ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP)—A Woodbridge attorney has pleaded guilty to defrauding his clients out of more than $3.5 million.
Prosecutors say 40-year-old Stephen T. Conrad pleaded guilty Tuesday to federal fraud charges in U.S. District Court.
Conrad worked on personal injury and workers’ compensation cases. Court documents say until last December he forged his clients’ signatures and misappropriated funds coming from insurance companies against which claims were made.
Records show Conrad used the money to pay for his mortgage, credit card bills and travel.
He faces up to 20 years in prison, fines and restitution. Sentencing is set for November 14.

This man cost me my home, my business and put my granddaughter and I on the street had it not been for our church. He mislead, lied and I reported him to the Virginia Bar for them to find him not guilty of wrong doing. Then I find he had been arrested, got a letter from an attorney and then not response from anyone after that. At least now he won’t be doing to any more people what he did to me and many others.
HE NEED TO GO TO JAIL! HAVE YOU EVER HIRED A LAWYER AND SEE HOW MUCH THEY CHARGE! JUST PLAIN DAM GREED!
