A 19th Judicial District Court Judge has ruled that former State Sen. Rob Marionneaux must repay more than $1 million he wrongfully took from his former law partner Lewis Unglesby, with whom he was in practice from 2003 until 2012.
The ruling comes as part of a civil suit over the dissolution of the former partners’ law firm, Unglesby & Marionneaux, and does not ascribe any criminal wrongdoing to Marionneaux, who served in the Louisiana Senate from 1996 to 2012. However, during a three-day hearing last summer, Unglesby’s attorney, Jerry Dodson, accused Marionneaux of misappropriating more than $1 million from the firm without Unglesby’s knowledge.
