A Florida attorney with a private practice was jailed for accusations of pilfering more than $840,000 from his clients.
Approximately 7 years ago, a 44-year-old personal injury lawyer opened a private practice in Seminole to work with clients who had been injured in automobile accidents.
Last October, a woman who retained the attorney to represent her said her insurance company informed her that the case against her had been settled for $100,000 several months prior. The woman reportedly never received a notification about the status of her case, and she was allegedly not given any of the money from the settlement.
