A former Fairfield attorney who defrauded clients of more than $950,000 was sentenced in federal court Monday to three years in prison with three years of supervised release.
According to documents provided by the U.S. attorney for Connecticut, 53-year-old John O’Brien admitted to defrauding clients between April 2011 and June 2014 by using funds from one client to pay off debts owed to others.
