Leeds Morelli & Brown P.C.:  New York Malpractice Watchdogs

 The New York Times is reporting that Michael Axel, a New York City stockbroker stole $600,000 from his clients.  Mr. Axel allegedly forged checks to acquire the money which he promptly wired overseas to secure an inheritance left to him by a long lost relative.  There was of course no relative, as Mr. Axel had fallen prey to an internet scam, and all of the money was lost.  Thankfully, Mr. Axel’s employer Tripp & Company has repaid the innocent victims of this crime.
