Attorney Pays for Stealing Almost $900,000 From Clients

Maureen F. Pomeroy, 46, has been disbarred, will pay $277,292 in restitution to her victims, serve one year in a house of correction, and spend another year-and-a-half under house arrest.  Pomeroy faces all of these consequences for taking advantage of clients who trusted her with access to their money, hoping she would assist them with their best interests at heart.  Instead, she stole almost $900,000 from several people.  On March 4, Pomeroy pleaded guilty to two counts of larceny from a person over 60, one count of larceny, and one count of embezzlement by fiduciary.
