Angus Cloud’s Mother Sues Hackard Law Over $310,000 Claim on Late Actor’s Estate

The Alameda County filing says the lawyers pressed a baseless demand despite earlier court rejections.

Overview

  • Lisa Cloud accuses Hackard Law, Michael Hackard, and Brian Geremia of fraud, elder abuse, malicious prosecution, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
  • The suit says the firm pursued Jonathan Kim’s unsupported assertion that he was Cloud’s assistant and was owed about $310,000.
  • She alleges a $195,000 commissions figure and listed contracts were fabricated, claiming false evidence was submitted to the court.
  • Cloud says she spent roughly $64,000 defending an estate valued at around $50,000 and suffered severe emotional distress.
  • The complaint cites a confidentiality breach that preceded threatening messages, seeks compensatory and punitive damages including potential treble damages, and notes Kim’s claims were rejected in 2024; the new case remains pending.
