1 /5 the Sagacious Nick: I originally made this review on Avvo and after many years Jason Vogelpohl disputed it and tried to remove it. So I am now posting it on multiple places so people can be aware of his character.
I met with Jason to consult about Bankruptcy. It was a simple BK, too much debt, not enough income. I easily fit in the guidelines for a chapter 7, however he tried to convince me a 13 was better.
I took his assessment to another lawyer and got a second opinion, she was baffled until she saw the prices he was charging. He said the fees were simple because they were regulated by CA. Not 100% true, the MAXIMUMS are regulated by CA. He was trying to charge me the maximum fees for every possible item.
Furthermore, I told him we should exclude the car loan as it was manageable and had a decent interest rate, he recommended against it because by including it he could charge another fee.
I ended up filing for chapter 7 with another lawyer, paying less than half what he would have charged me and all my debt was discharged without making payments.
Stay away form this guy.
