A Shreveport attorney has been charged with numerous felony offenses, said Caddo Sheriff Steve Prator.

Christopher Sices, 36, was arrested on Thursday following an investigation by Caddo Sheriff’s Det. Doug Smith of the Caddo-Shreveport Financial Crimes Task Force. Sices was booked into the Caddo Correctional Center for identity theft, forgery, and two counts of theft.

The investigation which began in February determined that Sices forged another attorney’s signature on settlement checks and used her federal tax ID number instead of his own. In those same cases, he is accused of keeping money for himself that should have been used to pay clients’ medical bills.

Sices is also accused of keeping money that was paid to a client by an insurance company and forging that client’s signature on two checks.

The total loss in these cases was $11,310.
