Mr. Cannon is amazing. Throughout my entire ordeal with LA County's Child Support District Attorney, he fought for my rights nonstop. When same cruel woman for the county of being a "deadbeat" even though I'd paid my daughter's mother over $1,000 per month with NO court order, Jamaul went to bat for me in a huge way. The county tried to say my payments were "gifts" and that my ex was getting public assistance and that I needed to "pay them back." Jamaul was able to show bills from where me and my ex lived together to prove that I was supporting her for years while she was on welfare behind my back.

Here's Jamaul's sharp (borderline cynical) wit in heartbeat: he once told me that "an incompetent lawyer can delay a case for months and cost twice as much as it should; a competent lawyer can delay it for years and make it cost ten times as much as it should." Well under that logic, I guess he was pretty incompetent because he made my divorce take a really short amount of time. In fact, he convinced me to file a joint "summary" divorce so that the court could automatically grant my divorce in six months without me ever having to go to court. When I told Jamaul I never heard of such a thing, he told me that many divorce lawyers didn't mention this option because it meant way fewer fees on their end. I couldn't believe his candor but I was certainly happy he shared it with me. Because of Jamaul, I had an easy divorce made easy and I couldn't have been happier.

Jumal Cannon does not answer emails or respond to requests. He will be absent for weeks or months and then write a scathing letter that speaks only to his incompetence to get issues resolved at even the basest level of communication; preferring only to work once escalated. If you're looking for any type of resolution on either side of the divorce, this man is not the one you're looking for.

Please read my yelp review to get details of why I rated this firm so poorly. There are also several other reviews on different forums all stating the same thing, these clowns won't call you back or return emails. There are a lot of options when it comes to attorneys in the area and there are a lot of resources for us to do research and make a solid decision on choosing one. If you want to help yourself, keep looking.
