Credit Charge Charges

A law firm associate has been charged with stealing from the firm by the Illinois Administrator:

In August 2012, Respondent began working for the Law Offices of Robert C.  Wilson (“the firm”) as a law clerk. When Respondent was admitted to practice in  November 2012, she continued her employment with the firm.

While employed at the firm, which was owned by Robert C. Wilson  (“Wilson”), Respondent had physical access to the following: the firm’s credit  card number (“Office Chase VISA”); Wilson’s wife’s credit card number (“PMW  Capital One”), Wilson’s personal credit card number (“RCW ABA credit card”),  Wilson’s personal credit card number on an American Express Account (“AMEX”),  the account number for a checking account set up for Wilson’s daughter’s wedding  (“T Wilson Wedding Acct”), and the account number for Wilson’s personal checking  account (“RCW Personal Checking Acct”).

At no time did Wilson or his wife give Respondent authority to use funds  from any of these accounts for Respondent’s own personal or business purposes.

The total amount alleged is more than $8,000, with most charges to Amazon and Impressions Online. (Mike Frisch)
