Jodi Callaway Cole

A neighbor of mine here in Far West Texas attempted to steal 2/3rds of my one acre parcel of land with what was proven to be a fraudulent claim of adverse possession. The neighbor is a retired county judge and his brother is also a lawyer; he had free legal services at his disposal. My neighbor... is a long standing member of the good old boy network down here in Far West Texas; his track predatory track record not withstanding. Jodi took my case; she took on an ex county judge along with his brother’s law firm and beat them both handily. I retained possession of my property. The one acre parcel is all I have, and I am so thankful to have had Jodi and her team in my corner fighting for me every step of the way!

After 3 years of being classified disabled and not given work clearance by a group of 5 doctors, and having gone through all my savings paying bills, mortgage, insurance, taxes yet continually denied for Social Security Disability, and no money for a lawyer, my medical staff signed me up for legal as...sistance. A couple of days after, Jodi called me. Explained she’s ‘criminal defense’ but she wanted to help. We met at least weekly for about 2 months. From my memory, stories etc, she tracked down doctors, police officers, etc etc. she demanded that the Social Security Court hear my case. We got a court date 5 weeks ahead. We appeared before the judge with well over 3000 pages of evidence. She told the judge she was not a specialist in medical law but defense. After a hearing that lasted about 3 hours, she and I both thanked the Judge for his time, at which time he congratulated Jodi on a spectacular presentation and research in a ‘strange’ field. He adjourned advised we’d both be alerted after he reviews the evidence and makes a decision. About 2 weeks, we both received a judgement. She won for me! Got maximum allowed AND total reimbursement for back pay dating back over 3 years! Jodi, in my case, was prepared, had a stellar plan and saved. me from life on the street! I owe her my Everything! Thanks again Jodi! I love you!!!!!!

To be fair and honest, I would not recommend this lawyer to a friend, but to maybe somebody with a very small case. She was a waste of my time, ( I stayed in Houston, TX at the time), money, and effort. I traveled to her office from Houston, with faith, thinking that she had it all for this case. Sh...e talked about how she was going to do it all, plan, write memo's. The thing that I remember mostly is that she kept emailing me to "hang in there". Hang in where!! Are you working on and are going to take on this case or aren't you?! Don't waste my darn time! If she did not think that she could take on heavy case, such as a writ of habeas corpus (our case) then don't get us excited in the beginning having we think that you are going to be dedicated, don't take our money as a d*mn retainer, and don't keep sending emails stating that you are working on it and how I'm hanging in there! I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT! She took "her fees" out of the retainer that we paid her and told us that she had other cases and was too busy. WHAT!? She basically took on other cases and left ours, an innocent family, after having been fighting the stupid state of Texas for 28 years, and resigned. Was it money the reason?? Was it lack of knowledge for a writ of habeas? Or was it really fear? Was this case too heavy for you? She should have stated this crap way in the darn beginning! She then refunded my $$ to my parents when it was I who paid her from my bank card. Which kind of a lawyer is this and what kind of business is she running? She could have gotten sued for that alone! Do not waste my time, Lady!
