Kevin R. Allen, 31, of Gaines Basin Rd., Albion, is charged with grand larceny 3rd, a felony, and issuing a bad check by State Police on December 7, 2017.
The Orleans County Sheriff’s Office, earlier this week, charged Allen with, grand Larceny 2nd , petit larceny, and scheme to defraud 2nd following the investigation into complaints of misconduct from two separate clients following a two week investigation.
One client alleged that Allen was paid for attorney services to commence divorce proceedings and was then advised the divorce was finalized when in fact, the process had not been started. A second client reported that Allen was hired to bring a civil law suit against certain companies on behalf of the client as well as assist in collecting monies owed from a divorce. To date, Allen allegedly collected more than $57,000 from the victim and had not filed any claims on behalf of his client.
Allen allegedly engaged in behavior that violates the established rules for professional conduct by attorneys as well as the N.Y.S Penal Law.
