As I have previously discussed, New Jersey attorney Barbara Lieberman plead guilty last year for her participation in a scheme that involved taking advantage of elderly clients by fraudulently gaining power of attorney and stealing millions of dollars from the victims. Lieberman has been sentenced to 10 years in prison, which was the recommended sentence by state prosecutors. Lieberman agreed to testify against her alleged co-conspirators as part of her plea deal, and five alleged co-conspirators have been indicted.
