A Long Island elder law attorney has been accused of stealing more than $150,000 from clients and a ward during the last four years. Martha Brosius of Brosius & Associates in Great Neck is charged with three counts of second-degree grand larceny. Brosius, 50, faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
Though tasked to watch over a 77-year-old incapacitated man as his court-appointed guardian, Brosius allegedly spent money from the man’s accounts for her office, payroll and personal expenses. In two other cases, she allegedly embezzled funds. For example, Brosius deposited an almost $85,000 check into her escrow account to handle a deceased woman’s estate. She then allegedly wired more than $14,000 to the woman’s son but transferred $70,000 to her operating account.
