Suspension For Walmart Theft Attempt

As a result of a joint agreement, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court imposed a one-year suspension retroactive to November 2014.

The agreement recites that the attorney met with his client for lunch  to discuss a matter and then asked the client for a ride to Walmart. There he attempted to take an electronic device valued at $70.

The incident took place in Los Angeles California.

He was initially charged with the shoplifting but the charges were later changed to a felony commercial burglary and robbery. 

The attorney called the client as a witness and was convicted of the burglary charge but acquitted of robbery.

He spent 223 days in jail.
