Jos Family Law

I originally obtained Mr Jos in 2020 to assist me in my divorce case. I was very naive and unaware of what to expect. Mr Jos seemed like he knew what he was doing and had my best interest. His prices seemed reasonable and he assured me that he would fight for me. He also had a good amount of positive reviews ( which I still question their authenticity at this point) My divorce never went through because I thought that I was going to reconcile with my ex husband at the time. He assured me that my case was closed. I later found out that it was not closed, and I missed out on financial support that I could have been awarded. Mr Jos never advised or informed me of. Fast forward to 2023, I retained Binoye to assist me my child custody case. I again thought that his demeanor and lax attitude was a normal “lawyer attitude.” He initially comes off as very smug and cocky, which I thought was normal for attorneys to act. Turns out that is how he really is, which can be off putting. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and decided to trust in him (again) I expressed to him that I was physically abused in front of my son, I have also been the primary caregiver of my son for over 5yrs. He immediately began to downplay the abuse that I suffered. He started to give me the impression that he is in favor of the father. I noticed that he would downplay my request, and he would rush me to answer questions and agree to things that I didn’t want to. He made me feel as though if I didn’t agree, I would look “bad” and difficult. Working with Binoye Jos gave me an immense amount of anxiety, because I never knew what was happening with my case. I would ask for certain things and inquire about important information,and I would get back a one word email response from him. I had to call multiple times because of the confusion( and slight language barrier) that was already happening. He does not take the time to explain things, and during our meetings he got more and more impatient and rude. He would rush me into making decisions and didn’t seem to care about what my concerns were. There was no prepping before my hearing. He showed up 10 minutes before my hearing started. I soon realized that he is not a litigator, he is a negotiator. He does not feel confident fighting and litigating in court. It seems like he wants to do the least amount of work as possible when working for his clients. My court order and parenting plan had so many holes in it and gray areas that I now have to pay someone else to fix for the best interest of my son and for my peace of mind. In conclusion, I trusted Binoye Jos to fight for me and he failed me. His lack of empathy and his inability to communicate effectively ultimately made my life and my sons life more difficult. The fact that I was made to feel like my experience being physically abused by my ex was “not that bad”, has done more damage and continues to affect me. I never felt like I was being heard or supported by Binoye Jos. His lack of professionalism and his unwillingness to pay attention to detail and what his clients want, in the long run has cost me more money to fix. He was extremely careless with my case and was more concerned with his reputation and not wanting to fight for the best interest of my son. VICTIMS OF DV, don’t let anyone invalidate your experience and your trauma. And don’t allow anyone to make you feel like what you went through doesn’t matter. Find someone who will fight for you, and who will believe you.

For a long time I had searched for a lawyer that would listen to me about my case, take care of business and be well experienced in court. I found all of that and more with Jos family law. Mr Jos and his team worked diligently and effectively to get the best possible outcome for me. There were so many things that weighed on my shoulders. I was able to voice my concerns and Mr Jos patiently listened. With Mr Jos and his team, I was able to successfully get the outcome I was hoping for. I am forever grateful and recommend his services to all who want and need an excellent lawyer to represent them.

Jos from Jos Family Law failed to meet my expectations. He misrepresented his own personal experiences to gain my business and misunderstood my intentions when hiring him. Communication with his office was extremely poor, as they consistently ignored my questions over several months. Furthermore, they prepared paperwork without my input, charged me the full amount, and filed it incorrectly. Their dishonesty continued when they lied about following up on the filing. Instead of addressing the breakdown in communication, they became aggressive when I expressed my concerns. The sudden additional charges were shocking, and I estimate that I have been charged over $5,000 for a single form and unanswered questions. They offered to forgive the final bill if I agreed to represent myself, bombarding me with numerous emails while I sought alternative legal advice. I am hesitant to review a lawyer, but I felt compelled to share my experience. Proceed with caution Edit: 01 June 2023. Months later, Jos reneged on his written agreement and sent another bill. Edit: 09 June 2023. I filed a "PETITION TO ARBITRATE A FEE DISPUTE" with the Orange County Bar Association. I will update with the outcome I lose. If I win I may not be able to update.

When I was seeking interviews, other offices charged me for consultations and didn't convince me, nor they offered the proper information, I can tell it was only about the money. I called JOS Family Law, I thought I was going to get a call back for a different date but no, immediately Mr. Jos took my call and gave me so much detail on how to proceed with my case and didn't charge me for my consultation. By the end of the day after seeking a couple of other offices I was convinced that JOS Family Law was the way to go. Let me tell you that it was the best decision I have made. Mr. Jos is an incredible attorney, he brought out laws in court that I wasn't aware of nor the opposing counsel and it's what helped me win my case. It's like Mr. Jos took out the UNO reverse card on them. In court, Mr. Jos spoke with such a strong voice and firmness that the opposing counsel felt intimidated. Really caught me by surprise. I am very glad I chose Mr. Jos and his great team to represent me. They take time to help you with every question you have. They explain every step of the way and they always have someone ready to help you whether it’s in person or over the phone. Their prices are very reasonable compared to other offices I contacted. Being the respondent in this matter, as a father, I was able to get custody of my daughter and was granted my move-away thanks to JOS FAMILY LAW. Thank you to every one on their excellent team for giving me the help I needed. If I ever have to go through this process again I will definitely be using their great service again without hesitation. I highly recommend going through their office first, I guarantee you will choose their team. I already recommend them with my family and friends.

Jo does an exceptional job when it came to my custody case. He stayed on top of my case and he made sure to always fight for me and made sure I was happy with the outcome.
