A Houston attorney has plead guilty to conspiring with his wife to steal money from the veterans whose legal matters and accounts he was managing.

The lawyer,73-year old Joe B. Phillips, plead guilty to two of the 21 charges he is facing, admitting to stealing more than $1.36 million from the accounts he managed. The money went into a joint account that he shared with his wife, who admitted to having a gambling problem.

Phillips hid the money he stole in various dummy bank accounts and even forged an income tax return to keep his deeds secret.
