We would like to provide an update of the progress of the court-appointed trustee for the former clients of Matthew T. Graff & Associates. Our focus has been on identifying client files and making them available for pick-up by their owners, at both our office in St. George and at the former office of the Graff firm in Cedar City. Hundreds of letters have gone out to the former clients to notify them of the situation and to provide instructions for retrieval of their files.
Tim Anderson, as the trustee, has filed motions for continuance in several cases pending in the Fifth and Sixth District courts in which hearings were scheduled. We have provided information to the courts in those districts to make them aware of possible scheduling problems arising from the situation. We are currently investigating information on client trust funds and other client property.
If you are a former Graff client with a current matter which was being handled by the Graff office and you have not heard from us, please contact this office by calling Sheila Berger at 435 986-2101, or by email to sberger@joneswaldo.com.
If you are an attorney who wishes to be included on the panel of volunteers, please email tanderson@joneswaldo.com.
We feel it is important that the public understands that the trustee is handling these matters entirely on a volunteer basis, with no remuneration, and that no cases will be taken on by the trustee or any other attorney in his office.
