No, this isn’t a repeat of a post from earlier this week. This is actually another story of an attorney being arrested on theft and embezzlement charges in Las Vegas. Her name is Jeanne Winkler and she has been accused of embezzling between $140,000 to $200,000. It was unclear as to whether she was working for herself at the time or with a firm. At the time of her arrest she had been working for Bret Whipple at Justice Law Center in Las Vegas. Attorney Whipple has not been accused of any crime and it should not be assumed that he had anything to do with the crimes that Jeanne Winkler is being accused of. Attorney Whipple stated that Jeanne had moved to Reno but he had not decided whether or not he was going to continue using her services. I personally hope it’s a pretty easy decision for him.
