Two former law partners have each been sentenced to a year in federal prison for defrauding their Kansas City, Missouri-based health system client of more than $1.2 million.
One of the partners, Mark J. Schultz, also was ordered to pay more than $400,000 in restitution when he was sentenced earlier this month in federal court after pleading guilty to wire fraud and mail fraud conspiracy. He had faced a maximum sentence of five years. His former partner, Alan B. Gallas, pleaded guilty to federal charges of mail fraud in U.S. district court in Kansas City last year and was sentenced in February. His restitution amount tops $1.2 million. The two men were partners in the law firm of Gallas & Schultz, also in Kansas City.
