A lawyer's suspension has been followed by federal fraud charges. The lawyer had been accused of taking money for work not done. Clients claimed they were given fake documents that appeared to be from a government agency.

A court ruling went against the lawyer, ordering payment of damages and fees. The total amount owed was nearly $284,000. Further details about the allegations and court case are available from the source, including the amount of money the lawyer allegedly accepted for uncompleted work.
