Famed Erin Brockovich Lawyer Tom Girardi Loses Law License

Tom Girardi, the real-life “Erin Brockovich” attorney and husband to “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Erika Jayne, has lost his law license as the apparent result of an ongoing conservatorship case.

Girardi, 81, has Alzheimer’s disease and is unable to participate in court proceedings, according to a psychiatrist’s assessment filed in the case that was obtained by TheWrap.

The developments are the latest in a long set of trying circumstances for the famed attorney; Girardi’s younger brother took over a conservatorship for him last month.

In December, Girardi’s once-esteemed downtown Los Angeles law firm, Girardi Keese, fell apart as evidence mounted that he had stolen or misappropriated more than $13 million in settlements, according to the Los Angeles Times. He then declared bankruptcy, and a federal criminal investigation was launched.

His defense attorney later stated Girardi was unable to assist in his defense, which was backed by Wednesday’s court filing.

“Dementia impairs his ability to understand the hearing,” Superior Court consulting psychiatrist Dr. Nathan Lavid wrote, noting that Girardi had late-onset Alzheimer’s. “His emotional distress is directly related to his dementia and exacerbated by his confusion.”

His wife Jayne said in November she was filing for divorce after 21 years of marriage to Girardi, the real-life attorney who won the case against the utility company that inspired the Julia Roberts classic “Erin Brockovich.”

He suffers from "Convenient Onset Alzheimer's."

Erika Jayne is a fucking whore!!!

Poor guy has dementia.

I'm not at all surprised that cunt Erika left him.

She's a selfish twat!

Is there anyone on Earth who doesn't still believe that Erika Jayne is a GRIFTING, GOLD DIGGING CUNT?

Who's going to take care of him, now that his "loyal wife" has left him?

For anyone who cares about accuracy, Girardi was the bigger lawyer brought in to close the case. A character based on him was played by Peter Coyote. Erin's boss was Ed Masry, who was an actual person and whose name was used in the film. Girardis name wasnt used in the movie

Girardi seemed fine on last year's episodes with Erika.

TOM GIRALDI IS NOT INSANE. And I’m the dame who can prove it.
