,000 from 75 clients. His scheme was finally brought to light when Angelisa Garrett was forced to turn to the attorney general's office for help with her creditors.Angelisa had been involved in a personal injury suit that he dragged on for years, leaving her in terrible medical debt and no settlement to help. Frank Carter, her attorney, had always been kind and even offered her a little money to help her along her way.
When she called the Attorney General's office to complain about her creditors, the office discovered that her $50,000 settlement had been released three years earlier. Garrett had never seen any of her settlement. As it turns out, her signature had been forged and Carter had pocketed the money. Unfortunately, Ms. Garrett was not the only victim of Frank Carter.
As many as 75 clients were reported to have been the victims of Carter and many of those clients were referred to William Londoff when money troubles arose.
