Charges of Larceny Against Electrician Dismissed

Our client is an electrician who is a member of a prominent electrician’s union. He is well regarded in his profession. Unfortunately, a few years ago as a result of an industrial accident he became addicted to prescription pills. When the prescriptions ran out doctors refused a refill. Our client then resorted to street drugs. He fell into a pattern of using and stealing from stores and people to get money to feed his habit. In this case, he entered a laundromat. When one of the patrons was moving clothes from the washer to the dryer our client observed the individual’s wallet on a table. He open the wallet and stole several hundred dollars. This was captured on security cameras located inside the laundromat. Our client was charged with larceny under $1,200 which is a misdemeanor in Massachusetts under G.L. c. 266 section 30. Attorney Neyman represented him on this case and several others. Today, we convinced the district attorney and judge to agree to dismissing the case upon repayment of the money stolen.
