A former office manager for a downtown dental office was sentenced to one year in prison for embezzling more than $800,000 from the business over nearly a seven-year period.
Paula M. Sullivan, 45, formerly of Wilmette and now of Whitewater, Wis., pled guilty to bank fraud.
Sullivan, who managed Katz & Gershenzon Ltd.’s dental practice at 30 N. Michigan Ave., forged hundreds of checks drawn on the firm’s account, authorities said.
