Do not retain under any circumstance

I hired Jordan to represent me in a custody and child support case against my ex-wife. In the initial consultation, he spoke very firm and confident, and I felt good hiring him to represent me. Shortly after striking the check Jordan‘s entire demeanor and representation style changed underneath the o...riginally confident exterior was a coward who was only after my money just like my ex-wife. He knew zero details of our case constantly tried to convince me to give up time with my children, which is what he was there to protect and as it came time for the child support case literally sent me an email that said prepared to write her a big check. This was all after I have been paying child support willingly for years without a court order. He was rude, arrogant, and lazy as an attorney. I told him from the beginning I wanted to go to court in front of a judge time and time again, he convinced me this was a bad idea and that he knew the judge in the judge was hard nose and it wasn’t worth the fight. I ended up with an order Where he gave up everything I asked for conceited to my ex-wife and her every demand, and it cost me over $20,000 and we never spent one single day in court. He is a waste of time energy and money.

Truly Cares About His Clients

I had found myself in need of immediate help concerning the custody and safety of my two young children. Mr. Fanney helped me to obtain an emergency hearing. He moved very quickly with ensuring that safety measures were set in place for my children as quickly as possible. With his help, an agreement ...was able to be made. My children are safer and my mind is more at ease. Throughout the entire custody case and after he always provided me with professional, quick and clear communication. Mr. Fanney is an ethical, honest and knowledgeable lawyer. I would absolutely recommend putting your trust in Mr. Fanney. I hope I never need representation again, but if I do, I will retain Mr. Fanney’s services again.
