Attorney Swindled Elderly Maryland Woman Out of $1.8M

A man conned an elderly Maryland woman out of almost $2 million. The woman thought she could trust the attorney to set up her estate, but prosecutors say he took the money for himself.

Helen Nutt worked hard as a church secretary and saved her money, building a substantial nest egg.

“She died at 91 but she invested well and she saved,” Montgomery County State’s Attorney John McCarthy said. “She made her money the old fashioned way: She worked and saved.”

Prosecutors say she was swindled out of her hard-earned money by Jonathan Robbins, an attorney and CPA. They say she asked him for help in setting up trust and estate documents.

Someone should have helped her decades ago, she never even got the chance to enjoy her retirement. And then some criminal stole her money.

Both licenses should suspended and he should be in prison. Let him learn the cost of tapping the till when he can only get a job sacking groceries after he's served his time.
