I received notice approx. a year ago that my BK attorney was turning his accounts over to one of his associates. I didn't really give it much thought cause the letter stated nothing would change. Then last night it hit the news that he is suspended from practicing law for 3 years.
PITTSBURGH —Jason Mazzei was the biggest bankruptcy lawyer in Pennsylvania. Now, he stands accused of overcharging hundreds of clients and misspending thousands of dollars. An investigation by the bankruptcy court later revealed Mazzei failed to fully disclose all his fees to the court, as the law requires. A separate investigation by the state Supreme Court disciplinary board found Mazzei misappropriated thousands of dollars in retainer fees from a credit counseling service and mishandled thousands more he received from clients.The bankruptcy court's chief judge cited 260 cases where Mazzei charged "fees totaling over $260,000 yet he failed to perform the services he represented to clients
It all makes sense now...
