Disbarred Lawyer Turns Himself In On Grand Theft Charges

Former lawyer Scott Schieb faces eight counts of grand theft for keeping $200,000 of victims' settlement payments for himself, according to the Sarasota Police Department.

A disbarred Sarasota personal injury lawyer turned himself in today on eight counts of grand theft, allegedly victimizing a World War II veteran among others.

Scott Schieb arrived at Sarasota Police Department headquarters for the charges, having bilked $200,000 from victims, according to the police department.

Schieb was being investigated for seven months following his disbarment from the Florida Bar Association in October 2011, according to police.

The Florida Bar filed a complaint with the Twelfth Judicial Circuit in November saying that as many as 12 victims had their injury settlement payments stolen by Schieb.
