The civil lawsuit filed by DHL heir Junior Larry Hillbroom against his former attorneys and his trust manager has turned into a disagreement over the release of documents.
Hillbroom, the son of deceased DHL co-founder Larry Hillblom, in February sued attorneys David Lujan and Barry Israel and trust manager Keith Waibel in the Los Angeles federal court, accusing them of taking too much money from his $90 million settlement. They allegedly changed their fee agreement, from 38 percent to 56 percent, without his knowledge, the complaint by Hillbroom states.
According to documents filed in court this week by Hillbroom attorney Graham Lippsmith, Lujan won't give Hillbroom copies of Lujan's files related to the Hillbroom case, including financial records. And Hillbroom allegedly won't allow his entire guardianship case file to be unsealed for use in the civil lawsuit.
Guardianship is an issue in the complaint because Hillbroom was a minor when some of the alleged actions by his attorneys and trust manager supposedly happened.

ReplyDeleteAren't both sides supposed to share information prety much freely?
ReplyDeleteLooks like deny and delay is just running up the tab - at Larry Hillbroom's expense.
This situation reminds me why we burned our original will with a trust clause.
