: Practical ParalegalismParalegal Sells Elderly Lawyer?s Practice for $20
By Lynne DeVenny
This might be Practical Paralegalism?s criminal activity shocker for the month. California paralegal Mario Abernathy admitted selling an 84-year old lawyer?s practice for $20, after befriending him and then having him sign a power of attorney giving Mr. Abernathy control of his property.
