Nevada court disbars Las Vegas lawyer who stole millions

The Nevada Supreme Court has disbarred longtime Las Vegas estate lawyer Robert Graham, who admitted stealing millions of dollars from clients.

In a four-page order filed Monday, all seven Supreme Court justices said the disbarment was permanent, and they ordered Graham to pay restitution and a $1 million fine. All of the money is to go to his former clients.

“Because the amount of misappropriated client funds is staggering and Graham exploited vulnerable people, disbarment is the only appropriate discipline,” the justices wrote.

Graham, who is in custody at the Clark County Detention Center, pleaded guilty Thursday in District Court to five felony counts, including theft and exploitation of vulnerable people, while admitting he stole more than $16 million.
