Disbarred Manhasset attorney sentenced in stolen funds scheme

By: Adina Genn

A disbarred attorney was sentenced for using stolen funds to pay restitution in an earlier case, the Nassau County District Attorney’s office said Wednesday.

Alfred DiGirolomo, Jr., of Manhasset, was sentenced to 1-1/3 years to four years in prison for stealing $675,000 from clients and using a portion of the stolen money to pay restitution on an unrelated NCDA case in which he pleaded guilty in April 2019 to stealing nearly $230,000.

DiGirolomo pleaded guilty in December to three counts of grand larceny to stealing the $675,000. He had pleaded guilty for stealing the $230,000 in 2019.

When he was sentenced on Monday, he was ordered to pay restitution for $680,000.

“Alfred DiGirolomo swindled multiple clients to pay for country club dues and cigars, and in one case, stole from one client to repay another victim,” District Attorney Madline Singas said in a statement.

DiGirolomo’s attorney, Robert Del Col, told Newsday that his client made “poor decisions” and  got “tangled up with some rather disreputable clients.”
