A former Bridgeport attorney was arrested Wednesday and charged with one count of second-degree larceny in connection with the alleged theft of nearly $10,000 from a client in a bankruptcy and a foreclosure case.

According to an arrest warrant application, New Jersey resident Alfred Cali, while practicing law in Bridgeport in 2016, deposited into his personal account a check for $9,614 that he received from his client, Fidel Morales.
