Six-years into their far-reaching investigation, federal prosecutors insist that indictments are still forthcomings. It is uncetain whether Milber Weiss itself will face indictment, but two attorneys at the firm, Steven Schulman and David Bershad, a named partner, are apparently expecting personal indictments. At issue are payments, potential kickbacks, to real estate broker and former lead plaintiff, Howard Vogel.

Schulman was the lead attorney on the Vogel case and Bershad is the firm partner tasked with cash-flow responsibilities. Milberg reps, including Schulman and Bershad have been meeting with federal regulators in an effort to head off the potential indictments.
