Connecticut attorney Daniel Barber has been ordered suspended for 90 days, following his discovery that his sister, whom he hired in 2005 to help run the financial end of his practice, was allegedly siphoning clients' funds from real estate closings for about three years -- apparently to cover a heroin addiction that her family thought had ended. Barber must also pay restitution of about $215,000 within a year to four clients from whom his sister allegedly took money.
