Disbarred Attorney Arrested For Identity Theft

Former Rockford attorney Lisa Anne Leitter has been charged with 17 counts of identity theft for allegedly running up credit card debts on accounts she opened up in her secretary's name, according to an article in the Rockford Register Star at rrstar.com.

She was also the subject of an administrative investigation as a result of a complaint filed by the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission in 2006 based on similar allegations. She had also been alleged by the Commission to have (1) stolen her former partner's identity and (2) bilked clients out of money as well. That investigation ended with her disbarment as an attorney.
