Two men who work at a Lexington law firm are now accused of breaking the law.
“It’s been six weeks we called and left a message,” said one alleged victim.
Those messages were for Charles Mills and John Brady, who both worked at the Porter Law Firm on Alysheba Way in the Hamburg area. A law firm that, according to the website, specialized in divorce, bankruptcy and disability matters.

But now, the men are in legal trouble of their own.
“We gave them the money and then we never did hear anything. Not one thing. They never called him, they never said ‘hey, this is what happened.’ Nothing,” said a victim who didn’t want to be identified.
The woman says her fiancé paid Mills and Brady $500 to settle a divorce from a previous marriage so they could get married.
“I think I have documented on my calendar where we contacted them 32 times,” she said.
Lexington police say Mills and Brady accepted money from six other clients but never did the job they promised. Mills was allegedly acting as an office manager and Brady as an attorney. Although police say neither one was licensed to practice law.
One of the alleged victims says she even tried to stop by their office numerous times.
“And nobody even in that complex where they’re at… would ever see people coming and going,” she said.
LEX 18 tried to reach the accused, but they never returned the calls and their office was closed.
The alleged victims say they don’t expect to see their money again, but they do want Mills and Brady to pay for the crime.
Lexington Police are asking any more victims to come forward. They say more charges could be pending.

Officials say he was pronounced dead on the scene.
The victim’s name will not be released until family is notified.
No other vehicles were involved.
Police say it appears the victim was not wearing a seatbelt. The Fayette County coroner says they’ll perform standard toxicology but are not ruling out drugs or alcohol.
It was a cold case murder in Jessamine County for six years, until Wednesday. Two men, 34-year-old David Peel and 46-year-old Odis Henson, were arrested in connection with Mark Dunn’s murder.
Now Dunn’s family is finally getting some answers. His sister, Anna Long, said she always knew arrests would be made. However, Long said the wait hasn’t been easy.
“It’s been like I have been in jail. My joy is gone, my joy died with my brother,” said Long.

She has been trapped in the heartbreak of the unknown for more than half a decade. Long said justice for her brother is long overdue.
“I want them to spend the rest of their natural life reliving everyday what they have done. I want them to feel my pain,” said Long.
Back in 2008, Dunn was found shot and burned in his pickup truck. Now, Peel has been indicted in the crime and charged with murder, arson, robbery and evidence tampering. He’s a man Dunn’s sister said was an acquaintance of her brother.
However, when asked if Long thought Peel was a suspect, she said “Yes. Because, he was the last person my brother talked to on the phone.”
Still, for Peel’s neighbors who saw the arrest, it’s a shock.
“It’s like, wow. Everybody is standing outside looking at him going jail thinking what did Dave do? He’s a sweet guy,” said Shekena Kenion, who lives next door to Peel. “And then we heard that he killed somebody and it’s like, wow, you know you can’t trust nobody.”
“He’s a sweet guy, I wouldn’t think he would kill anybody,” said Jessica King, who also lives near Peel.
While neighbors said this arrest is hard to comprehend, it’s what a Grand Jury decided. They also said Odis Henson was involved Dunn’s murder. He is charged with arson and evidence tampering.
Dunn’s sister said she hopes both suspects stay in jail for good, and that her family can start the road to closure.
“Thank God, that maybe we can get some rest,” said Long. “Because, you know, somebody is going to pay and they deserve to pay.”
Both Peel and Henson told LEX 18 News that they did not want to tell their sides of the story.
