A former San Antonio lawyer will be spending the next six years of his life in prison after federal investigators alleged that he created fake Texas court rulings to dupe a pair of clients into believing he’d won their case and converted another client’s $2.4 million trust fund for his own personal use.

Todd Prins, who pled guilty last year and later resigned his law license in lieu of discipline, was handed his sentence today by Senior U.S. District Judge David Ezra. In addition to the prison term, Ezra also ordered that Prins pay $2.9 million in restitution and be placed on supervised release for a period of three years after leaving prison.
