Hollywood Actor Hires West Virginia Attorney

{Charleston, West Virginia}...The family of 25 year old Vivek Shah, an actor from West Hollywood, California has retained Charleston Attorney Troy Giatras to represent him after he allegedly tried to get millions of dollars from a West Virginia coal executive says there should be no rush to judgment. Shah was indicted this week on four counts of interfering with interstate commerce and using interstate commerce to threaten extortion. He allegedly told coal billionaire Foresight Reserves owner Christopher Cline  he wanted $13 million or he could expect several members of his family to die. Giatras says all of the facts about the case are not in. Shah has had a number of acting roles ranging from movies to commercials. He was arrested in Chicago earlier this month. It's likely he won't be transported to West Virginia until sometime next week.
