William Kamehameha Vogeler

Mr Vogeler represented himself to us as one who has a depth of experience as a family law attorney. This is completely false. We have had several family attorneys tell us they are at family court everyday and never see him there. He claimed to have experience in our particular issue which turned out... to be false as well. Over the years of owning a business I have dealt with legal issues and met with many attorneys. So it was almost immediately apparent that Vogeler had no clue, and a lack of knowledge about our case. After multiple red flags, we terminated the contract only 2 weeks into it! He made one 15 minute appearance at the court (and his ineptness with opposing counsel was part of the reason for termination). Yet he refused to refund any part our retainer, producing a padded bill for $5000, the exact amount of the retainer! (For example he charged $50 to open an email or text.) We hired an top notch family law attorney ( who is double Vogeler's hourly fee) and over the past months we have not even spent $5000 yet and the new attorney has done so much more work. We wished we had consulted AVVO before hiring him, but we agree 100% with all the poor ratings posted. Their experiences were the same as ours.

Seriously? Did this man go to law school? He claims he represents in Entertainment & Media, yet he takes on cases he has NO clue what so ever. All proven failures. He uses a car salesman approach to convince you to hang in there, he'll get you the results you are looking for and at the same time ...appears he has consultants he runs back to make sure he's on the right track. You CAN count on him sucking every penny out of you and wasting your time with unnecessary continuances in order to bleed my wife dry. This was counter productive to me as she looked favorable in the eyes of the court. PEOPLE ..... I urge you to proceed with caution. Do no let this happen...... get out when you can. My wife filed for divorce some time ago. This man has ignored opposing attorneys and should have been slammed with many sanctions. I was shocked he never was. He was an embarrassment in the court room.

Bill wasted over a year and a half of our time, kept telling us postponements are a good thing. Very poor responses, updates and lack of knowledge to handle our case. Our case was never resolved with him, had to fire him and get a competent lawyer. Total waste of time and money. Very disappointed!...
