A government expert has found Tom Girardi, accused of stealing millions of dollars from his clients, is fit to stand trial on federal criminal charges.
A government expert has concluded that Tom Girardi, the disgraced former attorney accused of stealing millions of dollars from his clients, is mentally fit to go before a juryFederal prosecutors revealed the finding of Diana Goldstein in a court filing on Friday, writing that the neuropsychologist “has concluded her examination and opined, among other things, that [Girardi] is competent to stand trial.
His lawyers at the federal public defender’s office did not immediately return messages seeking comment. They have retained two experts to evaluate Girardi, but their analyses have not been disclosed. Goldstein, who did not return a message seeking comment, practices in Chicago and has lectured on the topic of malingering, according to a resume posted online.
People close to Girardi have contended for years that he suffers from dementia that makes him unable to understand legal proceedings against him or explain what happened to tens of millions of dollars owed to clients from his once-revered firm, Girardi Keese. A forensic psychiatrist diagnosed him with Alzheimer’s in January 2021 and a judge subsequently placed him in a conservatorship overseen by his younger brother. He resides in a memory care facility and has been prescribed drugs for dementia, according to filings in his bankruptcy case.
