Joel A. Abu

Mr.Abu is beyond unprofessional! He would message or email around 1am or along that timeframe. He will pressure you lose the case just so him and the other lawyer look good together. He will take your money but not advocate for you. I had my first trial and he made up excuses on top of excuses to pr...epare prior to the trial date and it never properly happened. The day of the trial he doesn’t show up so I called and texted but he stopped answering. He literally walked in 30mins late with a baseball cap and a shirt with a stain on it. Then throughout the trial he’s talking in circles. Before the prior he was giving me a hard time about parenting time by asking me what I want and when I tell him the schedule he’ll say his lawyer won’t agree then when I say let’s coordinate with his work he’s like no that’s not how it works. So he was purposely saying no to anything I said. He said he will file for my Gal motion and never did. Whenever we need to do anything he tells me he needs to ask for permission from my ex husband’s lawyer. Then he told me my ex husband is a good biding citizen so I have to bend. He doesn’t properly advocate for my wands and tries to bully me thinking he can control me.

I hired Atty. Abu to assist me with a situation with an ex-spouse that was very contentious. He always promptly notified me with new information and I built a strong trust in his knowledge as well as his character. Although the law office representing the other party utilized tactics of sarcasm and i...ntimidation, Atty. Abu never once wavered from being courteous and professional in his conduct and responses to them. I always felt that his assessment of my options were well-thought-out.
