A Florida lawyer charged with filing more than 300 fraudulent Americans with Disabilities Act lawsuits on behalf of two plaintiffs who didn’t know he was filing claims in their names was sentenced to prison.

Charging documents show that in 2019, Stuart Finkelstein was charged with stealing the identities of two individuals to file hundreds of unauthorized ADA lawsuits.

Finkelstein, 68, was ordered to pay a $200,000 fine, forfeit more than $640,000 and sentenced to four years in federal prison for mail fraud by U.S. District Judge Paul Gardephe.
