An attorney who offered legal advice on the radio to senior citizens admitted Friday that he stole millions of dollars from his clients.

Robert Novy, 66, of Brick

Robert Novy, 66, of Brick, pleaded guilty to first-degree money laundering and now faces 10 years in prison when he is sentenced in September, Attorney General Gurbir Grewal announced in a press release.

Novy admitted to stealing nearly $3 million from dozens of clients he advised through his Manchester-based firm, Novy & Associates. Novy, who specialized in elder law, also hosted a bi-monthly radio program "Inside the Law," in which he focused on topics that affect senior citizens.

Novy preyed on older clients that did not have close family members to claim their estate or object to Novy's actions, Grewal said.

He would take their money and then pay for personal and business expenses.

Novy transferred his clients' money to his various attorney trust and business bank accounts, concealing the source of the stolen funds.

Novy was also ordered to pay $4 million in restitution.

"With his plea today, Bob Novy accepted responsibility for his conduct," his lawyer Gerald Krovatin said after the court hearing. "He agreed to make available a total of $4 million, which is more than enough to pay the legitimate claims of his former clients."
