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.
