Helped Me Avoid Bankruptcy

John helped me avoid bankruptcy 15 years ago during my divorce. He joined a meeting with my former husband and our family law attorneys and influenced a very stressful experience into a manageable one. After my former husband's disastrous bankruptcy experience before our marriage, I insist that ...friends and clients only contact John to discuss debt issues. John is trustworthy, knowledgable, experienced, respectful and truly cares about the best results for the client. I've worked and interacted with many attorneys for my personal legal needs (family law, bankruptcy, business) and for my clients' businesses, John is at the top of the list in every way. I saw this opportunity to post a review for John because I'm confirming his contact info. before sending another referral to him today.

The poor review is bogus - scammer - Vos is Top Notch

The review with header "Beware" is bogus. I was sitting in conference with Mr. Vos when that man showed up and started making a loud commotion. I overhead everything, as he wanted to BARGE IN on our meeting. Mr. Vos graciously asked me if he could be excused and Mr. Vos then went out to speak with th...e man. The man said that he was leaving his wife and needed funds. Mr. Vos and he discussed that he first contacted the office in January of 2011, had a follow-up interview with Mr. Vos in May, yet waited until the END OF OCTOBER to retain Mr. Vos and pay him anything. When the man complained that his wife took his mail and he did not receive what had been sent to him, Mr. Vos came back into his private office and then Mr. Vos printed-out from the computer in his office the complete set of draft documents which had been prepared for the man A MERE THREE DAYS after he retained Mr. Vos. Mr. Vos then handed the 'replacement' set to this man. It's ludicrious to complain about delay and service when the man himself is rude, unreasonable, and just plain wrong. Under difficult circumstances of this man's own making, I heard Mr. Vos calmly and thoroughly explain that he gave to the man everything needed to file the case, that he would prepare an accounting of his time, and refund to the man promptly what portion of the retainer was NOT used up. I also heard them discuss that the man had not fully paid the retainer and that his first check bounced. Bonus - the man threatened to extort money from Mr. Vos if Mr. Vos did not stop my interview with him then and there an pay him 100% back. Sounds to me like Mr. Vos did prepare an accounting and did refund to the man MORE THAN 50% of what was paid. As to Mr. Vos - my observation of him handling this joker was that he was prompt, gracious and more than fair. As to this Man - can you say scammer? Turns out he claims to be a paralegal but actually sells used cars.
