The indictment alleges from 2011 to 2016, Smith stole cash fees and created false bank documents to present to the firm's managing partner to further her scheme.

The felony count is punishable by up to two decades in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

Online court records don't show whether Smith has an attorney who can speak on her behalf.
