LOS ANGELES—A former lawyer from Redondo Beach agreed Oct. 20 to plead guilty to a fraud charge, admitting he lied to clients about winning cases and deceiving them with bogus documents, some with the forged signatures of judges.
Matthew Charles Elstein, 51, will plead to one count of wire fraud in Los Angeles federal court on a date to be determined, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
