Stephen W. Schuyler, 62, faces 13 felony counts that accuse him of stealing from multiple clients and plundering their estates he represented. Among the victims is a widow whose final bequest of about $164,000 to her church Schuyler is accused of stealing.
Schuyler was previously suspended and failed to respond to show cause letters the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission issued in September.

He faces three counts of Class C felony theft of at least $100,000; Class C felony and Level 5 felony counts of corrupt business influence; one count of Class D felony theft; one count of Level 5 felony check deception; four counts of Level 6 felony check deception; and two counts of Level 6 theft.
