A Las Vegas lawyer who stole $16 million from his clients‘ trust funds has been sentenced to 16 to 40 years in prison.
Clark County District Judge Kerry Earley sentenced Robert Graham on
Friday after nearly a dozen victims testified about how he preyed on
clients who set up trusts for loved ones, including children, the
elderly and disabled.
Graham pleaded guilty in September to five felony counts, including
theft and exploitation of vulnerable people. He was a frequent
television advertiser before shutting down his Lawyers West practice.
Prosecutors said when Graham was indicted in January that he used a
client trust fund as a personal piggy bank for his business and private
bills.
