WARWICK – Vincent J. Mitchell, age 57, of Coventry and a former Warwick lawyer, has been arrested by the R.I. State Police’s Financial Crimes Unit Monday on a Affidavit/Arrest Warrant charging him with 10 counts of embezzlement and fraudulent conversion of over $100, after self-reporting that he had misused more than $1.2 million of his clients’ money for personal use.
Mitchell had been disbarred last summer. His practice had centered around estate planning and long-term health care planning.
His voluntary admission to the R.I. Supreme Court Chief Disciplinary Council last August resulted in the investigation.
