Orange County law firm: Logan out of here.

Were you horrified at the news that Sharon Logan, a five-time financial felon with six figures of unpaid criminal restitution, who didn’t pay her income taxes for the past three years but claimed $250 a month for facials in her recent bankruptcy petition, was working as the office manager at a respectable, boutique law firm in south Orange County?

Apparently the law firm was, too.

We’ve confirmed Sharon Logan is no longer at that law firm. (We’ve stopped using the firm’s name because we figure they’ve been through enough already.)

We’re hoping that this post will give a heads-up to local law firms and similar professional businesses. Despite her many convictions for stealing money, and the resulting prison and jail sentences, Logan still seems determined to work in an upscale office setting where she is in charge of money. (She even sneered at someone recently for working at Dollar Tree and said she was unashamed of her time in lockup, see below.)

Two days after we emailed the firm Logan’s eight theft convictions (including two for theft from employer, and one for embezzlement) we found its ad for a new office manager. Among the requirements was “emotionally stable.” We can imagine what might have prompted that.

We were able to get a copy of the resume Logan reportedly used to get the job. (See below.) It’s full of falsehoods, as shown by Logan’s lengthy legal trail.

For example: Logan claimed she was the controller at Meridian Systems Supply in Orange from January 2015 through June 2021. But in her August 27, 2022 bankruptcy petition, under penalty of perjury, Logan claimed she’d been on unemployment all of 2020, and most of 2021. (See below.) She also failed to pay income taxes for 2019, 2020 and 2021.

Logsn also claimed she’d worked at the law office of the now-deceased Gary Wykidal in Newport Beach from January, 2009 to January, 2015, as the director of finance and administration. But Logan (who back then, was only a 3-time financial felon) was receiving unemployment benefits in 2012. We know this because the state’s EDD received a judgment against her in 2013 for $10,229.38 in overpaid benefits, in Sacramento Case No. 34-2013- 90044856. (See below.) It’s one of the many debts Logan is trying to dump in her bankruptcy.

We also found evidence of Logan’s 2012 unemployment benefits in her unsuccessful opposition to her ex-boyfriend’s eviction against her. (She attached bank statements to the opposition that show receipt of the benefits, see below.)

The same ex-boyfriend, Alex R., was also granted a restraining order against her in Case No. 11V001517; it was in effect until February 2021. In one of Logan’s declarations in that case, in 2012, she claimed she had just gotten a new job. That doesn’t jibe with her resume’s claim of working at Wykidal’s law office from 2009 to 2015. (Logan tried to get a restraining order against Alex R., but the court denied it.)

And, remember, Logan was convicted in 2017 of felony grand theft from an employer — for stealing money in 2014 from RSM Plumbing. (Case No. 16WF2434) But Logan’s resume says nothing about RSM Plumbing.

Furthermore, in January 2013, when now-deceased Mission Viejo attorney Brady Price sued Logan for personal loans he’d made to her, his process server served Logan at the address of a Petco in Oceanside — not at Wykidal’s Newport Beach law office. Petco seems like a more likely employer for the then-three-time financial felon than a law office. (And what in hell was the brainy, well-educated Price doing within wallet-snatching distance of the felonious, ne’er-do-well Logan? We’ll never know for sure, but we’re told he had cripplingly low self-esteem which fed chronic alcohol abuse.)

Several of Logan’s other court cases from that period (there were many) make it hard to believe she had the stable, professional job she claims in her resume. For example, she was arrested on May 2, 2013 (a Thursday) for unlicensed escorting, and told the officer she had sex with men for money about three times a week. She was arrested for sleeping in her car in November, 2012. She stole money from “Margaret L” in 2013. In 2014, she was arrested for driving without a license (one of four such arrests that decade), failed to appear, and was at large on a warrant from April, 2015 through January, 2016. In 2009, she was sued for causing a car accident in which she was uninsured, and Amco obtained a default judgment against her. (That’s another of the many debts Logan is trying to discharge in her bankruptcy.)

In the 2021 resume, Logan claimed she lived in Newport Beach. We know that’s not true, because her bankruptcy petition said she lived in Rancho Cucamonga in 2019-2020, and thereafter in Fountain Valley. Both are a long way from the beach. It’s just more evidence of Logan’s determination to present herself as an upscale beach gal, regardless of the facts.

There’s more to go through. But first — unlike Logan — we’ve got work to do. Good luck to the HR folks of SoCal.
