Lawyer from Westwood indicted on theft charges

By Globe Staff

A Suffolk County grand jury has indicted an attorney for allegedly stealing thousands from a bank account he shared with two other partners in a Boston law firm.

Philip Giordano, 49, of Westwood faces four counts of larceny over $250, three counts of larceny over $250 by scheme, and four counts of making false entries into corporate books, the Suffolk district attorney’s office said today in a statement.

Prosecutors said investigators developed evidence that Giordano stole at least $150,000 from the firm between January 2002 and September 2004.

The indictment was handed up Wednesday. Giordano didn’t immediately return a message left at his office. There was no telephone listing for him in Westwood.
