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.
