Two New York lawyers agreed to pay $510,000 in restitution to a dead client’s trust and charitable foundation from which the state Attorney General’s Office alleged they illegally paid themselves more than $1.3 million.
In a statement through their spokesman, Long Island attorneys Paul Marchese and Robin Maynard of Marchese & Maynard said their actions were justified. They also said the settlement terms with the office of the New York Attorney General were just a fraction of what the state originally demanded.
