Part 91: Los Angeles Corruption Investigation Updates - Izek Shomof Versus Patrick Wizmann
By Zachary Ellison, Independent Journalist
Published April 2, 2024.
The latest legal action in the showdown between wealthy Israeli-American real estate developer Izek Shomof and his brother-in-law, Moroccan-American Patrick Wizmann. Aside from sharing a common faith, Shomof and Wizmann have a bond of marriage, with the former having married the latter’s sister Aline with whom he has had five children. Attorneys for Patrick Wizmann have filed two lawsuits, one over real estate in Shadow Hills in the San Fernando Valley, and another over Shomof’s recent book distributed by Simon & Schuster, Dreams Don’t Die that along with telling his life story goes into the world of Los Angeles politics and homelessness crisis. The whole story is like something straight out of the Kardashians with legal sparks flying around!
Wizmann’s litigation, initiated by the firm Grant Shenon LLP is up against Shomof’s attorneys at Allen Matkins Leck Gamble LLP in the real estate case, and in the book case Simon & Schuster joined by Forefront Books, who created the book jacket are being represented by Fox Rothschild LLP. The latter is scheduled for a May 24 9:00 am hearing in Superior Court before the honorable Bruce G. Iwasaki. A trial date regarding the 18-acre Wheatland Property that Wizmann currently resides on is yet to be set, which also delves into another property in Nichols Canyon that the two former business partners agreed to work on with the outcomes now in dispute. Wizmann is the one who has come forward with the matter, which was briefly covered in a legal publication the Daily Journal prior to me picking up the story for investigation.
