Replied last August 20, 2017I apologize that you view me agreeing to drive over a hour and a half to meet you in Lancaster for your convenience on a Saturday morning when my office is traditionally closed as unprofessional. Furthermore, after spending countless hours on your case and securing what would have resulted in a complete dismissal only to have you refuse to listen to my advice was disheartening. I am truly sorry you are continuing to deal with this but wish you would have listened to my dismissal recommendation. Best of luck, Attorney J. Tooson
Jamal L Tooson's Lawyer Endorsements
"J. Tooson is incredible attorney. He is not only highly knowledgeable and skilled in the fields of criminal defense and personal injury but also deeply committed to achieving the best outcomes for his clients.. I’ve witnessed firsthand how his experience and client-centered approach make a meaningful difference. I endorse this lawyer!"
"Mr. Tooson is tenacious, relentless, and will stop at nothing to get his clients a good outcome. He knows and has good working relationships with many DA's in the LA county area and will fight for his clients."
"Although I am a lawyer in the LA metro area, my practice is almost exclusively employment defense. For this reason, when a criminal law issue arose, I solicited referrals from fellow attorneys and Mr. Tooson came highly recommended. I evaluate attorneys (including myself) on their ability to deliver clear and comprehensive with alacrity. Now that the matter has concluded, I can say that Mr. Tooson delivered."
"Not only is Jamal kind, caring, and charismatic, he's also GOOD. Any client is in great hands with Mr. Tooson."
"Jamal is a fearless lawyer. From a simple misdemeanor to a complex life case, he case right set of skills to get the result you need. He comes highly recommended!"
"Mr. Tooson is one of the most zealous and professional attorneys I have ever met. He is committed to his clients and is a fierce advocate. I would place any of my loved ones in his hands with full trust."
"Jamal has no fear; he will try any case without reservation. I've seen him try several matters in a row without blinking an eye. Jamal doesn't just try cases all the time - he wins cases, all-the-time. Jamal is a trial machine and a great family man. I am pleased to endorse Jamal."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have had the pleasure of dealing with Mr. Tooson in a criminal matter. He is intelligent, skilled and a pleasure to deal with. He is a fighter but equally compasionate to his clients. His clients are lucky to have him! His trial skills and knowledge are impressive--a talent in every way!"
"There are two ways to evaluate an attorney - look at their reputation and results. Mr. Tooson has a stellar reputation as a tenacious and tremendously skilled trial attorney with results that back up his reputation. I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Tooson on one case in particular and I can attest to not only his legal skill, but also his extreme dedication to his clients. I strongly endorse this attorney without reservation."
"I have known Mr. Tooson for years. We went to law school together. He is extremely passionate, intelligent and hard working. His word is his honor. He was extremely successful as a public defender. Now in private practice clients will have access to him where they otherwise did not in the past. I strongly recommend him and endorse him."
"Mr. Tooson is an excellent attorney and a good person. I endorse him without reservation."
