A Miami attorney destroyed evidence and then spent two years derailing a former client’s efforts to recover those documents, according to a ruling by Circuit Court Judge Bronwyn Miller.

Attorney Erik Wesoloski fought a motion to compel his turnover of electronic files to attorneys representing his former client, Progress Residential LP, but did not disclose that he had already wiped the information from his company’s hard drives, according to a complaint accusing him of breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and constructive fraud.
