Before she was arrested, former attorney Kelly Duford Williams closed her office and vanished. On Monday, the Kirkland Police Department arrested her in Snohomish County, Washington.
A friend referred Kia Vaara to Williams’ firm, Slate Law Group, when she needed to hire an attorney.
"She wanted to help her fellow woman, and I was a single mother and she believed in me and I believed her," Vaara said. Vaara said Williams began making excuses, first that she mailed the check to the wrong address, then that she misspelled Vaara’s name. The check Williams said was in the mail never arrived.
