A former Bridgeport-based attorney has been sentenced in U.S. District Court to 30 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release for his part in a long-running fraud scheme that targeted distressed homeowners throughout Connecticut.

Bradford Barneys, a 51-year-old Maryland resident who was placed on interim suspension in Connecticut in April, pleaded guilty earlier this year to one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud related to the fraud scheme.
