Kingston Attorney Faces Charges for Client Fraud
Prominent Kingston lawyer hit with legal troubles. The Fraud Squad Division’s police arrested and charged a prominent Kingston attorney, Ano Miller Sewell. She allegedly failed to account for over $37.8 million given to her by a client to purchase a St Andrew property.
The police charged Miller Sewell with fraudulent conversion during her recent legal troubles. She was also charged with possession of criminal property on May 27, 2025. Her attorney was present at the time.
The authorities granted her bail of $1 million. Law enforcement has scheduled her to appear before the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court on June 30, 2025.
The complainant reportedly retained Miller Sewell last year to handle the purchase of a $57.6 million property located along Reds Hills Road.
Between January and March 2024, the victim reportedly transferred the full cost of the property to Miller Sewell amid legal troubles. It was understood she would wrap up the deal within 60 days.
The complainant alleges that Miller Sewell only disbursed $19.8 million to the attorneys for the vendors and has neglected to pay the balance of $37.8 million despite repeated requests.
