Saco attorney guilty of money laundering to resume practice

SACO, Maine – After spending nine months in a Pennsylvania federal prison on a money laundering charge, a Saco attorney is set to resume his law practice in Maine.

State Supreme Court Justice Donald Alexander ruled in March to reinstate the law license of 54-year-old Gary Prolman, who pleaded guilty to laundering $177,500 in cash for a convicted marijuana smuggler in 2014.

The Maine Board of Overseers of the Bar sought to permanently disbar Prolman, but Alexander disagreed because his crimes weren’t connected to his practice. The board declined to appeal.

Prolman says he’s ready to move forward and his practice will be open for business at 12:01 a.m. on July 1.

Prolman spent nine months of his two-year sentence in prison, followed by time in a halfway house and home confinement.
