    A former Bay of Plenty lawyer has pleaded guilty to fraudulently claiming nearly 375 thousand dollars legal support

    1 April 2025
    The Serious Fraud Office found Paulette Main submitted more than 1200 false claims, for 26 clients, to the Family Legal Advice Service between 2017-and-2022.

    The Ministry of Justice scheme funds lawyers to give out-of-court advice in Care of Children Act disputes - to help parties without court intervention.

    In one instance, she used a deceased person's details to claim nearly 17 thousand dollars.
