A Brooklyn appellate panel has suspended a Putnam County attorney for a year, faulting him for not safeguarding nearly $340,000 that his now-disbarred wife admitted to stealing.

Four years after Patterson attorney Jane Posner pleaded guilty to second-degree grand larceny, the Appellate Division, Second Department, disciplined Martin Posner on April 16 for breaches of fiduciary duty—even though Posner said he was not involved in the firm’s dealings when the theft took place.
