The Girardi Keese trustee received more than $25 million in attorney fees from an environmental contamination settlement, the largest chunk of money to date that could compensate the creditors of Tom Girardi’s defunct law firm.
At a hearing on Tuesday, Elissa Miller of Greenspoon Marder in Los Angeles told U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Barry Russell about the more than $25 million check, which she received last week. The long-awaited fees come from a $1.8 billion settlement with Southern California Gas Co. and its parent company, Sempra Energy, over a 2015 gas leak in the Porter Ranch neighborhood of Los Angeles.
