From the LVRJ: High-profile Las Vegas bankruptcy attorney Randolph Goldberg pleaded guilty Friday to one count of tax evasion.
He struck a deal with federal prosecutors to serve 18 months in prison and voluntarily give up his Nevada law license for two years.
Goldberg, 49, who regularly advertised on television, was indicted by a federal grand jury in September on four counts of tax evasion over a four-year period and five counts of structuring financial transactions to avoid paying taxes.
All but the single tax evasion charge for 2008 will be dismissed at his May 23 sentencing.
Goldberg also could pay as much as $400,000 in restitution under the terms of his plea agreement, which is not binding on U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro when she hands out the sentence.
When Navarro asked Goldberg in court Friday how he wanted to plead, he replied, “Guilty as charged.”
He acknowledged he concealed law practice income from the Internal Revenue Service on his 2008 tax return.
His lawyer, Richard Schonfeld, asked Navarro for as early a sentencing date as possible because Goldberg “would like to put this behind him sooner than later.”
Afterward, Schonfeld said, “Mr. Goldberg accepts responsibility for his mistakes and looks forward to returning to his law practice with the permission of the Nevada State Bar after he serves prison time.” http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/crime-courts/bankruptcy-attorney-goldberg-pleads-guilty-tax-evasion
