Philly Lawyer Disbarred for Laundering Money for Baltimore Crime Family
A Philadelphia lawyer who was convicted on six counts of laundering money for a multimillion-dollar drug ring, was disbarred this week in Pennsylvania by the state’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel, reports The Philadelphia Inquirer.
J. Michael Farrell, 65, is serving a three-year federal sentence in Philadelphia, writes the Inquirer‘s Sam Wood. His license to practice law has been suspended since 2017, when a jury found him guilty on a total of 10 charges that also included witness tampering.
Prosecutors alleged Farrell worked with a crime family based in Baltimore that distributed thousands of pounds of illegal marijuana throughout the Mid-Atlantic states.
