Jamaul Dmitri Cannon

When I first walked in, I was a little dubious of Cannon Legal Group. Mr. Cannon sure talked a good game, and that's why I came through the door. But I had a complex divorce case involving forensic accountants valuations of multiple community property businesses and with significant real estate hol...dings that generated varying amounts of rental income. So when I discovered that Mr. Cannon didn't have a file clerk or paralegal, I doubted he had the resources to handle my matter. Boy was I wrong. Between Mr. Cannon and his partner Mr. Watkins, they handled my case exceptionally. They promptly returned all calls, they showed a clear desire to reach a fair settlement as opposed to trying to try the case for the sake of racking up fees. In the end, I got a very favorable settlement for much less than I spent on my initial attorney and I could not recommend "CLG" highly enough.

Mr. Cannon is a great attorney. If I could describe him in one word, I'd say "patient". I told him going in that I'd never been through divorce, and I'd probably ask him a bunch of "stupid questions." And even though some attorneys I spoke to claimed there's no such thing, Mr. Cannon was the only ...one who seemed like he meant it. He also walked me through every step of the process no matter how many other questions I gave him. He also helped to convince me to let go of a ton of bitterness I harbored towards my ex in order to work towards a better settlement for the sake of my kids. At the time, I didn't like him very much, but now, I'm very thankful I listened. All in all, I couldn't recommend him highly enough.

What every reviewer is saying about Jamaul Cannon is true: he is brilliant, professional, and courteous. I urge you to do yourself a favor and take this rare opportunity and hire Mr. Cannon. He is both a towering legal intellect as well as a considerate professional who will patiently explain his leg...al strategy and expectations. Before I met Jamaul, I had the misfortune of hiring another attorney to represent me in my recent divorce. My case involved a short-term marriage with no children nor assets in common. Nevertheless, my ex-wife, who is both well-educated and has extensive work experience, demanded a ridiculous amount of spousal support (approximately 50% of my salary). Not only was that other attorney as courteous as a DMV employee (he rarely returned my emails or phone calls), his legal strategy to defend my interests can best be summarized as "just lay on your stomach." Once I realized that my case was headed towards financial disaster, I decided to seek competent legal representation and I was lucky enough to find Jamaul. From the moment I met Jamaul, I realized that I was in the presence of a man who is in full command of the law. It took him but a few seconds to dismiss my previous attorney's 'surrender strategy' and he explained, in simple terms, why my ex-wife was not entitled to any spousal support. Against Jamaul's wishes, I eventually decided to settle with my ex-wife for a fraction of the support that she originally demanded. There is no question that Jamaul's formidable efforts were critical in saving me from a financial catastrophe. Although my case concluded months ago, I had postponed the writing of my comments because I refused to write a perfunctory, two-minute, review for a man who defended me with the tenacity and determination of a friend. Professionals like Mr. Cannon deserve to be recognized and it is with great pleasure that I wholeheartedly recommend him as your attorney.

Jamaul might be the most honest lawyer in the world. When we first met, he told me exactly what to expect through the entire divorce process. He told me I had to be realistic about things such as custody (I thought I could get sole custody), child support, and alimony (I didn't think my ex deserved... any). Without being condescending Jamaul literally showed me the direct statutes in California that listed factors that courts use to determine these kinds of issues and I was informed why the court would probably rule against me on certain things I wanted. But Jamaul explained in such a common sense and helpful tone, I completely understood where he was coming from. When we got to court, however, Jamaul completely argued for all kinds of exceptions to the law and the judge actually accepted some of these and I managed to avoid paying spousal support. In all, even though he managed my expectations, Jamaul went to bat for me in the most aggressive manner imaginable. I cannot recommend him highly enough, he's a flat out exceptional attorney.

Jamaul is a virtual encyclopedia when it comes to the Family Code. I interviewed numerous so-called Family Law Specialists, who didn't seem to know half as much as he did (though they did want to charge me twice as much as he did). I used Jamaul both for a child custody hearing with my first wife a...s well as to handle a divorce 3 years later with my second wife. In both instances, he simply rolled up his sleeves, went to work and got me the best deal I probably could've had. Without a doubt, his empathy is second to none and I could not recommend him more highly.
