Cincinnati attorney accused of stealing thousands of dollars from clients
CINCINNATI (WKRC) - Cincinnati police are looking for an attorney who is charged with stealing thousands of dollars from two clients. One of the clients was also the fiancee of Richard Crosby.
The 33-year-old man is accused of stealing and mishandling their money in 2019. Investigators are looking into whether more victims may be out there.
The Ohio Supreme Court is reviewing these allegations of attorney misconduct and others, as well.
According to documents, Crosby is accused of billing the clients for dinners, drinks, hotels and flights to Cancun, Florida and other places that had nothing to do with their cases.
Crosby also briefly ran for Ohio's 2nd Congressional District in 2018 but withdrew before the primary.
Crosby was indicted Thursday on theft and unauthorized use of property charges.
He also faces a civil legal malpractice lawsuit.
