Be cautious of who’s hands you put your child in

More than disappointed. I can’t count the number of “out of the office” responses I received over the year after hiring her for a child custody case for my special needs son. She misunderstood mediation issues, explaining them incorrectly to me to in hurry to get an agreement at the “third” mediati...on. She cost me serious loses financially due to her misunderstand what opposing counsel was requesting, in addition to dragging the case out through three mediations over a year. My mistake was not noticing all the reviews I read about her were several years old. She does not match them. Subsequently, I hired a new attorney to help correct her errors and now have full custody of my son. Lennea let my special needs son down and depleted all of my retirement funds while doing so. Be very cautious who you put your life in the hands of. I do not recommend this attorney.

Why I Wouldn't Recommend Lennea Cannon's Legal Services

As someone who has never left a negative review for an attorney before, it pains me to write this, but I feel that the public needs to be aware and cautious about my experience with Lennea Cannon. Despite paying her an additional retainer, she demanded further payments, citing a chargeback issue. Tho...ugh I managed to save up the necessary funds and pay her again, it turned out that she had already received the initial payment, which caused my bank account to be in overdraft for 75 days. Throughout our interactions, she also failed to communicate effectively and was frequently dismissive and rude. When I suggested a fee arbitration service, her responses became increasingly hostile. To make matters worse, she withheld excess funds without explanation, which I found unethical and frustrating. Given my experience, I urge anyone considering her services to conduct thorough research and proceed with caution. While it is concerning to see positive reviews on Avvo, my personal experience was far from positive.
