A Montgomery attorney has been convicted and sentenced on one count of financial exploitation of the elderly, which is a felony.
The Attorney General’s Office says the case against 39-year-old John Warren Godwin results from the misuse of his position as a guardian and conservator for an elderly military veteran in need of immediate and long-term care.
The Attorney General’s Office says it opened an investigation into Godwin in June 2022 after receiving information from a local bank that identified suspicious transactions from the victim’s accounts. That investigation revealed that Godwin was court-appointed in 2018 to represent D.N., an elderly military veteran in need of emergency protective services who had no family to care for him.
As a condition of Godwin’s plea, he agreed to pay $345,000 in restitution to the victim, which the Attorney General’s Office says is the value of the home Godwin lost in the tax sale; to permanently surrender his license with the Alabama State Bar; to disclaim any and all bequests, interests, inheritances and duties from any and all last wills and testaments of the victim; and to pay all other court costs and fees.
