A Muskego woman has been charged with theft and money laundering for allegedly embezzling over $50,000 while working at a dental company in Glendale.
According to a criminal complaint obtained from the Glendale Police Department, 36-year-old Sarah Kasprzak submitted 22 false invoices to customers between February and August 2023, embezzling $52,230 from the company where she worked, Heartland Dental, LLC, which provides operational and employment support to dentists.
Kasprzak was charged with theft in a business setting and money laundering an amount between $10,000 and $100,000, felonies which each come with a fine of up to $25,000 and/or imprisonment for a maximum of 10 years.
Kasprzak is scheduled to appear in court for an initial hearing on Feb. 21.
Court records show Kasprzak pleaded guilty on June 3, 2024 to felony theft in a business setting ($10,000–$100,000) and felony forgery under an amended information. The court ordered 12 months in the House of Correction on the theft count and a consecutive 6 months on the forgery count, but stayed both sentences and placed her on two years of probation with Huber privileges for work, school, and childcare, plus 80 hours of community service at a Milwaukee County non-profit.
Notably for practice owners, the court set restitution at zero and waived all non-mandatory costs — the case was closed in June 2026 with the victimized DSO recovering nothing through the criminal process. It is a stark example of why criminal prosecution alone rarely makes a practice whole, and why insurance and civil recovery planning matter.
