The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office announced Monday that a New Jersey lawyer has been charged with allegedly stealing nearly $240,000 from a former client he represented in the sale of her dead sister’s estate.

Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez said in a statement that the attorney, 67-year-old Antoni Moszczynski of Madison, New Jersey, was arraigned on one count of second-degree grand larceny.  Moszczynski, who has an office in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, was released without bail and was ordered to return to court on June 29, the DA’s office said.
