Military Veteran exposes a candidate for the Family Court Bench! 1/24/13

Veterans In Politics International (VIPI) release an article on July 24, 2020, entitled “Jason Stoffel’s corrupt family law attorney string-pullers are working overtime to help make him a Family Court judge” (click onto the link to view article: https://veteransinpolitics.org/2020/07/jason-stoffels-corrupt-family-law-attorney-string-pullers-are-working-overtime-to-help-make-him-a-family-court-judge/ ). In this article, we demonstrated how Jason Stoffel’s judicial candidate for Clark County District Court Family Division Department T is nothing but an opportunist. Stoffel browned-nose his way as Clark County Bar Association President and used that position to satisfy a personal agenda. Stoffel used VIPI in 2014 in a failed attempt to overthrow Judge Vincent Ochoa in the General Election. Stoffel is also using an endorsement “Nevada Veterans Association” after we repeatedly sent him a cease and desist (see the article A PUBLIC NOTICE TO CEASE AND DESIST https://veteransinpolitics.org/2020/06/a-public-notice-to-cease-and-desist/ ). In this election, Stoffel aligned himself with a corrupt couple who are also Family Court Attorneys Mr. and Mrs. Marshal Willick and Jennifer Abrams in a desperate attempt to secure the judgeship for Department T.

It’s extremely rare for a client to sue his own attorney we provided information that shows Jason Stoffel was sued by his client Russell Zitch an Airforce Veteran. VIPI decided that the article wasn’t enough, so we tracked down Russell Zitch and interviewed him on the Veterans In Politics video internet talk-show last week.

Zitch explains that he was in a 26-year marriage with no children involved. When hunting for an attorney Zitch interviewed Jason Stoffel for his divorce case at Stoffel’s office. Stoffel told Zitch the divorce will only cost $3,000 and he would receive a partial refund. Stoffel indicated to Zitch that his divorce case is a “slam-dunk” and for Zitch not to worry about paying any alimony.

In the first court appearance, Zitch indicated that Stoffel was hired as a mouthpiece but stayed silent when senior judge Gerald Hardcastle wanted Zitch to pay alimony. After that court appearance the two met again Zitch said that Stoffel indicated to him that he was trying to have his divorce case be placed before Family Court Judge Jennifer Elliot, indicating that he Stoffel and Judge Elliot has a personal relationship and pointed to a photo on Stoffel’s desk.

Zitch said both him and his ex-wife had separate Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) Zitch indicated that there was a meeting with his ex-wife and her attorney Carol Menninger and his attorney Jason Stoffel. They all agreed that both IRA’s should be combined and split 50/50. Days later Zitch said that Stoffel failed to put his ex-wife IRA into the divorce decree but didn’t fail to have his IRA listed. Zitch said this malpractice cost him over $27,000 plus now he has to pay additional attorney’s fees to Stoffel to fix Stoffel’s mistake. Zitch said he gave up half of his IRA leaving his ex-wife with one hundred percent of her IRA.

Stoffel was never apologetic, never took responsibility for his incompetence, showed absolutely no compassion or empathy. Instead, Stoffel blames his client Russell Zitch for not catching it before he signed the divorce decree. Stoffel charges Zitch another $1,700 in attorney’s fees to correct Stoffel’s incompetence and Jennifer Elliot was the presiding judge.

Stoffel continues with his misleading and incompetence to his client Russell Zitch by having Zitch pay alimony at $200 per month after initially explaining to Zitch that alimony was off the table. Zitch wanted to stop paying attorney’s fees and wanted to put this divorce behind him thinking that his ex-wife was egger to remarry within a year, so he thought that when she remarries Zitch would stop paying alimony according to Nevada Laws. That wasn’t the case Stoffel made the alimony non-modifiable which guarantees six years of alimony married or not. Stoffel never explained the legal terms to his client Russell Zitch and cost him another $14,000.

Zitch said Stoffel has no business being an attorney and now he wants to elevate himself to judge. Zitch said he filed two complaints with the Nevada State Bar and the complaints were dismissed both times with a mountain of evidence he provided and by the time the state bar came back with their dismissal the clock ran out on his lawsuit, but not before Zitch paid another $8,000 to hire another attorney to sue Stoffel.

Zitch indicated that Stoffel violated his Oath of an attorney.
