A lawyer could face up to seven years in jail after allegedly ripping off clients for more than $125,000.
Warren Richard McFie, 64, appeared in Auckland District Court this morning where he pleaded not guilty to two charges of theft by a person in a special relationship.
He is accused
of taking $83,337 from a female client between 2012 and 2015, which Mc Fie allegedly used for "personal expenses".
Towards the end of 2014 he is accused of swindling $44,322 from a South Auckland couple and their property business.
McFie, whose legal practice is in Mt Wellington, was granted name suppression after his first appearance this month but that order lapsed today.
