Despite diagnosis, Girardi discipline will proceed, Bar says
The Office of Chief Trial Counsel will petition for Girardi’s disbarment if the default is not vacated or set aside, according to a news release Friday. The petition will go to the California Supreme Court for a final decision.
The State Bar is proceeding with the disbarment of Thomas V. Girardi, it said Friday, after a hearing court entered a default in his disciplinary case as he did not respond to the notice of charges.
Girardi's brother and conservator, Robert Girardi, has said that Girardi suffers from Alzheimer's disease. The State Bar previously said this diagnosis would prevent the agency from proceeding with disciplinary charges.
