Kenneth Joseph Vacovec

When my father passed away, I explored using Attorney Vacovec to help settle his estate sice my father had set up his Will and Estate Plan with Vacovec's office. After a couple of phone calls and a meeting at Vacovec's office to understand the process and expense for Vacovec to settle my father's ...estate and to revise my mother's estate plan, I notified Attorney Vacovec that we decided to use another attorney. Vacovec sent us $1500 in invoices and subtracted fees for himself and a junior attorney from a retainer that my father set up for a different purpose. We did NOT sign the engagement letter and instead told Vacovec that we were going to use another firm. After requesting that all funds be returned (except for $250 to cover expenses to send my copies of the Will and Estate Plan documents), I received a confrontational 2 page letter from Vacovec saying that I would not be refunded as the $1500 was justified. I do not recommend that anyone do business with Ken Vacovec or his junior Attorney Les Hoiberg.
