Attorney convicted.

Ogdensburg attorney reaches plea arrangement resulting in 33 months prison time and automatic loss of law license.

Brian K. Goolden, 38, admitted in U.S. District Court, Syracuse, that he defrauded 93-year-old James Gilmore, Naples Fla., a legally blind former Morristown businessman, by drafting a trust that was supposed to preserve Mr. Gilmore's money. Instead, the trust gave Mr. Goolden unregulated control and unrestricted access to all of the trust's assets during Mr. Gilmore's lifetime and the right to take anything left in the trust after his death.
