I paid $500 for a consultation with Alain Jayoma hoping to get a thoughtful second opinion on my criminal case, but unfortunately the experience was very disappointing.
During the consult, he did not review any of my case documents and stated he could not even locate my case. Despite that, he stil...l gave very definitive opinions about outcomes (like saying extradition was ā100%ā certain) without reviewing the warrant, filings, or specifics of my situation. I was expecting a case-specific analysis, not general assumptions.
When I mentioned I had heard mixed information elsewhere, he responded sarcastically instead of explaining his reasoning in a professional way. He also used extreme hypothetical examples involving violent crimes that were not relevant to my non-violent case, which felt unnecessary and unhelpful rather than informative.
For a paid legal consultation at that price point, I expected:
- Document review or at least a request for case details
- A measured, fact-based assessment
- Professional and respectful communication
Instead, the consult felt rushed, generalized, and dismissive. Iām sure he is a knowledgeable attorney, but my personal experience as a paying client was that the advice was not tailored to my actual case and the tone did not match the level of professionalism I expected for a $500 consultation.
