Attorney Kristi McNeilly
MINNEAPOLIS – A criminal defense attorney from Woodbury will spend six months in the Hennepin County workhouse for taking her client’s money.
46-year-old Kristi McNeilly was convicted last October of swindling the victim out of 15 thousand dollars. McNeilly was representing a 53-year-old man and his 39-year-old roommate after the Southwest Hennepin Drug Task Force raided their residence and found drugs in a safe.
Prosecutors told the court McNeilly used money from her client to pay her mortgage, credit cards, and personal spending.
