Ex-attorney, village solicitor arraigned

Accused of stealing $37K from victim

WARREN — A former Lisbon attorney and village solicitor pleaded not guilty Monday to felony criminal charges accusing her of stealing $37,500 from a victim from Trumbull County.

Virginia Barborak, 46, of Salem, was arraigned before Trumbull County Common Pleas Court Judge Peter J. Kontos, who issued a personal recognizance bond for the disbarred attorney. She faces charges of theft, perjury, forgery and two counts of tampering with evidence in connection to her private practice, according to prosecutors, who also allege the activity began in March 2015.

She was disbarred in December by the Ohio Supreme Court because of a six-year “pattern of dishonesty,” during which she misappropriated client funds and intentionally submitted false documentation to the courts.
