'THIEF' LAWYER A HOUSE LOUSE: DA
The New York Post by JAMIE SCHRAM - January 31, 2009
A Manhattan real-estate lawyer stole $396,000 from a client who had hoped to use the money to buy a house in Brazil, authorities said yesterday. When the client went to close on the house last October, Robert Barsch 'fessed up - admitting that he had looted the escrow account to take care of "a personal emergency," prosecutors said. Barsch, 48, of Levittown, LI, returned $175,000 but cost the client the chance to get the home, prosecutors said. Barsch is charged with grand larceny and was being held last night on $20,000 bail. He is due back in court on Monday.
