Lieff Cabraser represents African Methodist Episcopal Ministerial Retirement Annuity Plan participants and beneficiaries in a federal lawsuit filed against a former plan executive and other co-conspirators alleging fraud and embezzlement. The plaintiff clergy and church ministers and their families had long relied on the Church’s annuity plan for their retirement.

Lieff Cabraser’s case has been consolidated into multidistrict litigation before Judge S. Thomas Anderson of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, and a consolidated complaint will be filed in late August 2022.
