUED without FINDING

Client, 33-year-old single mother of three, was charged with Improper Use of Credit Card over $250 and Larceny from Building (two counts). Client worked as a nursing assistant at an elderly residential facility. Client confessed to Police that she stole a diamond ring from one of the elderly residents (93 years old). The diamond ring was appraised at $6,800. Client admitted to selling the diamond ring at a pawnshop for $500. The pawnshop melted down the diamond ring. Client confessed to police that she stole the wallet of another elderly resident (87 years old). Client was captured on videotape using the elderly resident’s credit card to purchase merchandise. The Commonwealth recommended a “guilty finding” with two years of probation with a list of conditions, including $6,800 in restitution and an order that she no longer work with the elderly.

Result: Attorney Patrick J. Noonan secures a Continuance without a Finding, and at the conclusion of the two-year probationary period, all criminal charges will be dismissed. Attorney Patrick J. Noonan reduced the amount from $6,800 to $1,250, and eliminates the condition that the client no longer works with the elderly.
