With the plaintiff’s portion of the Alston & Bird legal malpractice moving into its final stages, jurors got a chance to hear from the brothers and co-managers of the family company accusing the law firm of allowing their older sibling to allegedly steal $1.5 million from Hatcher Management Holdings.

Company co-managers Jerry and Barry Hatcher testified Wednesday that they trusted their older brother, Maury, and Alston & Bird partner Jack Sawyer to protect the company’s interests and only found out about Maury’s alleged theft after getting corporate records that were withheld when he was the manager.
