A New York bankruptcy attorney, Pincus David Carlebach, pleaded guilty on Wednesday in Manhattan federal court to embezzling funds from a client’s bankruptcy estate.

The government said that Carlebach, 57, transferred $30,000 in estate assets to himself for his own use in early 2016. He pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman of the Southern District of New York to one count of embezzlement from a bankruptcy estate.
