LOS ANGELES — Two former law-firm partners were each sentenced to six months in federal prison Monday for their roles in hiring phony plaintiffs in lucrative class-action lawsuits against corporations that raked in nearly $240 million for their firm.
Steven Schulman, 57, and David Bershad, 68, who prosecutors called the “money man,” were key players in the scheme.
Two co-founders of New York-based Milberg Weiss — now known as Milberg LLP — also have been sent to federal prison in the case.
