CASE RESULTS: MLO ACHIEVES MISDEMEANOR RESULT FOR CLIENT ACCUSED OF DIVERTING $73,000+

A Mastantuono Law Office client accused of unlawfully diverting $73,000 from his mother’s retirement account while acting as her durable power of attorney resolved his felony prosecution in Washington County, agreeing to plead no contest to an amended misdemeanor charge, and was sentenced to three months jail with Huber privileges. Attorney Mastantuono achieved the case result through extensive plea negotiations with the Washington County District Attorney and the client’s ability to personally finance up front restitution. This result avoided a felony conviction and potential prison sentence.
