Accounting records for Atlanta lawyer Nathan Hardwick IV’s bankrupt former firm are expected to play a big part in his criminal trial for embezzlement, which started Sept. 17. Opening statements are scheduled for Monday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.

Morris Hardwick Schneider is still in bankruptcy proceedings, more than three years after it filed for Chapter 11, due to the “poor condition of the debtor’s books and records,” according to a recent filing by the liquidating trustee in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
