New Jersey Attorney Facing Prison After Stealing From Elderly Clients

New Jersey attorney Barbara Lieberman was charged in March for taking control of financial accounts and stealing funds from her elderly clients. Lieberman was accused of forging documents to make herself power of attorney over clients and adding her name to their bank accounts. Lieberman plead guilty to money laundering, and will face prison time at her February sentencing hearing, which according to the terms of her plea deal will be recommended by prosecutors to be a 10 year sentence.
