Litigation is a specific skill set that transcends the courtroom.

Mr. Blackmon has the experience to present the client’s cases in trial and the expert judgment to avoid trial when that best accomplishes the client’s objectives.

Unprofessional, inexperienced

Jack presented himself as a caring and experienced family law attorney. I paid his retainer and he took the money and went on vacation, failing to file any paperwork or motions, had to be reprimanded by the judge, refused to return calls or emails and continued to empower his staff to make promises t...hat he would “get to it this week”. When trial approached he quit in the eleventh hour with a nasty and defamatory email forcing me to retain another attorney. His mistakes, unprofessionalism, and complete lack of knowledge ended up costing us tens of thousands of dollars and led to multiple years in court.

Caring and knowledgeable

John is extraordinarily knowledgeable in family law as well as other matters. My case was family law with other intricate matters such as extortion. He is not only knowledgeable but hard working and delivered swift results. My case was resolved quickly and with a desirable outcome.
