A Lexington attorney has been permanently disbarred after admitting to taking $631,000 from a client over a 20-year period and another $46,000 in a separate case.The Kentucky Supreme Court concluded Thursday that 65-year-old Brian P. Gilfedder's conduct warranted a permanent ban on practicing law. Gilfedder agreed to the disbarment as part of a plea agreement with federal prosecutors in April that resulted in a 41-month prison sentence.
In the other case, Gilfedder acknowledged keeping $46,000 paid by an insurance company to four clients after an auto accident.
