Peter Vogel is a lawyer at Gardere and receiver over Jeff Baron's property and person.  Vogel has a very long, extensive history with Jeff, dating back to 2001 when Jeff disclosed confidential information to Vogel in anticipation of hiring him (see Motion for Reconsideration).  Based on the same type of information that Jeff gave to Vogel in confidence, Vogel’s firm then sued Jeff multiple times in the ensuring years.   Then, Vogel was appointed a “special master” judge in the Netsphere/Baron case; later, he was later appointed “mediator in the same dispute. And now, Vogel has been appointed receiver over Jeff.  

Vogel and his firm have been taken well over a million dollars from Jeff’s money and paid themselves over Jeff’s objections. Taking advantage of the fact that Jeff is stripped of his civil rights and of his ability to hire appropriate lawyers to defend himself, Vogel and his “team” of lawyers have aggressively bullied, harassed and persecuted Jeff, repeatedly threatening him with contempt, jail.  Vogel has also demanded and received Jeff’s attorney-client privileged files and communications with his lawyers and has enticed numerous lawyers that were representing Jeff to cease representing Jeff and to work for him, by offering them exorbitant  payments from Jeff’s money. These lawyers, who represented Jeff prior to the receivership, are now employed by Vogel and are adverse to Jeff, taking Jeff’s money against his will.
