A Sunset Park attorney was indicted on charges of two counts of
second- and third-degree grand larceny and two counts of first-degree
perjury in Brooklyn Supreme Court on June 25 after he allegedly stole
more than $150,000 from his clients.
District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said the court would punish lawyer for allegedly betraying his clients’ trust.
“This defendant was entrusted to safeguard these funds, but instead
allegedly stole the money and used it for his own purposes,” Gonzalez
said. “We will now hold him accountable for his alleged criminal
actions.”
Between 2014 and 2018, the attorney — who hails from the distant land
of Pennsylvania — allegedly stole a $98,000 down payment in a real
estate transaction plus a $55,000 client settlement, and ignored
numerous attempts to contact him, according to Gonzalez.
He was released without bail and ordered to return to court on September 19, the district attorney’s office said.

I bet if a study was done on who the biggest thieves are, lawyers would be #1 or #2.
