Former lawyer facing felony theft charges

COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. -- A former lawyer is now being accused of preying upon his clients and stealing tens of thousands of dollars from them.

Forty-five-year-old Patrick Bradley, of Collegeville, allegedly stole $145,000 from 12 different clients, all of whom had special needs.

Bradley was hired to do legal work on their behalf, but allegedly did nothing.

Instead, authorities say Bradley used their money to pay his mortgage, utility bills, and for other personal expenses.

Bradley's license to practice law was suspended in 2015 and he was disbarred in September.
