Jamaul Dmitri Cannon

I need to look for a last minute lawyer to take care of my case. Upon googling for a lawyer, I found Mr. Cannon. I had faith in my case because he has such positive reviews. It wasn't until after the case I was thoroughly disappointed. My case was a simple one, and would have had a different outc...ome had Mr. Cannon been prepared. He showed up in court without any documents prepared and I lost my case, and lost three properties due to the case. All Mr. Cannon had to do was present some documents, but he didn't do anything at all. After losing the case I kept trying to contact him, but he just kept dodging my calls. I went to his office and he just pretended to not be there. Not only did he take my money, but he caused me a greater loss by losing the trial. I would not recommend him at all.

After my boyfriend pushed me down a flight of stairs (sadly not the first time), I had convinced myself that I wouldn't feel comfortable with a male attorney representing me after I finally worked up the nerve to get a restraining order against him. I called a few women attorneys but for some reason... nothing seemed quite right with them. Then I searched avvo and saw Mr. Cannon's name. I called his office and I was impressed with how quickly he (emphasis on HIM responding and not an assistant or paralegal). First, he asked if I was ok; he asked if I still was living in a harsh situation. He said he had great referrals for domestic violence counselors (which kinda surprised me coming from a man). I was amazed that Mr. Cannon asked all of these things that had nothing to do with HIM actually getting business, and he sounded like he genuinely wanted to make sure I was ok before "talking shop". And when he did start discussing the process for restraining orders, he was really patient, and explained the difference between temporary and permanent restraining orders. He told me the temporary order was "easy" but the permanent was "hard". He told me how to get an Emergency Protective Order from the police before seeking a family order. I was so impressed I had the utmost confidence and I hired Mr. Cannon. At my hearing, he continued to exceed expectations. He gave a killer opening statement, he made sharp arguments, he was able to stop my ex from trying to "put the victim on trial" by bringing up a bunch of irrelevant stuff. He totally threw my ex off on cross-examination. In the end, I got a 5 year restraining order and I couldn't be happier. I know the focus of Mr. Cannon's business is divorce but if TROs are only what he handles part time, I can't imagine how smart he must be in his main practice. I could rave on for days but I've already rambled enough. Thank you Mr. Cannon

I hired Jamal cannon as my attorney to help me to represent me in my divorce and child custody case. He promised me that in a couple to a few months the whole process would be done, and it took me over nine months to just received ONE phone call from him. The one time we had finally gotten a court da...te to consolidate my cases ...he didn't show up to court..never called me ..never told me about any return or future court date, ignored all of my calls and emails and said that the reason he didn't return any of my calls or emails was because he was mad at me. I would definitely not recommend anyone losing any of their hard earned money or precious time that they have to see their kids or to file divorce documentation do not waste your time with this guy he is a joke I would NOT recommend anyone use his services. Anyone else having a problem with him should go to the American Bar Association in California and filed a complaint against him. He does not have any full time staff, it is only him and one partner and they never returned my phone calls in over a year and it was rare when they would return any of my emails. I finally went to his office we rather wait outside of his door for over an hour for him to get back to for him to say he couldn't see me because he was waiting on someone else so as we argued he said that he was quitting working on my case. And that I still owed him a balance lol . been over one year and five thousand dollars + into it he never once show me any type of documentation with you filed or phone calls that he made or any type of effort to look into my case. He told me that I was not divorced charge me extra for a divorce fee and then come to find out when your later at that I was already divorced. And said "sometimes it just doesn't show up" I finally ended up calling Los Angeles family law services and they helped me file all the paperwork that he charged me five thousand dollars for in less than 30 days for under $1000 and got me a mediation and a court date within the next 30 days.
