WHITE PLAINS – A Briarcliff Manor resident was sentenced in Westchester County Court to one to three years in state prison for stealing over $3.7 million from eight clients she represented as a real estate lawyer between 2017 and 2021.
The court ordered Laurieanne DeLitta, 51, to pay full restitution to her victims.
“Attorneys should be held to the highest standards of ethics and integrity,” said District Attorney Miriam Rocah. “Ms. DeLitta violated her oath and professional duties in every way when she broke the law and stole from her clients. My office has no tolerance for such conduct.”
In May, DeLitta pled guilty to eight felony counts of grand larceny for stealing over $3.7 million from eight individuals and estates while working as a real estate lawyer in Armonk.
During that time, she diverted the proceeds generated from the sales of her clients’ assets into her personal bank accounts.
