A disbarred attorney was convicted of defrauding minority homeowners by stealing property deeds.
"He stole our lives," said Clotilde "Wendy" Sawadogo, deed theft victim. "We were no longer happy in our house. We were feeling like strangers in our own homes."
"This hurt me a lot because I believed him, and I trusted him to have a home, and it didn't happen... He took me to this site to see the home, but it wasn't my home."
