The Virginia State Bar Disciplinary Board has suspended an attorney convicted of felony offenses in federal court.

Virginia Gazette reported on the charges

The trial against a Williamsburg attorney accused in a $1.3 million timeshare scheme is set for September, according to documents filed this week in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Deborah M. Wagner, the 43-year-old co-owner of Wagner & Hyman on Jamestown Road, is charged with fraud, four counts of mail fraud, three counts of wire fraud and three counts of aggravated identity fraud in connection with a timeshare scheme that targeted resorts and timeshare owners from 2009 to 2013, according to a Department of Justice news release.

Wagner faces up to 22 years in prison for the crimes, the news release states.

Wagner is accused of keeping transfer fees after mailing and wiring timeshare transfers from the original owners to stolen identities and unnamed owners, also known as straw owners, according to court documents.
