A Middletown law firm has sued one of its own managing members for allegedly stealing more than $2 million from the firm.

The nine-page lawsuit, which was filed April 10 in Middletown Superior Court, accuses Sean M. McHugh of “statutory theft.” The lawsuit, filed on behalf of McHugh, Chapman & Vargas, accuses McHugh of diverting “profits of MCV for his own personal use, including, but not limited to, falsifying expenses and submitting the same to MCV for payment in order to steal profits from MCV and to avoid personal state and federal income tax liability.”
