A former office assistant at a Georgia law firm faces over 100 felony and misdemeanor charges for allegedly stealing more than $190,000.
Nadine Brooks, 66, was employed at the Dozier Law Firm, a personal injury firm with four offices in Georgia, when the firm reported internal thefts to police in June 2025. An investigation by the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia traced more than $190,000 of the firm’s money to fraudulent payments of unauthorized credit cards belonging to Brooks between November 2020 and May 2025, according to coverage by Law360.
Brooks was charged with forgery and theft by conversion, according to court records. She was arrested in July and was later granted release on bond.
“There was no indication or allegation of any funds being stolen from any client, only from the Dozier Law Firm’s funds,” said David Dozier with the Dozier Law Firm.
Brooks is accused of stealing from the firm’s Macon, Georgia, location. Her legal counsel declined to comment.
