At the time, Tom said he opposed the conservatorship “all together” and suggested he would “address” his concerns — including reasons it should be “dissolved” — in court. Like his disbarment, he ultimately did not contest the designation.
“I think that we should put together the reasons why the conservatorship should be dissolved, and then we’ll address it, address the court,” the once-famed attorney continued. “Right now, I have nothing to say to the court.”

Girardi completed a mental assessment on February 28 as part of his brother’s petition to become his conservator. Robert had been named Tom’stemporary conservatorearlier that month.
On Wednesday’s episode ofThe Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,Erika Girardisuggested her ex-husband has not been in a healthy mental state. She said Tom “will have to pay a price” for his actions if the allegations against him in court are accurate.
“I think what has happened to Tom here is that he’s not mentally capable, and he’s in sole control of his firm. And I think that it got away from him,“Erika told her castmates on the show.
“I think that we’re dealing with a man who is [at a] diminished capacity in control, and not doing the right thing. Because if he stole the money, I’d like to know where it is. You know, that’s the truth,” she added.

“This is not a step taken lightly or easily,” Erika told PEOPLE shortly after filing for divorce. “I have great love and respect for Tom and for our years and the lives we built together.”
Tom had not been in public after his divorce from Erika until early August 2021, when he was spotted with a black eye on the left side of his face while appearing to receive assistance from a woman while walking.
