A man who defrauded divorcing couples out of hundreds of thousands of dollars while impersonating a lawyer was sentenced to 15 years in prison Friday in Maricopa County Superior Court. Gary Karpin, 57, was convicted last month of 23 counts of theft and one count of fraud. Operating under the business name “Divorce with Dignity”, Karpin billed nearly $300,000 to 25 victims.

Its a shame that this kind of fraud could take place. If you are looking for an experienced Arizona divorce lawyer, here is a list of “real” Phoenix area family lawyers & law firms. All are licensed by the State Bar of Arizona – I checked!!
