Ind. Courts - Even more on: "Lawyer guilty of attack on woman in wheelchair"
Updating this ILB entry from March 11th, the Gary Post Tribune has a story today by Ruth Ann Krause that begins:
Former lawyer and elected official Michael B. Haughee, who is serving a one-year jail term for sexual battery, has been charged in Lake Superior Court with theft.Haughee, 56, who practiced law in Griffith, is accused of collecting a $15,500 check on behalf of a client he represented in a December 2002 car accident in Merrillville. The Schererville woman told Griffith police she met with Haughee 10 to 12 times on the Merrillville accident case and a second one he filed on her behalf involving a subsequent car accident.
She thought he was making excuses as to why he wouldn't show her any court documents. In the meantime, the woman contacted another attorney who suggested she call police.
