Jamaul Dmitri Cannon

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.

Fortunately (or unfortunately) I have the perspective of being divorced twice and having two different attorneys with totally different approaches. With my first divorce, even though I felt my attorney did an adequate enough job, I felt like I received virtually no personalized attention (or any att...ention at all since I could never get ahold of they guy). Things played out, I was happy about some things, mad about others, but over all, things went ok. But that's all I would say: things were ok. WIth Jamaul, he took a personal interest in my case from day one. His team is also second to none, Will is a great partner and just as knowledgeable. Ana is just about the friendliest legal assistant on the planet. She still won't go out with me, but I digress! At any rate, Jamaul was very aggressive against my ex-wife's attorney, never backed down, and always fought for me. He was so helpful and knowledgeable and he went out of his way to explain stuff that he's probably told others a million times, but he never was the slightest bit annoyed or bored. All in all, I can't recommend him highly enough.

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.

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.

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!!
