Summary
Legal Team, we are back with another chapter in the Erika Girardi saga, this time unpacking the new federal lawsuit targeting her current attorney James Wilkes. We break down who Wilkes is, why he was sending Erika six figure payments before Tom Girardi’s collapse, and what Chris Psaila and Marco Morante are now accusing him of including civil abuse of process and conspiracy. We also share a quick update on Tom’s Illinois case and the shocking (or not so shocking) twist that dropped right after we finished recording.
What’s on the docket?
- Who James Wilkes is and his relationship with Erika & Tom
- The new federal lawsuit alleging abuse of process and conspiracy
- What an “abuse of process” claim actually means (in normal-people terms)
- How Wilkes and Erika are allegedly interfering, according to plaintiffs
- The evidence they point to: Wilkes’ supposed pattern of misusing legal tools
- A quick update on Tom Girardi’s now-closed Illinois case
- Why the judge ultimately dismissed the complaint
