Disbarred lawyer convicted of stealing $275K from impaired client
"Nadeau was convicted of convincing his former client, who was mentally incapacitated, to give him $275,000 in loans, according to an April 1 press release from the New Hampshire Department of Justice."
"To conceal his misconduct, Nadeau produced false electronic file metadata, fabricated documents and forged a signature."
""It's difficult for me to imagine something worse for a lawyer to do," one committee member said, according to court records and coverage by the NH Journal."
"Nadeau was found guilty of theft by deception, financial exploitation of an impaired adult, forgery and falsifying physical evidence."
Justin P. Nadeau, a disbarred lawyer and former congressional candidate, was convicted of stealing $275,000 from a client with a traumatic brain injury. He manipulated the client into providing loans and concealed his actions by creating false documents and forging signatures. The New Hampshire Attorney Discipline Office conducted an ethics investigation into his conduct. Nadeau was found guilty of multiple charges, including theft by deception and forgery, and is set to be sentenced in June.
