An Aventura paralegal has been accused of purloining more than $1 million dollars from a trust left behind by her father, a former partner at a South Florida law firm.

Pamela Altman is alleged to have continuously stolen from an account created by her father, former Fowler White Burnett partner Morton Brown, shortly before his death in March 2005. The fund was entrusted to Brown’s surviving spouse, Sheila Brown, and had been intended to cover her medical and living expenses. The complaint filed in Miami-Dade Circuit Court contends that Altman, a part-time probate paralegal with Fromberg, Perlow & Kornik in Aventura, used her two decades of expertise and experience working with trusts and estates to steal her mother’s money for her own ends.
