An attorney who served federal prison time following his conviction in a mortgage fraud scheme has been formally disciplined with a suspension from the bar for at least six years.

Superior Court Judge Antonio Robaina recently issued an order imposing the suspension on Gabriel Serrano, who had been a West Hartford-based lawyer. The suspension is retroactive to when Serrano was originally put on interim suspension, which was on Dec. 23, 2013. Therefore, Serrano is ineligible for readmission before Dec. 24, 2019.
