- Share via
Four lawyers, three of them from Los Angeles County, were sentenced Monday in San Diego to prison terms of 37 to 46 months for taking part in a scheme to bilk insurance companies of millions of dollars in legal fees.
U.S. District Judge Clarence C. Newcomer also ordered the lawyers, who belonged to an organization dubbed the Alliance, to pay unspecified restitution to insurance companies who were billed for phony or spurious litigation. Those sentenced were:
* Lewis M. Koss of Woodland Hills, who received a term of three years and 10 months, plus a $100,000 fine.
* Richard B. Noyer of Calabasas, who was sentenced to three years and six months and a $50,000 fine.
* Leonard T. Radomile of La Jolla, who received a term of three years and one month and a $100,000 fine.
* Monty G. Mason II of Sherman Oaks, who was sentenced to three years and 10 months, plus a $25,000 fine.
