Nbc’s Albert Retains Renowned Attorney Black

Sportscaster Marv Albert has changed lawyers for his case involving a charge of sexual assault in Arlington, Va.

Albert was charged with biting a woman and sexually assaulting her in his hotel room after midnight on Feb. 12.

Albert said Tuesday he has retained Roy Black, a trial lawyer who has represented William Kennedy Smith and Kelsey Grammer, among others.

Black replaced Washington, D.C., lawyer Gerald Treanor, who voluntarily removed himself from the case.

Albert, NBC’s lead announcer for NBA games, was indicted last month on charges of forcible sodomy and assault.

The 41-year-old woman told investigators she has known Albert for about 10 years and he invited her to his hotel room in Washington.

Albert, 53, has not formally entered a plea in the case, but has denied any wrongdoing. The trial is scheduled for Sept. 22.
