Former Tacoma attorney pleads guilty to stealing thousands of dollars from vulnerable client

A former Tacoma attorney has pleaded guilty to stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from a vulnerable client, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Over a 10-year period, Colby Parks, 65, transferred more than $880,000 from the victim’s accounts to ones he controlled and paid himself at least $530,000 more than he was entitled to, prosecutors said.

Parks is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 29.

Prosecutors have said they will recommend a sentence of no more than 33 months in prison.
