Attorney Kustell disbarred, sentenced for stealing

A Buffalo area matrimonial attorney who pleaded guilty to a grand larceny charge was sentenced Wednesday in Erie County Court.

Carl Kustell, 79, of Clarence, admitted in December he stole $236,250 from an elderly client.

His license to practice law was revoked Feb. 1 by the New York Bar, with a retroactive date of the disbarment set to Dec. 13 when he pleaded guilty to the charge. The license was suspended in October 2018.

Kustell was granted a conditional discharge and ordered to pay $100 a month in restitution and complete 100 hours of community service.

He stole the money from the client in 2017.
