Manhattan federal prosecutors Tuesday charged a Florida attorney with mail fraud and aggravated identity theft for allegedly filing hundreds of sham lawsuits under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The six-count indictment, unsealed late Tuesday, accused Stuart Finkelstein of filing more than 300 lawsuits in Manhattan and South Florida on behalf of two clients, without their permission. Finkelstein, 65, was also accused of making false statements and obstructing justice in New York.
