Jon M Hogelin

I retained Jon Hogelin of Salcido Law Firm in December 2023 to register and modify a California custody order in Utah, paying a $5,000 retainer. Over the course of more than a year, Jon repeatedly assured me that filings were being made and progress was happening. In reality, the only document ever f...iled was factually incorrect—listing the wrong parties, referencing unrelated cases, and citing the wrong jurisdiction. The court rejected it, and my case never moved forward. Jon never informed me of the most basic requirement: I needed certified copies of my California court orders for registration in Utah. Because of this, my case was delayed nearly two years, putting my custodial rights at risk and forcing me to hire a new attorney to fix his mistakes. Communication was poor to nonexistent. I made countless calls and sent emails with little or no response. Despite this, I was billed for “review” and phone calls that produced nothing of value. When I finally demanded a refund, Salcido Law Firm issued a check that bounced due to a signature error, causing my bank account to go negative and adding even more stress and expense. To date, I am still owed a portion of my retainer, and my legal and financial situation has been severely damaged by Jon Hogelin’s incompetence and dishonesty. I have filed a bar complaint and fee dispute as a result. I strongly warn anyone considering this attorney: look elsewhere.

I had no idea of what to expect during a divorce or that it would be as high conflict as it was. Jon was very familiar with the unchartered and tumultuous waters I was dealing with. Throughout it all he was always helpful to answer any questions I had and willing to educate me on matters involving ...the case. He was able to help me remove emotion from the equation and make the most educated decisions possible. The most recognizable thing for me was that he really had the children’s best interest at hand and as a mother that was extremely important to me. I am forever grateful to Jon and the rest of the Salcido team for helping navigate me through the process and onto a better way of life. It gives me peace of mind to know this firm is there should I need their assistance in the future. I strongly recommend Jon & Salcido Law Firm.

I cannot say enough positive things about Jon. We started working with Jon when we were more or less a start-up. The confidence we felt in Jon proved evident throughout the process of our start-up. Jon was able to explain processes thoroughly, listen to our concerns, and respond to our questions with... clarity. As our company has evolved he has proved invaluable to us as he has helped with day to day issues on three different companies. Jon has provided specialized intervention to mediate disputes with success. That alone has been worth 3 years of fees to him. I could go on and on about Jon's role in our company and how we would probably no longer be in business if it weren't for him. In short, I can comfortably and confidently recommend Jon's services to anyone considering him for a start-up or other legal matters. He knows his stuff!
