New York state and federal prosecutors announced Wednesday that they prevented $6.3 million from going to a disbarred Albany County attorney and his co-conspirator who were convicted of stealing close to $12 million from family trusts.
The attorney, Richard Sherwood, who was also a former Guilderland Town Justice and resigned from the bench after his arrest in 2018, and his co-conspirator, financial advisor Thomas Lagan of Cooperstown, were convicted of stealing $11.8 million in 2019.
