Girardi Trustee Sues to Block New York Attorney’s $7.5 Million Debt Discharge in Bankruptcy

The bankruptcy trustee overseeing the affairs of the now-defunct law firm of disgraced attorney Tom Girardi has initiated legal action against New York attorney Joseph DiNardo. The trustee seeks to prevent DiNardo from discharging a $7.5 million debt during his own bankruptcy proceedings. The claim asserts that DiNardo was complicit in a scheme to defraud Girardi’s clients, which resulted in the financial gains now under dispute. This case adds another layer to the ongoing legal challenges emerging from Girardi’s collapse. More details can be accessed through Law360.
