Jason Maughan

"I asked Jason to address a specific item. He filled time with tasks that did not need to be done nor for which I asked, he did not accomplish the task I requested, and then, when I refused to pay, he took the money from a retainer my mother had provided for unrelated work of hers. I was referred to Jason and he seemed confident and friendly. In retrospect, I suppose he is a "confidence man". My situation was simple. A lien and freeze order were placed on property I was trying to sell. I had received an offer, gave the buyer's contact info to Jason, and asked him if he could satisfy their requirements to buy the property. Jason answered that he could take care of it. Later, Jason told me he completed. When I tried to proceed with the buyer, I discovered Jason had not reached out to him and had not satisfied the buyer's requirements. The buyer was not willing to purchase (understandably so), unless the freeze order and lien were removed. Jason only removed the lien. I asked Jason why. Jason said he was unable to remove the freeze order. I asked why he spent any time at all if he knew from the start that he wasn't going to be able to satisfy the buyer. He said he didn't know the buyer wouldn't purchase if the freeze order was still in effect. I asked Jason why his first step wasn't simply to call the buyer and ask. He didn't have a response other than I needed to pay him. I refused to pay Jason and he took the money out of a retainer my mom had with him for unrelated work. My mom also stopped working with him when he told her that interrogatories were never effective and all questions must be answered in person. He tried to convince her to fly him and his assistant from FL to NY for a deposition when the same thing could have been accomplished by sending written questions. Jason is dishonest and definitely not your advocate."
