Jamaul Dmitri Cannon

In a word, Jamaul is flat out amazing. For years I though I would never be able to modify custody with my daughter so I thought he was pulling my leg when he said I had a really good shot at getting 50/50 custody. Heck, even when I went to mediation, the lady said I'd never be able to change custod...y. But we went to court and Jamaul's strategy worked. I was amazed and impressed, and I would recommend him to anyone. Heck, I already referred my brother to him and I'm sure he's doing a great job on his divorce as well. All in all, Jamaul's a great lawyer.

I was a bit wary of using the internet to seek an attorney. However, after my divorce in New Jersey, my wife moved to California and almost immediately decided to sic Los Angeles County Child Support Services on me. Never mind that the ink was barely dry on my divorce...the same divorce in which my... wife agreed to a set amount of money per month. Two months later, she was crying that "I left her with nothing" and that I needed to pay double what she originally agreed to under "guideline." I eventually happened upon Jamaul and he was unbelievably knowledgeable and friendly to my budget. While other attorneys wanted thousands in retainer fees and demanded that I pay a "double retainer" to go to both child support court and family court, Jamaul gave me one reasonable flat fee and told me he could take care of the matter with just one hearing. That is exactly what he did and although I felt completely ganged up on by the County, Jamaul fought for me rights and convinced the judge to dismiss my ex's petition for lack of jurisdiction (she hadn't lived in LA County long enough to even file). When my wife filed again, Jamaul got her request dismissed because of her failure to include certain financial documents. After failing twice, my wife finally gave up and accepted the same amount we originally decided upon. All in all, Jamaul was excellent and I would recommend him highly to anyone.

This guy just might be one of the smartest attorneys I've ever met (and that's saying something because I've been divorced four times). By far, my experience with Jamaul and his staff was top notch. He has very flexible billing arrangements, he was respectful yet aggressive in court, he is an unbel...ievable legal writer. When all was said and done, even though divorce (unfortunately) is all too familiar for me, I cannot recommend Jamaul more highly. He will absolutely be my next call when it comes time for my fifth divorce!!

Jamaul was great. I was terrified I would end up paying at least $2,000 a month in alimony and child support to my lazy ex who never worked a day in her life. Mr. Cannon got the judge to "impute" income to her and got me equal custody with my son, which my ex's lawyer constantly claimed I would nev...er get. All in all, I ended up spending half of what I thought I was going to have to and Mr. Cannon ran circles around the other lawyer. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I was extremely wary of hiring Jamaul Cannon to handle my third divorce initially. It was nothing personal, I simply had two previously bad experiences with other divorce attorneys (one of whom was a referral). At a certain point, I began to think maybe the issue (was me). Divorcing three times te...nds to make one feel like everything is his fault. At any rate, Jamaul picked me up and couldn't have been a better joy to work with. In the past, I had attorneys who claimed it was in my best interest to fight for "every little nickel." Jamaul took a different approach: he simply asked me what was most important to me, then gave me a range of how much it would cost to fight for each item. Then WITHOUT PRESSURE, he let me decide what was and was not a deal breaker for me and he litigated my case accordingly. Imagine that, an attorney who actually values what his client is seeking. At any rate, not only did I have a top notch experience with Cannon Legal Group, I have already referred them two other cases.
