Distinguished attorney Manuel “Manny” Farach, member at the Fort Lauderdale office of national firm McGlinchey Stafford, has been accused of committing fraud on behalf of a former client.

In a July 7 lawsuit filed in Palm Beach Circuit Court, CR Technologies alleges that Farach actively participated in a conspiracy to mislead the South Florida tech company during an earlier legal clash. The suit also names Richman Greer P.A. — Farach’s former firm — as a defendant in addition to Jonathan Turner and US Datanet Corp., which had been represented by Farach in the underlying case.
