 A DISGRACED solicitor who plundered more than £143,000 from clients was yesterday warned he faced jail. Stephen Pulston Williams, of Holborn Road, Holyhead, admitted four charges of theft, three of false accounting, and one forgery charge. The 50-year-old was the senior partner in the longstanding law firm of Prothero Williams with offices in Valley, Holyhead and Bangor. He was struck off in 2002, after he admitted using clients' cash for his own use, leaving a £172,000 black hole. The firm, closed down by a legal watchdog, was later taken over. Yesterday Mold Crown Court heard prosecutors were trying to claw back the cash, raided from clients' accounts.. Williams, released on unconditional bail, was warned prison was inevitable when he returns to court next month. By then he must list his assets for court officials. Williams walked into the dock with the aid of a stick because of a serious spine complaint. His lawyers are to write to prison chiefs about his back problems, saying he must be transported carefully. |
