Junior Larry Hillbroom named David Lujan, a Guam-based attorney, and 10 Does as defendants.
Also named as parties to the case were attorney Barry J. Israel, who is based in Santa Barbara, California, and Keith A. Waibel, who resides in Morro Bay, also in California.
According to Hillbroom’s attorney Mark B. Hanson, Lujan and Israel were lawyers retained to represent his client and his interest in a settlement case, while Waibel was one of the two trustees of Hillbroom’s estate.
The complaint included legal malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, civil conspiracy, and violations of California business and professions code.
Hillbroom is alleging that his former attorneys took too much money from his $90 million estate.
A staffer at Lujan’s law office on Guam said the lawyer was out yesterday.
Last month, a federal court in California dismissed a similar lawsuit due to lack of jurisdiction.
The court suggested the re-filing of the lawsuit either on Guam or in the CNMI.
One of the founders of DHL, Hillblom died in a plane crash in May 1995 and left an estate, amounting close to $550 million.
Hillbroom was still a minor at the time.
