Despite Girardi being at the center of hundreds of complaints, the once-wealthy professional continued to work within the field.
“Over the past 40 years, the State Bar opened 205 disciplinary matters about Girardi. Of the 205 matters, approximately 120 involved allegations relating to client trust account violations,” Duran revealed. “Of these 205 disciplinary matters, the State Bar received 69 complaints on or after December 18, 2020, when a petition was filed to force Girardi’s law firm into bankruptcy.”
