Roxanne Monique Mosley

A couple year ago I got arrested for Peyote. For those who don't know what that is; It's a spineless Cactus plant that the Natives uses for Ceremonies (Prayer Meetings). Which I didn't know at the time was Classified as a(drug), an Illegal substance?! Anyway, I was racially profiled by a Police Off...icer, and eventually consented to a search upon which he discovered a small amount of peyote in my bag. I was arrested and charged with a Felony. I contacted Roxanne Mosley right away, and got her on the Case. About 18hrs later I was released from the Alameda County jail. In less than a Month the case was thrown out. I was a free and innocent man once again. Without proper representation the System can swallow you up. Her passion is to avoid that by any means. I'm just one out of many, that I have knowledge of her helping. And she can definitely help you. Thanks to the Law Office of Roxanne Mosley!

Roxanne Mosely was also the worst decision we (my fiancé and I) made. While she seems knowledgeable about family law and sympathetic to a single dad going through a custody batter with a manipulative ex. Roxanne Mosely represented me for just the days I went to court, while my fiancé filled out, fill...ed, and served my ex my court documents. In 2009, Roxanne showed up for one court date out of two. In 2011, I filed for a change in custody again, trying to gain some weekend time with my daughter, Roxanne showed up for one court date out of four. Roxanne collected her fees and did not show up to court for the last three hearing, one of them being an evidentiary hearing, in while the date was changed that same week, agreed upon by both attorneys, and I was left standing in court like an idiot and broke. You would think the ethical thing to do, would be to refund the client the unused fees. Nope! Not only did she not return my money, she never once sent me a statement showing me where my fees went. My fiancé is familiar with this tactic, because me fiancés old attorney was disbarred from practicing law because she was not sending our statements, refunding residual retainer, and spending the retainers instead of putting them on the clients account. Roxanne kept my money and refused to return my phone calls. Finally, my fiancé and I resorted to blocking our phone number just to get her to answer the phone. The conversations always ended quickly, with Roxanne saying she was in court and would call me back. While I could hear her in a echoing bathroom fumbling with what sounded like the things she uses to get ready in the morning. She never did call me back. When I tried to file for a substitution of attorney, it took almost 4-months to get the papers back from her with a signature. I think she probably has too many things on her plate, it does not make it right to take advantage of people. I think she could be a great attorney if she conducted herself ethically. I did not find out months after my last court date that opposing council sent Roxanne papers that I was never notified about by phone or mail. To Roxanne, I have read your comments on here. You are making excuses and you know what they say about excuses… Make a change, be the change, and live the change. On a personal level, I felt you were a great and kindhearted individual. However, as an attorney, you are full of false promises with no follow through. My fiancé and I knew the possibilities of outcomes, but your took my money and when I told you I wanted it back you told me I racked up fees for our phone calls. I added up my calls to you, and they came nowhere near what I paid you. You also stated you where sending an itemized bill, I have NEVER received one.

I hired Roxanne Mosley in the fall of 2011 for a simple family law matter and gave her a large retainer. When we arrived at the short hearing in December of 2011 I was stunned that when the Judge asked questions that Ms. Mosley did not respond and even when I showed her in my court filing (prepared ...professionally by a Legal Document Assistant (LDA) who works with and referred me to Ms. Mosley) where to find the info, she froze up. Upon seeing my entire case spiraling downward I began to answer the Judge and was informed by the judge that I had hired an attorney to represent me and that she needed to respond. I expected that Ms. Mosley would have come prepared for my hearing and it cost me a lot. Having much concern about this attorney's ability to perform in future hearings, I decided to search for reviews online for Ms. Mosley (had not previously due to her being referred to me by someone I trusted) and found a review on yelp.com which was very concerning: http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-law-office-of-roxanne-mosley-oakland I also found one here on avvo.com titled “Poor guidance” which warned me about her responsiveness, which I later found to be very poor, in fact non-existent. I decided to ask Ms. Mosley for a statement of my account in January. She did not respond to me on January 4th. I again contacted her office on January 9th, again with no response. Then again on January 20th, with no response. On the 4th attempt (January 31st) I got a response from the LDA who referred Ms. Mosley to me. While I was sitting in her office Ms. Mosley having received my letter to dismiss her called the LDA. I did not get to talk with Ms. Mosley however I could hear she was not happy. I had the LDA prepare the Substitution of Attorney and a few days later Ms. Mosley signed it. Unfortunately for me I did not receive anything else. I was waiting for Ms. Mosley to return my file and the unearned fees for my case which I requested in the January 31st letter. My understanding from the California Bar is that she had 10 days to do so. I wrote her a letter again on October 15th and gave her 5 days to respond. I never received anything and as of November 22nd have still not even received a returned call, email or letter from Ms. Mosley, not to mention the large amount of the retainer she still owes me. This caused me great harm as I was forced to represent myself in trial because I could not come up with more funds while my money was being held hostage by someone I hired to make this very painful and stressful event easier. Be aware, do not hire Roxanne Mosley.
