A longtime secretary at Alston & Bird will serve three years in prison for embezzling more than $800,000 from the personal checking and credit card accounts of one of the law firm’s founding partners.

But Alston & Bird’s forensic accounting team has determined that secretary Francine Fonger did not siphon funds from any of the law firm’s accounts or those of its clients, according to an assistant U.S. attorney who prosecuted her.
