A Sarasota County family, featured in the Netflix documentary ‘Take Care of Maya,’ is suing their former attorneys, Greg and Jennifer Anderson, and the AndersonGlenn law firm in Jacksonville. The family claims the lawyers mismanaged millions of dollars from their medical malpractice settlement, diverting funds meant for legal costs to purchase a multi-million dollar home and a yacht.
Allegations of Constructive Fraud
The lawsuit, filed in Sarasota County, accuses the Andersons of constructive fraud and misconduct. According to court documents, the family alleges the Andersons charged excessive fees and misspent money from a client trust account. The family claims the attorneys helped arrange an advance funding loan totaling about $42 million for legal costs, but millions went to the lawyers instead to pay off debts and for other personal expenses.
Greg Anderson defended his firm, stating that a judge already ordered a resolution on most of these issues last month. Anderson said his team has all receipts, invoices, and communications, and plans to file a counter-claim against the family for fraud, slander, and defamation.
