Lawyer claimed losses for company he did not fully own, evaded tax, judge says
Copyright © 2021 Albuquerque Journal New Mexico Supreme Court justices have barred an Albuquerque attorney from practicing law for 90 days after finding that he attempted to avoid paying a legal judgment by shifting assets between companies he owned.
