Well Legal Team, we recorded this before the news broke that Erika settled, which is HUGE news and brings an anticlimatic ending to this 4 year-long legal battle . Last episode, we went through the claims that were going to the judge, and now we are tackling the claims that were going to the jury. Even though the trial won’t take place, we hope this episode still provides knowledge and understanding around why this $25 million lawsuit was sold, what claims against Erika were being pursued by the plaintiff, the key witnesses from each side, and what Erika’s defenses would have been.

What’s on the docket?

Who are the key witnesses
Background on how expert witnesses are paid/handled
The claims going to the jury
The plaintiff's key evidence
How plaintiff must prove that the transfers to EJ Global were fraudulent

How plaintiff must prove that using the embezzled client trust account funds and firm operational funds to pay for the personal expenses constitutes a wrongful disposition of Girardi Keese property
