Earlier this year, Girardi and his law firm were forced into Chapter 7 bankruptcy by his many creditors. The once-respected lawyer is accused of running his law firm like a Ponzi scheme for over a decade.

Many of his former clients tell a similar story. They claim he represented them in legal action, won them a large settlement, and then came up with excuses when it came time to pay.

Jayne is accused of benefiting from his alleged embezzlement. In one federal lawsuit, a law firm named Edelson claims Girardi failed to pay out $2 million to a group of orphans and widows who lost loved ones in a plane crash.

Edelson helped represent the family members — with Girardi’s law firm — in a suit against Boeing. The orphans and widows worked out a settlement but claim they were screwed by Jayne’s husband. They are also suing Jayne claiming she filed a “sham” divorce to hide assets.
