A Hartford-based attorney specializing in family law, personal injury and criminal defense was sentenced late Wednesday afternoon to eight months’ imprisonment and one year of supervised release for filing false tax returns that omitted more than $1.2 million in income.

Judge Kari Dooley of the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut also ordered Justin Freeman to pay a $4,000 fine. Freeman was released on a $100,000 bond and is required to report to prison on July 1.
