Jessica Ann Lawson Camargo

Unfortunately, my experience with Jessica as my attorney was extremely disappointing. Over the course of nearly a year handling my custody case, she demonstrated a consistent lack of professionalism, organization, and respect for both me and the process. From the beginning, there were issues. Desp...ite repeated attempts to pay my retainer, the payment link was being sent to my ex-husband — a serious and inappropriate error. Additionally, I provided my ex-husband’s correct physical address multiple times, yet documents were repeatedly sent to the wrong address. At one point, paperwork was even sent with another child’s name on it. There were also multiple occasions where scheduled meetings simply did not happen because she failed to attend — without a call, text, or explanation. The most troubling matter was her repeated attempts to obtain my minor child’s full mental health records, despite my explicit refusal and confirmation from my child’s therapist that it was unnecessary. She continued to pressure me and billed me for related emails, even after my clear denial. The final incident occurred on July 30th of this year, when she again failed to appear for a scheduled Zoom meeting. I waited for over an hour with no communication. This was not an isolated event but part of a repeated pattern. I want to be clear: I have proof and documentation of everything I’ve stated here. Court dockets, emails, and billing records confirm her representation. I mention this because she has responded to other negative reviews by claiming, “I never represented this person.” That cannot be said in my case — my name and hers appear together in the Lorain County docket, which anyone can verify. In my experience, Ms. Camargo and her staff demonstrated incompetence, lack of attention to detail, and disregard for client communication. These failures directly impacted my case and my family. An attorney has an obligation to act in their client’s best interest, and when unable to do so, should refer the case to someone who can. Unfortunately, that did not happen here. For the sake of your time, finances, and peace of mind, I cannot in good conscience recommend her services. I intend to report my experience to the appropriate disciplinary bodies, as I have retained documentation of every issue described.

This lawyer has a five star reputation. She is so amazing that she got me full custody of my children, got me away from an abuser, a massive amount of child support and spousal support. Unfortunately, my ex is now going on every platform available to try to ruin her rating. Of course he got caught, s...o now he is doing it anonymously. She is busy because she is in demand. However, I found her to be kind, easy to get along with, and incredibly knowledgeable. There is a reason she is rated two years in a row in the top ten national family law lawyers. I think the fact that the opposing party is going after her like this is a shame and a true testament to how good she really is. What a coward my ex is for posting anonymously now. Leave the woman alone, she is just doing her job and doing it well.

Before retaining attorney Camargo for representation, I had 2 prior attorneys from different law firms that had “tried to help me.” (Family Law-Defendant) I needed to find a lawyer who would truly listen and acknowledge me as an individual and NOT just, "another divorce case." When I reached out... to Jessica, I came to her needing someone who would be willing to defend truth and right and who would be willing to work and advocate for me and my kids to stay together. I can honestly say that Attorney Camargo is not only a great lawyer because she cares for her clients but also because she’s genuinely a great person. She has a strong knowledge of the law, does not forsake good communication, and is not afraid to litigate a matter worth fighting for. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a great lawyer on your side! Thank You Jessica!!!
