Attorney Alleged To Have Stolen From Daughter’s Education Expenses Account

The North Carolina State Bar has filed charges against an attorney, alleging that he withdrew funds from an account that was to be held as custodian to pay solely for his daughter’s education and related expenses.

The account was set up as part of a divorce settlement in 1994.

The attorney is alleged to have used $82,000 for his own purposes, including paying for a European vacation and elective plastic surgery for his (presumably) new spouse. (Mike Frisch)
