Posted by Autumn | October 20, 2015 | Foreclosure

Great until he stopped returning our messages

We had contacted John Odom for a consultation for our foreclosure issue, I had a great phone consultation with him where he was confident he could help us (he was referred to us by the Army). I received an email from him the first week of March following sending him the documents he requested for re...view. He said he would get back to me "next week." Well, after over 6 months, 3 messages left with his secretary, and at least 2-3 emails to attempt to follow up on the status of our case and zero response, I finally gave up. I was very disappointed since he came off well on the call and I was looking forward to working with him. He might be a fantastic lawyer, but it appears I will never find out. I wouldn't have had a problem if, in the end, he didn't think we had a case or if his workload didn't allow for our case, but I deserved a response and to be notified of that. Since we tried to be patient since we knew we weren't the only clients he had and we know things take time, we still have been unable to make headway on recouping our loses because we are now back to square one.

Relationship: Other

"I endorse this lawyer. Simply put, COL (RET) Odom is The Man. He is so knowledgeable with the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), that he is always the first person I e-mail whenever I have any questions. He always responds in a timely manner and provides me with great insight and prospective on the case. I am always grateful for his expertise and mentorship. And I'm not the only one... COL Odom annually lectures junior judge advocates in the military, who are assigned to legal assistance, at both the Army's Judge Advocate General School and the U.S Navy's Naval Justice School. Straight out of central casting, he's the epitome of the southern-gentleman lawyer. Top notch and an expert as well, you can't go wrong with COL Odom's representation."

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Col (Ret) John Odom was a reserve supervising attorney over me while I served on active duty in the Air Force JAG. Simply put, you can find no finer example of a trial lawyer anywhere! He is compassionate, knowledgeable, and energetic. He is the kind of lawyer that every lawyer wants to be like. I consider myself lucky to have served under such a fine JAG officer."
