Robbery Charges Dismissed and No Jail

May 2017

Michael A. Goldstein’s client was charged with Robbery after assaulting two loss prevention employees outside of Macy’s Department Store following the theft of property. According to loss prevention, our client assaulted them and caused injuries after confronting him about a theft they alleged occurred inside the store. After an initial county jail offer, Michael negotiated the dismissal of the Robbery (a serious and violent strike offense) and a plea to a lesser charge of ADW. The DA agreed to a sentence of community service and further reduction to a misdemeanor at 12 months.
