The criminal trial of disbarred attorney Tom Girardi continues, with testimony revealing significant financial misconduct at his former law firm, Girardi Keese. During the trial's fifth day, several witnesses provided accounts of Girardi's alleged attempts to confuse clients regarding missing settlement funds. Attorney Eric Seuthe testified about receiving over 20 voicemails from Girardi in 2020, where Girardi expressed remorse while attempting to deflect blame. Ex-client Josefina Hernandez recounted her struggles to obtain a $135,000 pelvic mesh settlement, stating that Girardi seemed to be deliberately confusing her. Testimony also included revelations about millions spent on lavish parties, private jets, and Erika Girardi's business, totaling $69 million from 2010 to 2020, while Tom Girardi withdrew $26.7 million from the firm's operating accounts. An IRS agent confirmed these findings, highlighting the stark contrast between the firm's extravagant expenditures and the clients' unpaid settlements. The trial has also seen emotional testimonies from clients, including Erika Saldana, who described the distress of not receiving a $1 million settlement for her sick son. The proceedings are ongoing as jurors hear more about Girardi's alleged financial misdeeds and the impact on his clients.
