LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Police say a California man disbarred in the late 1980s has been cited on suspicion of practicing law in Nebraska without a license after offering his services in an online ad.
A man contacted 81-year-old Burton Berman after seeing his ad and paid Berman $250 to help him file for divorce.
Lincoln Police spokeswoman, Officer Katie Flood, says police began investigating Berman on Sept. 3 at the request of the Lancaster County Attorney’s Office. Flood says Berman was disbarred in California for being involved in a money-laundering scheme.
A working telephone number for Berman could not be found Thursday.
