A plea deal filed in the case said prosecutors will recommend incarceration within the federal guidelines for Dolan, and that the government will also seek 'restitution of $2,022,460″ and other fines.
It wasn't immediately clear how much prison time the government will seek based on the guidelines.
'Defendant agrees that all criminal monetary penalties, including special assessment, restitution, forfeiture, and/or fine imposed shall be due and payable immediately, and further agrees that any Court-ordered repayment schedule does not preclude further enforcement or collection by the United States,' said the plea agreement.

Dolan was first licensed to practice law in Massachusetts in 1993, according to the state Board of Bar Overseers website, which listed him as having 'Disciplinary Proceedings Pending' as of June 30.
