Steven Brill was hired to represent a young man from Staten Island who, along with another young man, was alleged to have robbed a group of boys at the Staten Island Mall. After interviewing witnesses, it turned out that the client was merely present at the scene of the robbery but did nothing to actively take part. After this defense was presented to the Staten Island DA, the felony charges against the client were reduced to a disorderly conduct and client was given a time served sentence.
