Talk:Girardi & Keese

There is nothing about what lead to the bankruptcy ?
I think the Girardi & Keese mentioned in this article is the same law firm mentioned in https://news.bloomberglaw.com/legal-ethics/girardi-legacy-california-client-trust-program-inaugurated The key parts of the bloomberglaw article are:
 * ... And it follows an audit finding that the bar failed to act on years of complaints that disgraced and disbarred attorney Tom Girardi didn’t hand over millions in awards to clients. Girardi and Girardi Keese LLP have since been forced into bankruptcy with hundreds of millions in claims against the estates.


 * ... The agency in January retained outside law firm Halpern May Ybarra Gelberg LLP to conduct an internal investigation to identify who may have helped dispatch discipline complaints against Girardi.

I noticed the name in the bloomberglaw article is "Girardi and Girardi Keese" while this article is about "Girardi & Keese". I think these are about the same company as both were forced into bankruptcy in 2021. --Marc Kupper&#124;talk


 * Update, I discovered that the Thomas Girardi article has some details that likely should also be in this article, or perhaps that the two articles be merged if Thomas Girardi and his law firm are more or less the same entity. It appear that Robert Keese was not part of the company at the time it was shut down. https://girardikeese.com/gk-team/ says the partners were John A. Girardi, Thomas V. Girardi, Keith D. Griffin, Claus Fritz Mory, Kenny S. Ramirez, Alexa F. Galloway, Arin Scapa, Samantha Gold. The two Girardis likely explains why some reports call the company "Girardi and Girardi Keese LLP."


 * https://www.law.com/search/?q=Girardi+Keese&Submit=Search&source=falcon&source=decisions&startDate=&endDate= shows that the investigation into this firm is still active. --Marc Kupper&#124;talk 05:58, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
