A former White and Williams insurance attorney has been federally charged for allegedly scamming product manufacturers and class action settlements out of $3.4 million, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Philadelphia announced.

They claimed Cohen, who represented insurance companies in litigation over water damage, created a shell company called WLSP, which he used to file fabricated claims to collect settlement money for himself over the course of four years. He also used legitimate claims from the insurance companies he represented to illicitly line his own pockets, prosecutors alleged.
