I do NOT recommend Jason Laas-Sughrue of JLS law in Waco/Arlington
I do not recommend and will never refer anyone to Jason Laas-Sughrue of JLS law. I made the mistake of responding to a mailed flyer and contacting Jason Laas-Sughrue by phone on September 16th. In that initial phone conversation he said he would first reach out to the opposing counsel and request a forbearance, modification or some other type of resolution other than bankruptcy. But if needed a bankruptcy could be done. He said over the phone his retainer to do all this was $400. He then wanted to do a Zoom meeting on September 17 – which took an hour of basically me watching him type a letter, asking for documents (which could have been done via text or email) and him asking me questions he already had the answer to - like my cell number that he had already used to text and email of which he had already asked for documents. It was a complete waste of time. He asked for a 2nd zoom, which consisted of him saying the attachments in your emails did not come though please re-send. That was it. Again waste of time. This could have been communicated via text or email. During that zoom his assistant Molly said they had everything they needed, they were in contact with opposing counsel and that if we needed to do a bankruptcy she would make sure to have all paper work for me to sign on October 1st. She said they would call on September 29th to confirm. NO one called. I complained. He requested a 3rd zoom which literally consisted of him saying….Molly is going to email you later with questions to finish the documents…. Molly did not email. No one called on October 1st. I complained on October 2nd. and complained about not receiving the documents that I needed to design. This incompetent person then said I am waiting on the retainer. (Had never asked before – poor business ethics). I sent the $400 on Friday, October 3rd after I had to ask for an invoice, link or some way to pay the retainer as he had only said….”how do you want to send the retainer”. Again poor business practices. . No response. I reached out on Saturday, October 4. No response. I continued to email & text. He then said his retainer was $4250 instead of $400. He now was wanting the entire atty fee allowed by the courts – even though his initial email said… “This fee is generally approved by the bankruptcy court and is paid through your Chapter 13 plan.” I panic since the sale date was Tuesday October 7th and I had not planned (over these past weeks ) for $4000 since he had said $400. I complained. His response was I’ll send you back your $400. That was it. He left me hanging to find someone to assist me with just 1 business day before the sale. This speaks volumes of his integrity & character. There was no contract, lack of disclosure and lies from the beginning to the end. I do not recommend Jason Laas-Sughrue of JLS Law out of Waco (or Arlington as they claim). He also goes by Jason Sughrue and Jason Delmar. I would not trust this shady person with any thing that is important to your family.
